About

I translate the science of food and stress into something you can use.

A Qatari-American, raised between both cultures, food being the connector from one to the other. I founded Raw Middle East (2010), Qatar's first plant-based food factory, and the restaurant Nosh Cravings (2019).

I'm completing doctoral work in health administration, spending most of my time in research. What I share here is the honest, doable version of it, made for a home kitchen.

What I Focus On

The science, in plain language.

01

Gut & Nutrition

Plant-forward nutrition and gut health, translated out of the journals and into your kitchen.

02

Nervous System

How everyday stress reshapes energy, sleep, and appetite, and the tools to steady it.

03

Plant-Forward Living

Plant-forward takes on the dishes I grew up with, made to honour the table, not replace it.
