HI !
TAMZIN SWART HERE
soon to be your favourite foodie and nutrition expert.
REMEMBER THAT One small change each day, can lead to remarkable outcomes
Hi, I’m Tamzin – a Registered Dietitian and the founder of Purposeful Eating RD.
I currently work as a Clinical Dietitian at a hospital in Cape Town, where I help people improve their health through practical, personalized nutrition.
I completed my Bachelor of Science in Dietetics at Stellenbosch University in 2017, followed by my community service year at False Bay Hospital.
My passion for endocrine nutrition began with my own health journey. I was diagnosed with Graves’ Disease and, through nutrition and lifestyle changes, I’ve been able to support my thyroid health and improve my thyroid antibodies. That experience deepened my understanding and love for helping other women who are navigating similar challenges.
I have a special interest in supporting women with thyroid conditions, insulin resistance, diabetes, and PCOS. My goal is to help you feel confident in your body again—by using nutrition to support your hormones, manage your weight, and ease frustrating symptoms.
I believe in a realistic and flexible approach to eating. You can still enjoy the foods you love while working toward your health goals. I’ll guide you with evidence-based tools and simple strategies to help you take control of your health, one meal at a time.
