Welcome to Wellness by Nena

Hi and welcome. I am Dr. Snezana "Nena" Stefanovic, a certified nutrition coach, biochemist, mom of three, and the creator of Nena's Wellness Corner. I help busy families eat real, simple, and nourishing food. My goal is to make healthy eating easy to follow without stress or complicated rules. Start by checking out my clean eating for beginners guide.

I believe food should give you energy and help you feel good while still tasting delicious. My recipes and tips come from the Mediterranean and Balkan meals I make for my own family. Everything I share is focused on clean eating, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and simple habits that work for busy lives. Learn more about the anti-inflammatory diet lifestyle.

What You Will Find Here

This site is a resource for anyone who wants practical cooking guidance and healthy recipes backed by education and experience. You will discover:

✅ Mediterranean and Balkan inspired meals that use whole food ingredients and simple preparation steps. All recipes are tested in my own kitchen and designed for families who want to eat better without spending hours cooking.

✅ High protein and anti-inflammatory meals that support balanced energy, healthy metabolism, and healthy aging. I focus on simple clean ingredients and nutrient density so that every meal leaves you feeling satisfied and energized.

✅ Meal plans and practical nutrition tips: simple weekly plans, helpful shopping lists, and guidance you can follow even on your busiest days. I share advice that aligns with current nutrition science and my own life as a mom feeding three young eaters and two young athletes. Feel free to explore my freebie library.

Real Experience and Education

My background in biochemistry and nutrition coaching allows me to translate complex information into everyday language. Everything I publish reflects both my scientific training and the real life habits I use at home.
