Candice Japhta
Candice is a registered private practicing dietitian with a Master’s in Therapeutic Nutrition, which she completed in 2022 through Stellenbosch University. She obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Dietetics (Cum Laude) from Nelson Mandela University and started her career during her community service year at Midland Hospital in Graaff-Reinet.
Currently, Candice works as a clinical dietitian at Dora Nginza Hospital, where she focuses on delivering evidence-based nutrition care. On weekends, she sees private patients at EPSWI. Candice has a passion for people and nutrition, with a special interest in eating disorders, sports nutrition, nutrigenomics, gut health, and mental health. She is also a certified Optifast and DNALysis (DNA testing) healthcare provider.
Believing in the power of a balanced lifestyle, Candice is an “anti-diet” dietitian who advocates for developing a healthy relationship with food, rather than following restrictive diets. She is dedicated to providing the best nutritional services based on the latest research and empowering her patients to achieve long-term well-being.
