About Anina Ungerer

I am passionate about nutrition, fitness and overall healthy living. After obtaining a degree in Human Movement Sciences at North-West University, I decided to pursue my calling and completed an honours degree in Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Cape Town in 2013. I am currently registered with the Health Professions Counsel of South Africa (HPCSA) and Association for Dietetics in South Africa (ADSA). During my community service stint at a government hospital, I spearheaded an after-hours staff weight loss programme, wherein the “biggest loser” received a prize. I set-up my private practice in 2015 and enjoyed it ever since. It was a privilege to author a piece in the book “101 dinge om te weet vóór jy dieet” in 2016. I have a special interest in women's health and wellness as well as healthy eating behaviours in children, including picky eaters and problem feeders. My consultations and eating plans are uniquely designed, thus looking at your current eating patterns and lifestyle trends holistically and developing a bespoke solution. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, running, reading, cooking, spending time with family and travelling to exotic destinations in Africa and abroad. Enthusiasm is one of my key qualities and I enjoy taking on new challenges with a positive attitude. I also value integrity and strive to treat patients with respect and dignity. Knowledge is power; therefore, I endeavour to stay on top of the latest scientific research and critically evaluate the newest nutrition trends.
