— The author

Hello, I'm Yaa.

I'm a registered dietitian (MBA · RDN · LDN · CPT) who believes the best nutrition advice you'll ever get is the kind written for your body. This journal is where I unpack the research — body data, metabolism, hormones, behavior — without the diet-culture noise.

Read what's useful. Skip what isn't. And if something here changes how you eat, move, or think about your body — that's the whole point.
