WELCOME TO NUTRITION BY KIRBY


Hi, I'm Kirby

Registered Dietitian

Fellow PCOS Cyster & Endo Warrior

After completing  a B.Sc. in Dietetics through the University of the Western Cape in 2014, I worked as a Dietitian at Groote Schuur Hospital for my community service year.  After which I started my private practice in Cape Town which is where my passion for Women’s Health began.

As a Registered Dietitian, it is my incredible honour to help you on your unique health journey as we work together to sort through the science, uncover the “why” behind your symptoms, and discover personalized strategies to nourish your body with all that it needs to thrive.

I was diagnosed with PCOS and endometriosis and for years I suffered from painful cycles, digestive complications, and very little understanding of my hormones, growing up with painful periods became “normal” and the pill and painkillers were the solution. After years of training and working with hundreds of patients in hospitals and private practice, I’ve found what works, and what doesn’t.

In short, I have been in private practice for over a decade. Certified in nutrigenomics and with a passion for making health and nutrition info easy to understand and put to use in your already busy life. 

I find myself so fortunate to have worked with dozens of women to help them achieve regular menstrual cycles, increased energy, better sleep, clear skin, pain-free periods, thicker hair and nails, better digestion, improved fertility, pregnancy, and more! Your hormones shouldn’t be preventing you from leading the life YOU deserve! It’s time to take the power back so you can build your dream life without pesky hormone problems!

It is truly my passion to partner with my patients and teach them not only what their body needs but help them take the lead in their health. Food is a powerful medicine when you know how to use it.
