your nutritionist, Maryam
My story
I started this journal during graduate school — while I was healing, too.
In my early twenties I was a textbook overthinker. I would weigh oats, log every almond, and still feel like my body was failing me. I had the degree. I had the meal plans. None of it made me well.
What finally helped was slower. A meal that wasn't a project. A morning that wasn't a routine. A relationship with food that left room for being a woman — for periods, for grief, for joy, for travel.
FemGlow is the journal I wish I'd had then. It's evidence-based — because I'm a clinical nutritionist and that's how I think. But it's also gentle, because the women I work with are tired, not lazy.
core belief
“True glow comes from within — from nourishing your body, calming your mind, and honoring every stage of womanhood.”

How I work
The quiet rules of this journal.
FemGlow is…
- Slow, evidence-based women's nutrition writing
- A safe place to learn — especially if you're healing
- Practical, kitchen-table advice you can actually use
- Honest about hormones, periods, gut, skin, and mood
- Respectful of every body size, age, and life stage
FemGlow is not…
- A diet, a cleanse, a 'system,' or a 14-day reset
- A place that ranks foods as good or bad
- A medical replacement for your clinician
- Pretending influencer trends are evidence
- In a hurry. Healing isn't a content sprint.
