ABOUT DIETITIAN APPOINTMENTS
MY APPROACH
Having a healthy relationship with food is just as important as what you eat
Food should be an enjoyable part of your life
Choices should be influenced by your internal signals of hunger, fullness, and satisfaction
You should be empowered to understand the relationship between any medical condition that you have and the foods that help or hinder it
There are no "good" or "bad" foods and all foods can fit into a healthy diet
Everyone is different and that there is not one perfect nutrition answer
The best dietary pattern is one that you can follow for your whole life and we work with you to find out what that is for you
Are you ready to get off the diet merry-go-round and find a way of eating that suits you?
WHY SEE A DIETITIAN
BIGGEST BANG FOR BUCK
We'll talk to you about strategies that are going to lead to the most gain for the least pain. It's also negotiable. Are there foods you can't live without? We can help to develop a healthy, nutritious and enjoyable diet with the foods you love.
IT WORKS
Dietitians know that the advice that they provide works because it's based on the latest scientific evidence and we see results.
IT'S ABOUT YOU
Everyone is different so we don't provide a one size fits all approach. We perform a thorough initial assessment so we get to know about you before we develop a plan together.
WE CONSIDER ALL THE FACTORS
If you have a combination of different medical conditions we can help you to understand how they are impacted by your diet and work out the best way to manage them.
YOU'RE IN THE LOOP
Do you ever leave a consult and feel like your not sure what you're supposed to do? We make sure you understand what you need to know and provide email support if you have any questions along the way.
WE GIVE YOU ALL THE INFORMATION
There are no tricks to make sure you keep coming back or any ongoing fees. We aim to teach you how to be in control of your own health.
Whatever you're going through, now is the best time to improve your health!
