DIETETICS

🥗 About Dietetics

A dietitian is a university-qualified health professional who specialises in nutrition, food behaviour, and medical nutrition therapy.

They help you understand how food affects your body and create a personalised eating plan to improve your health.

Our dietitian can help with:

  • Weight management
  • Diabetes (Type 1, Type 2, gestational)
  • High cholesterol
  • High blood pressure
  • Digestive conditions (IBS, bloating, reflux, constipation)
  • Food intolerances and allergies
  • Iron deficiency
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Fatty liver
  • Emotional eating and binge eating
  • Nutrition for pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Child and adolescent nutrition

Yes. We look at your lifestyle, culture, family routines, medical conditions, and personal preferences, not strict or unrealistic diets.

Where appropriate, we also take an integrated approach, working alongside our physiotherapy, naturopathy, exercise physiology, and other in-house services to support your health more comprehensively. This ensures your nutrition plan fits into your overall care, not in isolation.

🤔 What to Expect

Your dietitian will:

  1. Take the time to understand your goals and concerns
  2. Review your medical history and lifestyle
  3. Explore your current eating habits
  4. Identify what’s working well
  5. Create a personalised plan that fits your life
  6. Provide simple, practical steps you can start straight away

No, dietetics is much more than a meal plan. You’ll receive guidance, education, and ongoing support to create sustainable habits, not short-term diet “fixes.”

Depending on the reason for the visit, your dietitian will guide you on how often and how many times you need to be seen to keep your progress on track.
