      We’re all looking to get our health and fitness on track, and what better way to do so that with Dubai’s first true health food kitchen.
      Nourishing, creates an effective meal plan for each customer tailored according to their needs.
      Jeff Zorn, Founder of Nourishing shares how he launched Dubai’s first true health food kitchen.
      What do the first 30 minutes of your day look like, your morning routine?
      I wake up with the sunrise, grab a glass of water with a pinch of salt and then head out with our four poodles for a walk around the block. Once I’m back to the house I jump on the treadmill for some quick cardio. Then prepare my NOURISHING breakfast and 2 cups of black coffee (shout out RAW Coffee) or Nourishing Bone Broth depending on how stressful my day is looking. I make it a point to delay picking up any technology at the start of the day.
      What inspired you to launch Nourishing?
      The inspiration behind Nourishing stems from my own health journey. Dealing with an autoimmune condition firsthand, called “weeping eczema”, which made me realize the transformative power of food and the folly of trying to treat the symptoms without addressing the root cause. I wanted to create a turn key solution where individuals like myself could find healing through natural and nourishing meals. Thus, Nourishing Dubai was born, with a mission to empower others on their path to wellness through delicious, wholesome food.

      Talk us through the concept?
      At Nourishing, we’re more than just a kitchen; we’re a lifestyle. Our concept revolves around crafting meals that not only satisfy the taste buds but also nourish the body from within. We embrace the principles of the autoimmune paleo diet, focusing on whole, unprocessed ingredients that support optimal health. Our menu is thoughtfully curated to cater to the various cultures in the UAE, ensuring that everyone can enjoy flavorful, nutrient-dense meals without compromise.
      How can a gluten-free diet positively affect your daily life?
      Eliminating gluten from your diet for 30 days is probably the most powerful single change you can make in your life, for your health and your body composition (ratio of lean mass to body fat). It can have profound effects on both physical and mental well-being. For many individuals, gluten can trigger inflammation, immune & digestive issues, hormone imbalances and even neurological symptoms. By eliminating gluten from their diet, people often experience a refund of energy from their immune system, improved digestion, and enhanced mental clarity as well as a reduction in excess body fat. It’s about reclaiming control over one’s health and thriving, rather than unquestioningly reaching for that piece of bread.

      Nourishing is not just about eating clean – it’s about living clean. – tell us more.
      Absolutely. At Nourishing, we believe that true wellness starts with the plate, but then extends beyond. It’s about cultivating a lifestyle that nurtures the body, mind, and soul. This means prioritizing self-care, fostering meaningful connections, and embracing mindful practices. Our aim is to empower our clients to not only eat well but also live with intention, vitality, and joy. One of the main benefits of Nourishing is not just improved vitality to pursue what makes you happy, but also freeing up the time needed to engage fully in those activities.
      What are some of the most beloved dishes to try from the menu?
      Our menu is a celebration of vibrant flavors and nourishing ingredients. Some of our most cherished dishes include our famous Paleo Lasagna and Shepard’s Pie, our assortment of tacos made with our fresh gluten free tortillas, and last but not least, our insanely good GF & DF Chocolate Brownies which we give out at the end of every week. Each dish is crafted with love and care, subbing out inflammatory ingredients and then using only the highest quality ingredients to deliver an experience that is equal to or better than recipe we are emulating.
      How can good quality food positivly impact your body and mind?
      Quality food is the foundation of optimal health and well-being. By nourishing our bodies with wholesome, nutrient-dense ingredients, we provide the essential building blocks for vitality and resilience. Good quality food not only becomes our physical bodies but also fuels our minds, supporting cognitive function, mood regulation, and overall mental clarity. It’s about honoring our bodies as temples and providing them with the nourishment they deserve.

      Great meals start with the best ingredients – where do you source your ingredients from?
      At Nourishing, we take seriously the oath, “first, do no harm”. We remove a long list of foods that drive inflammation including gluten, industrial seed oils, dairy, GMO’s, etc. We then invest in the highest quality ingredients possible. Whenever feasible, we prioritize locally-sourced, organic produce and sustainably-raised meats. By partnering with suppliers who share our commitment to quality and integrity, we ensure that every dish we serve is crafted with care and thoughtfulness.
      “Good quality food not only becomes our physical bodies but also fuels our minds.”
      Can food allergies and intolerances be accounted for during the program?
      Absolutely. We understand that everyone’s dietary needs are unique, which is why we offer customizable meal plans tailored to accommodate food allergies, intolerances, and preferences. Whether it’s gluten, dairy, eggs, soy or any other dietary restriction, our team works closely with clients to ensure that their meals are not only safe but also delicious and satisfying. Our goal is to empower individuals to thrive on their wellness journey, one nourishing meal at a time.
      This is ‘The Body Issue’ – what are your non-negotiable self and body care practices?
      Self-care is paramount to overall well-being, and I prioritise it in my daily life. This includes regular exercise, whether it’s a morning sunrise hike and breathing session or an evening walk in nature. I also prioritise quality sleep, stress management, and mindfulness practices to nourish my body, mind, and spirit. By investing in self-care, we can cultivate resilience, vitality, and inner peace, allowing us to show up as our best selves in every aspect of life.

