Balancing her professional commitments<br />

young boys.<br />

Her dedication to Little Kickers, a family-owned<br />

venture, reflects her unwavering<br />

commitment to both her career<br />

and personal life.<br />

‘Looking ahead, I am excited about the<br />

future of Nutritional Solutions in Joburg<br />

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 />
