MY INSPIRATION
The Real Dish
My world is fueled by curiosity, good food, and meaningful connection. I’m just as happy wandering through a local market halfway around the world as I am cooking in my own kitchen, because both remind me that culture, flavor, and community are what bring life to the table.
We dive into the conversations that matter most—food, health, mindset, and living with intention. With a mix of expert guests and personal stories, the show uncovers the real ingredients for a vibrant life.
MY LATEST CREATION
Superfood Sprinkle
Growing up with Egyptian roots, I was introduced early to the healing power of spices and seeds like black cumin, which have been treasured in Middle Eastern cultures for thousands of years. Superfood Sprinkle is my way of honoring that heritage—combining those traditional ingredients with mushrooms, sesame seeds, sea minerals, and warming spices to create a chef-crafted blend that adds both incredible flavor and nutrient density to everyday foods.
It’s designed to be incredibly versatile—sprinkle it on eggs, avocado, salads, roasted veggies, soups, grain bowls, or even popcorn to effortlessly upgrade both the flavor and nutrition of your meals.
I WROTE THIS FOR YOU
A Food + Wellness Guide for Women 40+
The Heart of It: A Fit Foodie Guide for Women 40+ was born from my passion for helping women take better care of themselves in midlife, especially when it comes to heart health, hormones, and sustainable nutrition. I wrote it to make healthy living feel approachable, delicious, and deeply relevant to the changes women experience after 40 - when EVERYTHING starts to feel different with perimenopause through menopause. It’s filled with supportive guidance, heart-smart recipes, a meal plan, and simple tools to help women nourish themselves with more intention, confidence, and joy.
It's a simple, good step in the right direction - UP!

MY PHILOSOPHY
Just say YES
My world is fueled by curiosity, faith, and the belief that it’s never too late to reinvent your life. After becoming a tru 'American Dream' story creating the brand EatCleaner, being featured on hundreds of TV segments, HSN, QVC and selling the brand to Joy Mangano and Pitbull, I’ve chosen to lean fully into adventure—traveling the world, discovering cultures through food, and embracing the kind of wellness that nourishes body, mind, and spirit.
Along the way, I’m constantly reminded that the most meaningful moments happen around a table, on a long walk through an unfamiliar place, or in the quiet spaces where gratitude and connection live.
My hope is to inspire others to stay curious, stay healthy, and take that next good step toward a life well lived.
