Nadhirah Haleem - Dietician

I’m Nadhirah, your go-to expert for all things food and nutrition. Whether you’re looking for delicious recipes, aiming to debunk common food myths, or simply want to get back to the basics of the five food groups, I’m here to help!

As an accredited practicing dietitian with over three years of experience in private practice, I’ve had the privilege of consulting with patients facing various health challenges, including Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and irritable bowel syndrome, among others.

What I cherish most are the meaningful conversations I have with my patients about food. Food is more than just sustenance; it plays a crucial role in our mental health and overall well-being. I’m passionate about helping you navigate your unique relationship with food to achieve your personal goals.

My approach is centered around three key principles:
– Mindfulness: Tune into your body’s cues.
– Balance: Enjoy a diverse range of foods.
– Nourishment: Fuel your body with the goodness it deserves.

I love what I do, and I’m excited to share my insights and support you on your journey to better health!
