About Praise
I am Praise Mudzongo, a Registered Dietitian with a BSc Honours in Dietetics from the University of Limpopo (SA) and over 7 years clinical experience. I am registered with the Allied Health Professions Council of Zimbabwe and Founder of the Dietetics Institute for Diet & Wellness.
I am a solution-oriented Dietitian — I don't just give you a diet sheet, I walk with you until you get results.
What I've done in 7 years:
• Current: Dietetic Institute. Previously a Dietitian at CIMAS Medical Aid Society — Dietetics & Wellness Coaching. I facilitate nutrition programmes for corporates and individuals, run one-on-one wellness coaching, health risk assessments, and I have established corporate clinics, wellness centres, and resource centres for nutrition information inside companies. I also run antenatal, postnatal, and chronic conditions wellness group classes and support groups. • Previous: Ministry of Health and Child Care — Head of Hospital Food Services Department / Clinical Dietitian. I headed the department, managed human resources, planned ordinary and therapeutic diets, developed departmental policies and patient care protocols for quality assurance, and worked with NGOs on nutrition interventions and community awareness campaigns.
My clinical strengths include Medical Nutrition Therapy, Renal Patient care (assessing and educating patients & caregivers based on condition and socio-economic status), Parenteral & Enteral Nutrition for post-surgical and critically ill patients, Paediatric Nutrition including Management of Severe Acute Malnutrition, and patient follow-up to ensure compliance.
Additional training: Postgraduate in Paediatric Nutrition (Boston University School of Medicine), Diploma in HIV Management & Counselling, Emergency Obstetric & Neonatal Care, Nutrition Support in COVID-19, and training-of-trainers in Nutrition & Agriculture (Zero Hunger SDG).
What I bring to your lessons:
I create scientifically proven, practical nutrition content — diet sheets, posters, pamphlets, and client-specific plans — not copy-paste diets. I have trained healthcare professionals, catering staff, and corporate clients on prevention and management of lifestyle diseases for real behaviour change.
Whether you are newly diagnosed with Type 2, living with renal disease, or you want sustainable wellness, I teach you how to make informed, practical food choices that fit your budget and your culture.

About My Lessons — Diabetes & Wellness That Actually Fits Your Life
I am not a meal-plan seller. I am a Registered Dietitian with a BSc in Dietetics, 7 years clinical experience, and Founder of the Dietetics Institute for Diet & Wellness.
In 7 years I have sat with hundreds of newly diagnosed Type 2, prediabetes, and busy professionals who were told "stop eating sadza" — and then failed. My approach is different.
What makes my coaching unique:
1. Sadza-Friendly, Not Sadza-Free
We don't cut your culture. I teach you how to portion sadza, when to swap to mhunga/rapoko, how to pair muriwo, madora, matemba, beans to keep your sugar stable. Your family can still eat together.
2. Numbers to Food Translation
You bring your glucometer, HbA1c, and food diary. I don't just look at them — I translate them into: "This is why your sugar was 11.2 at 10am, and this is what we change tomorrow." No guesswork.
3. Institute-Level System, 1-on-1 Attention
This is not random advice on WhatsApp. You get the same 4-week Reset system I use in my Institute:
• Week 1: Clarity — Your diagnosis, your numbers, your goals • Week 2: Food Reset — Plate method, carb counting with local foods, shopping list.
. Week 3: Life Reset — Stress, sleep, walking plans that work, shift work, eating out
. Week 4: Stay On Track — How to handle birthdays, travel, low sugar, and keep weight off for good.
Includes personal meal template, glucose/food log review between sessions, and WhatsApp voice-note support.
Who I help best:
Newly diagnosed Type 2, prediabetes (HbA1c 5.7-6.4), PCOS with insulin resistance, and anyone tired of generic Google diets that don't work.
What you won't get:
No starvation, no expensive imported foods, no medication changes — I work WITH your doctor, I send progress notes if you want.
If you want a dietitian who has done this for 7 years, who runs an Institute, and who understands our food and our reality — book the free 15-min Sugar Check. Let's see if my Reset is right for you.
