About
I am Tina!
A Registered Nurse & Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist
Welcome to Well and Tasty! I am so happy to have you here.
I am a Registered Nurse and a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) with a huge interest in chronic disease management through food and nutrition. Growing up in Cameroon, West Africa, it seemed every adult I knew had diabetes or high blood pressure (hypertension). I found my passion through a career in nursing, empowering my patients daily with tools to make sustainable lifestyle changes.
As I worked with my patients to help them reach their wellness goals, I realized that we talked a lot about nutrition. We talked about what to eat and how to nurture the body with a balanced diet. It truly all starts with the food we eat. I started experimenting with different foods and diets and cooking more. Simply put, I fell in love with cooking. The more I cooked, the more I discovered the joys and rewards of eating whole, real foods. I began sharing my kitchen creations and posting to Instagram stories. After much request from my instagram family for a central hub to host my recipes I decided to start Well and Tasty.
Well and Tasty has evolved plenty since those early days. While I still share easy, affordable, flavorful recipes, my focus has shifted to diabetes management through both group and 1:1 coaching. Together, we will navigate the challenges of diabetes, focusing on blood sugar monitoring, medication management, lifestyle modifications, and emotional well-being.
In addition to coaching, I enjoy working with brands, who through their innovative products, strive to make the lives of those living with diabetes easier.
I'm also available for speaking engagements, where I can share insights and expertise on chronic disease management, diabetes care, and education. Whether it's a conference, organization, or community event, I provide valuable information and inspiration to help others lead fulfilling lives while effectively managing their condition.
Thank you for visiting my website. Please feel free to reach out to me for coaching sessions, speaking engagements, or any questions you may have. I would love to hear more about your journey and hope we can inspire each other to live our fullest, healthiest lives. Let's embark on this transformative journey together!