      How I got my job as… Founder of the accessories brand, Wandler

      by

      Life

      by Sarah Joseph
      53 mins ago

      This week, Emirates Woman spoke to Elza Wandler, founder of the incredibly luxe leather bag and accessory brand, Wandler.
      Welcome to the Woman weekly series ‘How I got my job as…’ where we speak to some incredible entrepreneurs and business women both based in the UAE and globally to find out about their career paths that led them to where they are now; what their daily routines look like; the advice they’d give to those starting out; and the hurdles they’ve had to overcome.
      Elza Wandler’s namesake brand, Wandler has solidified its status as an A-lister favourite, street style staple and innovative newcomer in the fashion industry.
      THE OUTNET now has an exclusive, upcycled capsule in partnership luxury leather goods brand, Wandler. This exclusive 16-piece collection focuses on beautifully crafted leather handbags and shoes. Her namesake brand is committed to redefining craftsmanship, with an expertise and passion in leather, with the capsule being a true reflection of Wandler’s visual identity and message.
      From playful mini and crossbody bags made with responsibly sourced leather of the highest quality,the collection will be available globally on The Outnet from today, June 25, 2024.
      To delve into her journey more, Emirates Woman understood how it all began and learned about how Wandler innovates season after season.
      What was your first job?
      My very first job, when I was about 14-15 years old, was working in the blueberry fields in my town. It taught me the value of hard work from an early age. During high school, I worked at a fashion boutique, which sparked my interest in the fashion industry. However, it was through my official first job after my studies that I really learned what it took to build a brand. As a designer for the ‘Made & Crafted’ line at Levi’s, I saw the entire spectrum from sourcing materials and branding to marketing and sales. It was an invaluable learning experience that provided me with the right tools to understand what is needed to build a fashion brand.

      What inspired you to launch Wandler?
      I always wanted to have my own brand. I started with handbags because I love their sculptural and architectural qualities. Their bold shapes and colours are my canvas to play with.
      What are the key elements of your role?
      As the founder and creative director, I am involved in every aspect of the brand. I work closely with my team on designing the collections, branding, and content creation, overseeing production, managing business operations, and ensuring that our brand vision is consistently represented.
      Talk us through your daily routine.
      I start my morning by waking up and drinking lemon water with sea salt. Then, I practice mindfulness and write half a page of notes in my notebook. After that, I get my daily coffee from a place around the corner and walk to the office, which is just a five-minute walk from my home. I love that I can walk to work. No day is the same in the office, and since I travel a lot for work, I try to savour the moments when I’m there. I begin the day with meetings with my team, including content brainstorms and planning sessions, working on new designs, and doing research for upcoming collections. In between, I walk my dogs, which is the perfect excuse to go outside and get some fresh air. To wind down, I love to cook if I have time, take a yin yoga class, read a book before bed, and go to bed early to prepare for the next day.
      What are some of the pieces the brand sells?
      Wandler is known for its high-quality Italian-made handbags, bold in shape and colour, each named after people who inspire me, including family and friends. The Hortensia bag, named after my mother-in-law in honour of her, is the first and most recognizable shape for the brand. It gained recognition when Lady Gaga wore it during Pride, it was just 3 months after launching the brand in stores. That was an insane moment. Other popular styles include the Carly Mini, named after my best friend in high school, and the Georgia, named after stylist and friend Georgia Tall. These two styles will be reintroduced in THE OUTNET capsule, which I am very excited about. Handbags are the core of our business, but we have also expanded into the footwear category. The most popular style in this category is the Isa family, which has been worn by celebrities like Gigi and Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber, and Beyoncé.
      What advice do you have for anyone looking to follow in the same footsteps?
      My advice would be to stay true to your vision and not be afraid to take risks. The fashion industry is very competitive, so it’s important to differentiate yourself and offer something unique. Also, be prepared to work hard and stay resilient, as there will be challenges along the way.
      What is the best piece of advice you ever received? And what is the worst?
      The best piece of advice I ever received was to trust my instincts and believe in my creative vision. On the other hand, the worst advice was to play it safe and stick to conventional designs. Authenticity and creativity are what drive the fashion industry forward.
      What has been the biggest challenge you had to overcome?
      One of the biggest challenges was establishing the brand in a crowded market. It took a lot of persistence and hard work to get our name out there and build a loyal customer base. Managing the rapid growth of the company while maintaining our quality and vision has been a challenge, but it’s also very rewarding if you keep fighting for the best outcome possible. In the end, my drive to create my own world is the reason why I do this, and that passion has helped me overcome many obstacles along the way.

      How does it feel to have launched on THE OUTNET – tell us more.
      It feels incredible to have launched on THE OUTNET. This partnership allows us to bring our beloved styles back to life and offer them to a wider audience. THE OUTNET’s platform gives customers the freedom to explore and appreciate our designs at their own pace. I’m thrilled to see our archived styles reimagined in new colours and to continue our commitment to sustainability by utilizing stock leather. We’re excited about the opportunities this collaboration brings.
      What are your goals for the future?
      Looking ahead, we aim to continue growing the brand while staying true to our core values of quality, craftsmanship, and with a strong emphasis on colour. Accessories will always be at the core of what we do, but we want to continue to build the Wandler world beyond that. We envision crossovers with interior design and the art world, something I can’t wait to explore more in the coming years.
