Hi, I’m Thereso G. Mathe, the founder and CEO of Nutriroot Medical Nutrition Company. I am a Christian woman with a strong faith in God and a deep passion for restoring health through our African roots in nutrition.

I founded Nutriroot as a reminder to our communities that true health is not something to be found outside of us—it has been within us all along. From the beginning of time, our Creator has placed the resources for wellness in our soil, our food, and our roots. To me, this is what true nutrition is: food that nourishes both body and soul.

At Nutriroot, we believe that wellness means wholeness—caring for the spiritual, physical, and mental aspects of health. Returning to your roots is about more than food; it is about reconnecting with your identity, your values, and your purpose. In a world filled with constant noise, crisis, and confusion, your roots become your grounding—helping you to eat well, feel well, and live with meaning.

As a Registered Dietitian in South Africa, I have studied the intricate connection between nutrition and physiology. But beyond the textbooks, I have walked this journey myself. I have faced weight fluctuations that challenged my self-image, nutritional deficiencies like low Iron, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin D, as well as hormonal changes and gut issues such as reflux and ulcers. These experiences have shaped not only my practice, but also my empathy—I share this so you know that you are not alone.

Through Nutriroot, I bring together God’s wisdom and evidence-based nutrition to create personalised, compassionate solutions for each person I work with. My role is not just to give advice, but to walk alongside you—to encourage, to support, and to guide you toward a life of balance and wholeness.

Yours in love, yours in health—rooted,
Thereso
