Our Mission
Knowledge that invites thoughtful questions.
At Nutrition with Ayah, we believe scientific knowledge should be accessible, understandable, and open to thoughtful questions. What began as a platform for nutrition education has grown into a space for exploring science, health, and the relationship between scientific knowledge and the communities it serves.
Through educational initiatives and conversations with experts, we aim to encourage curiosity, strengthen scientific literacy, and make complex subjects more approachable.

A Muslim woman helping Muslim women better understand their health
My name is Ayah Yanes. My background is in nutrition, dietetics, biology, and public health.
I completed my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Food with a concentration in Dietetics and a minor in Biological Sciences in May 2026, and I am currently an MSPH student in Human Nutrition–Dietetics at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
I created Nutrition with Ayah and Amanah Health Academy after seeing how many Muslim women were trying to care for their health while surrounded by confusing, conflicting, or culturally disconnected information.
My academic foundation is in nutrition, and Amanah has grown into a broader health education space for Muslim women, covering nutrition, digestion, menstrual health, fertility, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight management, and more.
My goal is to make evidence-based health education easier to understand and more relevant to Muslim women, while being honest about the limits of what education can and cannot provide.
Amanah is also shaped by my commitment to Islamic principles and an Athari approach to aqeedah.
