Registered Dietitian, MDA S2017-002

Nutrition is personal. So is the reason I chose it.

Registered dietitian, certified diabetes educator and founder of Home Dietitians. Eight years turning clinical nutrition into decisions people can act on.

Where It Began

Before nutrition became my profession, it was already part of my family’s story.

Jaceme grew up in Malacca, and her path into dietetics did not begin in a lecture hall. It began at home, in the everyday reality of food, health and family.

Awaiting Jaceme’s input: the personal turning point, the family health experience that shaped her direction, and why dietetics felt meaningful rather than merely practical. This chapter will be written in her own words.

A career built one patient, one company, one conversation at a time.

The Personal Wake-Up

Awaiting Jaceme’s input: the moment health stopped being abstract. This opening chapter carries the emotional weight of the whole timeline and will not be invented on her behalf.

Becoming a Dietitian

Jaceme trained in dietetics and registered with the Malaysian Dietitians Association under registration MDA S2017-002. She later built on that clinical base with a professional portfolio in nutritional medicine at University College of Yayasan Pahang, certification as a diabetes educator with the International Diabetes Federation, and SCOPE certification from the World Obesity Federation.

Working With Patients

Across more than eight years of one-to-one consultations, her clinical work has centred on diabetes, kidney disease, cancer nutrition and weight management. Consulting in English, Mandarin and Bahasa Malaysia, she learned the discipline that defines her work today: advice only matters if the person in front of you can actually live with it.

Building Home Dietitians

In 2023 she founded Home Dietitian Consultancy Sdn Bhd, better known as Home Dietitians, to bring registered dietitian care out of the hospital and into everyday life. The practice sees clients at its clinic in Mutiara Damansara, Petaling Jaya, and online across Malaysia.

Expanding Into HDC Medical

Consultation was never the whole picture. As co-founder of HDC Medical, Jaceme extends the work into blood tests and health screening, functional medicine assessment with customised nutraceutical support, and HRD Corp claimable corporate wellness programmes, delivered with doctors, pharmacists and fellow dietitians from the same clinic in Mutiara Damansara. Home Dietitians helps people act on their health; HDC Medical helps them see it clearly first.

Educating Companies and Communities

As an HRD Corp accredited trainer, Jaceme delivers corporate wellness programmes on diabetes management, cholesterol and cardiovascular health, hypertension, weight management and chronic disease prevention. Her public health voice has reached national audiences through 8TV, Ai FM and BFM.

The Next Chapter

The mission has not changed since the beginning: help people understand what is happening inside their bodies, and give them a practical way to act on it. The next chapter is about doing that at greater scale, through education, partnerships and public speaking.

What I believe

Health advice should be understandable.

Nutrition should fit real life.

People should understand their numbers, not fear them.

Prevention should begin before a diagnosis.

Good healthcare should guide people, not overwhelm them.

The work, measured in people.

Twelve kilograms in ten weeks, no shortcuts

Situation

Outcome
