About Jasmine

Jasmine is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Specialist in Pediatric Nutrition whose work centers on cultural diet adaptation for gestational diabetes. She helps women from African, Caribbean, and Mediterranean food traditions build GD-safe meal plans that honor heritage cuisine — jollof, ackee, fufu, plantains, injera, tagines — rather than asking them to abandon it. Her review work emphasizes that culturally familiar food is medically appropriate food when carb structure and pairing are right.
