Taneesha Murray: Empowering<br />
health through nutrition<br />
Taneesha, another passionate dietitian<br />
at Nutritional Solutions, brings her own<br />
unique perspective and dedication to<br />
the field of nutrition.<br />
Inspired by her upbringing in Alberton,<br />
where food was a symbol of love and<br />
connection, she knew from a young<br />
age that she wanted to pursue a career<br />
in dietetics.<br />
After completing her education at<br />
the University of North-West and her<br />
community service in 2021, she has<br />
thrived in private practice, empowering<br />
individuals to make better food choices<br />
to promote overall health.<br />
She advocates for portion control<br />
and balanced meals, emphasizing the<br />
importance of incorporating fruits,<br />
vegetables, lean proteins, and whole<br />
grains. She addresses common misconceptions<br />
about carbohydrates and<br />
highlights the importance of gut health<br />
for overall well-being.<br />
‘Personalised nutrition plays a crucial<br />
role in helping individuals achieve their<br />
health and wellness goals by tailoring<br />
dietary recommendations to each person’s<br />
unique needs, preferences, and<br />
goals,’ she says.<br />
In her personal life, she finds solace in<br />
relaxation, preferably by the pool with a<br />
glass of wine. Despite facing challenges<br />
such as job scarcity after community<br />
service, Taneesha’s resilience propelled<br />
her to acquire new skills, shaping her<br />
determination and resourcefulness. As<br />
she continues her journey in the field<br />
of nutrition, Taneesha remains committed<br />
to empowering individuals to lead<br />
healthier, more fulfilling lives through<br />
personalised nutrition guidance.<br />
Shared commitment to well-being<br />
Together, these two exemplify the<br />
transformative power of nutrition guided by passion, expertise, and care.<br />
As they continue to inspire others on their path to wellness, their legacy serves as<br />
a testament to the profound impact of personalised nutrition in shaping healthier,<br />
happier lives.<br />
Through their dedication and compassion, Monique and Taneesha are truly making<br />
a difference in their community, one plate at a time.<br />
