My Own Dietitian

🍂 September can feel like a fresh season and a natural time to reflect on our routines.

I’ve noticed quite a few posts on social media recently about having a complete “reset” after the summer, often involving strict diets, cutting things out or going back to an all-or-nothing approach.

💭 But what if, this September, we tried a different mindset?

Rather than starting again or trying to be perfect, perhaps it’s about making small, realistic changes that support our health and can actually fit into everyday life.

🌱 In my latest My Own Dietitian blog, I share some thoughts on taking a kinder, more sustainable approach to weight loss.

There is something about September that can feel like a fresh start. Summer is drawing to a close. Schools, colleges and universities go back, darker nights

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The reviews are coming in!

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. It genuinely means so much to me. 💛

Since its release, The Ultimate Nutrition Guide for Weight-Loss Medications has been finding its way into the hands of people looking for clear, trustworthy nutrition guidance, as well as healthcare professionals supporting patients in practice.

I am delighted that readers are already describing it as “an absolute gem”, “clear and easy to read”, “practical” and “a valuable resource”.

Weight-loss medications can be powerful tools, but they do not teach you how to nourish your body, protect your muscle, manage side effects or develop habits that can support you beyond treatment.

As a registered dietitian, I wrote this book to provide the practical, compassionate and evidence-based guidance I believe everyone deserves alongside these medications.

This is not another restrictive diet or a promise of a quick fix. It explains what your body needs before, during and after treatment, with realistic advice you can apply in everyday life.

If you are taking, considering or preparing to come off Mounjaro, Wegovy or another weight-loss medication, this book was written for you.

Hi, I’m Georgette, a Registered Dietitian with over a decade of experience helping people feel their best through evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle guidance.

Since qualifying in 2013, I’ve worked across the NHS, media, and private practice, supporting individuals and communities to make realistic, sustainable changes that truly make a difference.

At My Own Dietitian, my mission is simple — to empower you to thrive through credible knowledge, balanced habits, and a deeper connection to yourself and nature. 🌱

Whether you’re seeking personalised consultations, fresh inspiration from my Ground and Glow newsletter and blog, or just a friendly place to learn more about nutrition — you’re in the right spot.

And because life isn’t all about kale and quinoa… I’m also a mum and grandma navigating the joys of family life through all the ages — from sisters, partners, and friends embracing midlife, to daughters in their 20s, growing grandchildren keeping me on my toes, and my mum approaching her 80s. Add in a Shih Tzu or two (or four!) and an elderly cat, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for balance, laughter, and a lot of love. 🐾

✨ I make health and wellness achievable, enjoyable, and uniquely yours.

You can connect with me through my website contact form, or by signing up to my newsletter: www.myowndietitian.co.uk, or by following me on social media.

O is for Own It — empowerment starts now!

Owning your health is about empowerment, not perfection. It’s about understanding your body, embracing small, sustainable changes, and feeling confident in your choices.

Every meal, every movement, every mindful decision adds up, because the wellbeing you want tomorrow begins with the choices you make today.

At My Own Dietitian, I help you build trust in your own knowledge, translating the science of nutrition into practical, everyday habits that work for your lifestyle. We’ll turn confusion into clarity, restriction into balance, and information into action.

It’s not about an all-or-nothing approach; it’s about taking ownership and changing one choice at a time. The heart health, brain health, and energy you’ll enjoy later in life are being shaped right now by what you do each day.

Because when you own your journey, you don’t just survive; you thrive. ✨

D is for "Dietitian"!

What do dietitians actually do and why should you care? At My Own Dietitian, it’s more than counting calories or cutting foods. My name's Georgette Alayyan and here’s what I bring to the table:

As a registered dietitian, I work from evidence-based science and use nutrition + lifestyle as tools to help you feel radiant, inside and out.

I meet you where you are, whether you’re juggling mid-life changes, health issues, or anything in between. Your body, your timeline, your goals.

My role is to translate complex nutrition science into practical, sustainable habits that fit your life — so health isn’t just something you think about, it’s something you live.

I help with what many confuse as “just diet” but which is in fact total wellbeing: from everyday food choices to sleep, stress, movement, and connection with nature.

As part of my service you’ll get personalised support, not one-size-fits-all advice, because one approach rarely fits all.

✨ Think of me as your nutrition ally: one you can trust, one who can show you what the research says and help you apply it to your unique life.

👉 Want to explore more? Book a private consultation or grab my monthly “Ground and Glow” newsletter (because knowledge + community = power).
