About
Hi, I’m Bridget.
I’m a clinical dietitian with over 30 years of experience, working across paediatrics, metabolic health, and therapeutic nutrition. I trained at the University of Cape Town and have worked internationally in leading hospitals in London and Sydney before returning to Cape Town to co-found Real Food Dietitians.
My work focuses on personalised, evidence-informed nutrition using a lower-carbohydrate and ketogenic approach where appropriate. I support individuals navigating metabolic health concerns, menopause, cancer support, and complex chronic conditions.
