Maye Musk Dietitian

Musk has two master’s degrees, one in nutritional science and the other in dietetics. She made a successful dietitian practice in South Africa and then rebuilt her career after moving to Canada in her 40s. Being a dietitian provided her with a stable career when modeling work was slow.

She put on weight in her 30s, and in the 1990s she was able to shed about 50 pounds by refocusing on healthier food choices like yogurt, vegetables, and legumes. However, she’s been upfront about how hard it is to maintain her weight, especially because she has a sweet tooth and is tempted by treats such as chocolate and sticky toffee pudding.
