James Okafor ANutr, Nutrition and Recipes Editor at MyBreezyLifeAbout James Okafor

I am James Okafor, a Registered Associate Nutritionist (AfN) and the Nutrition and Recipes Editor at MyBreezyLife. I have spent nine years translating nutrition science into practical, culturally relevant advice for UK women — cutting through the noise of fad diets and miracle foods to help people make simple, sustainable changes to how they eat.

Background and Credentials

I studied Nutrition and Dietetics at Leeds Beckett University and spent four years working within the NHS in Birmingham before moving into nutrition writing. I am registered with the Association for Nutrition (AfN) as an Associate Nutritionist, which means I follow a professional code of conduct, stay updated with the latest evidence, and am accountable for the nutritional guidance I publish. 

How I Write About Nutrition

My focus is always on evidence over trend. I write about what the research actually supports, not what is currently popular on social media. Every nutritional claim in my articles is referenced against NHS guidance, the British Dietetic Association, or peer-reviewed research. I explain the science in plain English because I believe women deserve to understand the reasoning behind dietary advice, not just be told what to eat.

Halal-Friendly Recipes for UK Families

Every recipe I publish on MyBreezyLife is halal-friendly by default. No pork, no alcohol in cooking, halal meat always specified. I grew up in a British-Nigerian household where diverse flavours and cultural cooking were simply part of daily life, and my recipes reflect the real food diversity of the UK. They are quick — under 45 minutes — family-friendly, and made with ingredients available in any UK supermarket.
