Waterford Nutritionist Jemma Kehoe
Jemma Kehoe, Nutritionist.
Hello all and welcome to the first instalment of my monthly food and nutrition updates. A huge thank you to the talented photographer that is Keith for inviting me into his cyber world! I’m delighted to be involved and I truly hope that you will find my pieces helpful and of interest.
Firstly, allow me to introduce myself. I am Jemma Kehoe, a nutritionist born and bred in Waterford. I have huge adoration for food and always have done! My mother tells me that I spent most of childhood mealtimes asking her “What’s this Mummy? Is it good for me? Where did it come from?” Now don’t get me wrong, I was certainly no different from any other typical fussy child who didn’t even want greens on the plate, let alone contemplate eating them but I suppose I just always had a fascination with what impact food could have on our bodies. So it all started from there! I spent 3 and a half years studying with the Institute of Health Sciences in Dublin. Once qualified, I was based in a busy Doctor’s surgery until August 2011 when I had to skedaddle to take care of my first 2 little recipes! My twin girls were born healthy and well in October last year so I have been busy nourishing them since their arrival. They are quite the binge drinkers!
I firmly believe in the power of food and its ability to change every aspect of our health and wellbeing. Nobody likes having to cut out foods they love from their diet so as a nutritionist I’m here to help. I have worked in all fields of health and nutrition but I have special interest (and personal experience!) in the impact of nutrition on fertility and pregnancy. So stay tuned as each month I will be talking about specific healthy eating plans, foods to aid digestive problems, energy levels, beautiful skin and hopefully provide some inspiration for you to cook up a wholesome storm in the kitchen!
Health and happiness,
Jemma.
