Hilit has an appetite for all things connected to nutrition, health, fitness, serenity and their close relationship with your mental well-being. She‘s a strong advocate of empowering people through scientifically based nutritional knowledge that can be used in both a practical and fun way. She considers mindfulness to be of utmost importance and she believes that your relationship with food and your body is a fundamental element of your health.
Hilit has years of work experience, and still works, in a top private hospital. She also runs her own private practice, Hilit Milner Dietetics. Through these she has gained a wealth of clinical experience and can truly motivate and connect with patients on a personal level.
She particularly enjoys working in the fields of Nutrigenomics (genetic testing), culinary genomics, emotional eating, nutrition in pregnancy and paediatrics, allergies as well as gastrointestinal disorders and post-surgical cases. She also works with many patients who suffer from chronic diseases of lifestyle, such as diabetes and high cholesterol, and those who need help with weight loss or gain.
Transforming her knowledge into delicious and wholesome foods in her kitchen is what really gets Hilit creatively salivating. Globetrotting, basking in nature, tasting new flavours and learning about a vast array of cultural cuisines and traditions is what fills her heart with joy and her dishes with spice.
Finding the balance in life is one of her core values. Inspiring people to do the same is her drive.

Sunrise by HM is an engaging wellness hub, where you can truly find what feeds you. It’s where topical scientifically-based dietetic information infuses with cooking, travel, culture, storytelling and all things WHOLEsome.
It is not only a platform for you to relate to the challenges encountered on your journey to cultivating a balanced healthy lifestyle, but rather a space for you to gain the recipe needed to empower and motivate you to nourish yourself.
This entails, learning how to nourish your body, mind and soul through the foods you eat, the way you move, the language with which you talk to yourself, the implementation of mindfulness and the way with which whet your mental and spiritual appetite.
It is a delicate blend of acting on your thirst for being ‘in shape’ with the ability to also stop, take a deep cleansing breath in, and steadily smell the roses along the way.
It is the decisions that we make today that determine in which state of mind, body and soul we will watch tomorrow’s sunrise.
Come on a journey of nutrition, wellness and balance with me and discover what truly feeds you…and nourish yourself to your sunrise.
