Eating Disorders
Whether you have had an eating disorder for a while or finding that your eating behaviours and thoughts around food are starting to affect your life, I can help you get back on track. We live in a crazy environment where it is really tough to tell what normal, healthy eating is. Is it following a restrictive meal plan? Is it counting calories? Is it always eating perfectly? is it avoiding gluten? It's absolutely isn't and that type of thinking isn't very helpful for our long-term physical, emotional and psychological health. Healthy eating isn't just about what we eat but is also about how we feel about food. I can help you to: Work out what normal, healthy eating is Help you to nourish your body and make sure it is getting what it needs to work Help you to overcome some of your fears and anxieties around certain foods Provide the care and support you need for success Not sure if seeing a dietitian is the right step for you but need some support? Give us a call and see if we're a good fit. Get started today by booking an appointment.
Vegetarian & Vegan
Each food group contains important nutrients so when we cut one out we need to make sure we are going to get those nutrients from somewhere else. You may be missing out on the following nutrients: Meat - protein, iron, B12, zinc, omega 3 Eggs - protein, selenium, biotin, B12 Dairy - protein, calcium, riboflavin, B12 If you are new to being a vegetarian/vegan it can be a little tough trying to work out what meals to have as Australians typically start with the meat and go from there. We use a food analysis program and work from your current dietary pattern to develop a plan to ensure that you are getting the nutrients your body needs to work. Get the right advice and book an appointment today!
Coeliac Disease
Coeliac disease is a condition where consuming gluten causes damage to the small intestine and prevents the absorption of valuable nutrients. Some people experience debilitating symptoms after eating gluten whilst others will not feel any different despite serious damage occurring in their small intestine. It's important that those with coeliac disease completely remove gluten from their diet as even a crumb can cause damage. We will teach you how to read labels for gluten-containing foods and prevent cross-contamination in your home. We will help you to prepare meals that assist the whole family and ensure that you are getting enough of key nutrients to prevent complications in the future. If you suspect that you have coeliac disease it is very important that you see a GP and get the appropriate diagnosis before restricting gluten.
