“Eating for two” isn’t quite true.

During pregnancy, your body needs more nutrients, not double the food.

This Pregnancy Awareness Week, let’s focus on nourishing well, for mom and baby 🤍

You don’t have to figure pregnancy nutrition out alone.

Dietitians help guide you through each stage, from nourishing baby to supporting your own energy, blood sugar and wellbeing 🤍

Pregnancy Awareness Week is a reminder that support matters.

Goji berries have been around for centuries, but modern nutrition has given them a new spotlight.

Here’s why they’re worth the hype:
• Antioxidant-packed
Helps protect cells from everyday stress and inflammation.

• Great source of vitamin A
Supports eye health, skin health and immunity.

• Gentle, steady energy
A nutrient-dense snack without the sharp sugar spike.

• Fibre for fullness
Keeps digestion moving and helps stabilise blood sugar.

How to use them:
Add to trail mix, sprinkle over oats, blend into smoothies or soak them to soften for baking.

Small berry. Big benefits.

Hi, I’m Alexa 👋

Not the Amazon know-it-all, but a registered dietitian proudly based in the Winelands. I joined the team in 2025 and love keeping nutrition simple, practical and specific.

My passion lies in supporting mothers and babies right from the start, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. With experience in paediatric and neonatal nutrition across both public and private healthcare, I also work closely with children and families. I’m currently expanding my skill set by training as a certified lactation consultant to better support moms in and out of hospital.

I believe education empowers better choices, and my goal is to help you feel confident about your nutrition, whether it’s for you, your baby, or your family. You’ll find me working in ICU, surgical and medical wards at Vergelegen Mediclinic and Busamed Paardevlei… or outdoors staying active when I’m off duty.

Dry January doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

Whether you’re going fully dry, cutting back, or just being more mindful, your body benefits from even small changes.

This month is about listening, not punishing. 💚

Save this for when January starts to feel… long.

Meet flax seeds, the tiny powerhouses everyone keeps talking about.

Here’s why they’re worth adding to your day:
• Fibre booster
Helps keep digestion regular and supports steady blood sugar.

• Hormone-friendly lignans
May support oestrogen balance and overall women’s health.

• Plant-based omega-3s
Great for inflammation and heart health.

• Easy to use
Sprinkle into oats, smoothies or yogurt… but always use ground flax so your body can absorb the benefits.

A little every day goes a long way.
