Goodbye 2025, hello 2026 ✨

A new chapter always brings a quiet kind of courage — the courage to begin again, to rebuild routines, to nurture your health, and to choose habits that honour the life you want.

As we step into 2026, I’m choosing progress that feels sustainable, nourishment that supports both body and mind, and growth that lasts longer than a season. I hope you’ll join me.

Here’s to stronger goals, steadier energy, and a year that supports your wellbeing from the inside out.

As this year draws to a close,we want to pause and acknowledge the people who make Midwell Dietitians what it is — you.

To every patient who trusted us with your health, every client who allowed us into your journey, and every individual who arrived as a stranger but became family along the way… thank you.

Your commitment to your wellness, your courage in the difficult moments, and your willingness to grow — clinically, emotionally, and physically — has been remarkable. You showed up on the days you felt strong, and you showed up on the days you didn’t. That consistency matters more than you know.

Thank you for your support, your kindness, your messages, your feedback, and the joy you bring into our practice. Thank you for allowing Midwell to be part of your story — whether we guided you through diabetes care, sport performance, weight management, or simply creating a healthier life that feels sustainable.

We appreciate every step you took this year, and we are deeply grateful for every one of you who chose to walk that road with us. 💛

Here’s to more growth, more strength, more evidence-based care, and more small victories that build a healthier future — together.

Let’s talk Vitamin B — your body’s daily spark plug.
If you’ve been feeling tired, foggy, overwhelmed, or just “not yourself,” this might be the reason.

Vitamin B drives the fundamentals:
⚡ Energy production
🧠 Brain + nerve function
😌 Mood regulation
💪 Metabolism + recovery
❤️ Red blood cell formation

But here’s the catch… your body can’t store most B-vitamins, so you need a steady supply every single day.

Who often needs a boost?
* Vegans + vegetarians
* High-stress lifestyles
* Athletes
* Anyone on metformin or antacids
* Older adults

And yes — even a mild B12 deficiency can affect memory, mood, and nerve function long before blood tests show anything.

That’s why we love Natroceutics Activated B-Complex at Midwell 👇
✨ Methylated for better absorption
✨ Clean, science-backed formulation
✨ Therapeutic dosing your body can actually use

If your energy feels low, your stress feels high, or your brain feels foggy… Vitamin B support might be exactly what you need.

Pop us a message — let’s find your perfect fit. 💛

🍰 Dessert & Blood Sugar: The Science Behind “Why It Hits Different”

Dessert isn’t the problem — the timing and pairing are. As a dietitian, this is one of my favourite topics because a little physiology goes a long way toward better glucose control.

Here’s the clinical breakdown made simple:

🔹 Dessert on its own
A rapid glucose surge. With no protein, fat or fibre, absorption is fast — and so is the crash.

🔹 Dessert after a balanced meal
A completely different metabolic response. Protein, fibre and healthy fats slow gastric emptying, leading to steadier post-prandial glucose levels.

🔹 A blood-sugar-friendly dessert
Yes, it exists.
Options higher in protein or fibre and lower in free sugars support a more controlled glycaemic curve.

Nutrition should empower you — not overwhelm you.
You’re allowed to enjoy food while supporting your glucose metabolism in a sustainable, evidence-based way. And if this feels confusing, we’re here to guide you through every step.

When are you choosing you this holiday season? ✨

Every December, I watch so many patients step into the festive season with an “all or nothing” mindset — either punishing themselves with restriction or fearing every plate like it’s a test.

Here’s the truth from your dietitian who loves both micronutrients and a good dessert:
You don’t need to survive the holidays. You’re allowed to enjoy them.

Nourish your body with colour, fibre, protein and hydration…
and also enjoy the ice cream, the malva pudding, the slow lunches, the foods that make this season memorable.

Balance isn’t a myth — it’s a skill. One that honours both physiology and joy.
Choose balance.
Choose nourishment.
Choose pleasure.
Choose living. ✨🍓🍦

This festive season, give your gut the support it deserves 🌿✨

Between rich meals, travel routines, and a little extra indulgence, your digestive system works harder than usual. That’s why Probitec and Coolstool remain two of my favourite clinically backed tools for maintaining gut stability during the holidays.

Probitec supports a balanced microbiome, enhances digestive resilience, and promotes healthy immune function — exactly what your gut needs when your routine shifts.

Coolstool helps regulate bowel movements, improve stool consistency, and keep your gastrointestinal tract comfortable and predictable, even when your meals aren’t.

Healthy digestion should feel effortless. These two make that possible — so you can enjoy the season and keep your gut happy.

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it’s the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow.” – Mary Anne Radmacher

Some of my favourite moments in practice come from the clients who think they’ve failed… until they realise that trying again is a form of physiological resilience.

The body responds to consistency, not perfection.
The mind strengthens through repetition, not pressure.

If today feels heavy, give yourself permission to simply begin again.
One choice. One meal. One walk. One check-in with yourself.
Tomorrow holds space for progress — and so do you.🫶🏼✨

Sunshine, good company and a refreshing glass in hand — that’s the essence of a South African summer.

This vibrant Summer Sangria is one of the many nourishing, flavour-forward recipes in our Midwell recipe book. (Available at www.midwell.co.za😉)

Crafted with whole fruit, natural antioxidants and balanced sugars, it’s a drink that brings joy without overwhelming your metabolic system. Perfect for long lunches, family gatherings and warm December evenings.

Share it, savour it, celebrate with it — you’re going to want to try this one. 🍊✨

Festive season celebrations often come with a glass in hand — and that’s perfectly okay.

As dietitians, our goal is to help you enjoy the moment while still supporting your metabolic health.

So, here’s a quick alcohol comparison:
Beer vs. G&T (with diet tonic) — a small swap can reduce total kilojoules, lower added sugar intake, and support steadier blood glucose levels… all without taking away the fun.

Healthy choices don’t have to feel restrictive; they just need to be informed.
Enjoy the season, stay hydrated, savour every moment — and choose the option that keeps you feeling your best the next day too. ✨🍸🍻
