Nutrition is one of the most powerful — and most underused — tools in managing chronic disease. Deborah applies evidence-based dietary therapy to help you take control of your condition.
Clinical note: Nutrition therapy works best as part of a collaborative care team. Deborah works alongside your doctor, nurse, or specialist — not in isolation. If you have a diagnosed condition, please bring your most recent lab results and any prescribed medications to your first session.
Type 1, Type 2 & Gestational Diabetes
Dietary management is the cornerstone of diabetes care. Deborah designs carbohydrate-controlled, glycaemic-index-optimised meal plans that stabilise blood sugar without eliminating the foods you love. Many clients see HbA1c improvements within 3 months.
High Blood Pressure Management
The DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is one of the most evidence-based dietary patterns for lowering blood pressure. Deborah adapts it to Kenyan cuisine and food budgets, making it practical and sustainable.
All Stages, Including Dialysis
Renal nutrition is highly specialised — the wrong foods can accelerate kidney decline, while the right plan can help preserve function for years. Deborah creates carefully calculated renal diets tailored to your eGFR stage and dialysis status.
Sustainable Weight Management
Weight management is not about starvation — it is about understanding energy balance, building sustainable habits, and addressing the root causes of weight gain. Deborah's approach is non-judgmental, evidence-based, and built for the long term.
Including Sickle Cell & Nutritional Anaemia
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in Kenya, particularly in women, children, and pregnant mothers. Deborah builds iron-rich, absorption-enhancing meal plans using affordable local foods available in Kenyan markets.
Heart Health & Lipid Management
Diet is the single most modifiable risk factor for heart disease. Deborah works with clients post-cardiac events, those with high cholesterol or triglycerides, and individuals at elevated cardiovascular risk — designing heart-protective eating patterns.
During and After Treatment
Nutritional support during cancer treatment helps maintain strength, manage treatment side effects, and support immune function. Deborah provides compassionate, practical nutrition guidance throughout diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
Children, Adults & the Elderly
Malnutrition affects all ages — from stunted children to malnourished elderly adults. Deborah identifies the root causes, prescribes therapeutic foods, and works with families on practical, affordable nutrition rehabilitation plans.
IBS, GERD, Ulcers & Gut Health
Gut symptoms are often tightly linked to diet. Whether you have irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux, peptic ulcers, or chronic bloating, Deborah designs an elimination-and-reintroduction plan that identifies triggers and restores gut comfort.
Pregnancy, Postpartum & Breastfeeding
Nutrition during pregnancy shapes the health of both mother and child for decades. Deborah provides trimester-by-trimester dietary guidance, managing gestational complications and supporting breastfeeding to give every child the best nutritional start.
Immune Support & ARV Interaction Management
People living with HIV have elevated nutritional needs, and certain ARV medications interact with food and nutrients. Deborah provides compassionate, confidential nutrition counselling that supports immune health and medication efficacy.
Hypothyroidism, Hyperthyroidism & Goitre
Thyroid function is closely linked to iodine status and other dietary factors. Deborah helps clients manage thyroid-related weight changes, energy levels, and nutrient interactions — including goitrogenic foods and levothyroxine interactions.
