Radhika Dandeniya

Hi I'm Radhika. I am passionate consumer facing writer. I have a diploma in Journalism and became certified in Digital Marketing Content Creation.
Prior to going freelance I spent 20 years working in Magazine Journalism, Events, and Broadcast. Some of my past roles include Assistant Producer at BBC's Women's Hour, Features Editor of Asiana and Asiana Wedding magazines, Events Manager at the Foreign Press Association and Events Marketing within Unilever's Personal Care Division. I am currently helping small businesses create content for social media to increase brand awareness and drive conversions.

In my spare time, I run a dog-sitting business and manage a blogging website that covers curly haircare for South Asian women, mental health, travel and dating.
I also love solo travelling with a particular fondness for Italy - I've lived there twice and speak the language.

Insulin Resistance

Today is World Health Day 🌍💚
Let’s talk about something that quietly affects millions: Insulin Resistance.

Tired all the time?
Craving sugar non-stop?
Gaining weight around your middle?
It could be the tell tale signs of insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance happens when the body's cells become less responsive to insulin which eventually leads to an increase blood sugar levels.

It’s more common than you think—and it’s a major risk factor for conditions like:
Type 2 Diabetes
Heart Disease
Alzheimer’s
Certain Cancers

As someone with PCOS and a family history of diabetes, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to keep insulin resistance in check.

The GOOD news? It’s manageable—with the right support.

At Balance My Nutrition, I help clients take control of their health with practical, evidence-based strategies.

A Curlerful Mind •

Curls and Culture – A curlerfulmind guests on the Jo Good Show, BBC Radio London 94.9FM

Curls are the constant dread of girls. For Asians there is a pressure to nuke the hell out of our hair to achieve that glossy mane so tossed about onscreen. It is rarely talked about…that is until BBC Radio London asked me to guest on a panel discussion about hair. I jumped at the chance, wanting to address the Asian prejudices against curls. Joining me on the show were natural hair blogger Valley Fontaine and the winner of BBC2 Hair Phil Hunt.
