Tshepiso Thindisa studied at the University of Pretoria and qualified with a Bachelor of Science degree as well as a specialisation in Human Physiology. This degree afforded Tshepiso the opportunity to develop her interests in health and welfare.

Tshepiso’s key focus areas of interest are:

– diseases of lifestyle (high cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure)

– personalised dietary plans and guidance towards general healthy eating

– infant and young child feeding

– healthy eating during pregnancy and lactation

– undernutrition in children and adults

Tshepiso continues to value working within a multidisciplinary team with the aim of providing comprehensive and evidence-based care to the patient.
