At Dish and Digest, we believe that nutrition should be empowering, not overwhelming.
Why see a dietitian? Well Dietitians are trained medical professionals in all things nutrition - from managing various diseases to helping you make some healthier lifestyle changes. We are masters at finding the route cause to your problems and find you a solution that will work for YOU. Health and nutrition is definitely not a "one size fits all"!
My mission is to help you understand your body’s needs, debunk nutrition myths, and feel confident in the choices you make. Whether you're managing a health condition, looking to feel better in your skin, or simply wanting to learn more about nutrition, Dish and Digest is here to support and educate you every step of the way.
Hey there, I’m Charlene Pienaar, a registered dietitian with a big love for food and an even bigger love for helping people.
Funny enough, my passion for nutrition didn’t start in a lecture hall, it started with my own messy relationship with food. Back then, “being healthy” felt like something other people did… until my habits caught up with me and I knew something had to change. That turning point lit a fire in me. I dove headfirst into the world of nutrition, not just to understand food, but to rebuild my life around it. Now, I get to help others do the same - guiding them to healthier habits, stronger mindsets, and a way of eating that feels good.
All Dish and Digest Dietitians are HPCSA (Health Professions Council of South Africa) registered as well as ADSA registered ensuring our dietitians are up to date with the latest nutrition science.
