Conditions We Manage
Chronic Diseases
Chronic diseases, such as heart disease, liver disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoporosis, and arthritis, are a leading cause of disability and death around the world. Nutrition has a significant impact on many chronic diseases and conditions.
Weight Management
Achieving a healthy weight can be confusing. We provide individualised plans to support your weight management goals by educating you on portion control, meal planning, behaviour modification, and sustainable and realistic lifestyle changes. We can also provide support for weight loss surgery (bariatric surgery) by offering pre- and post-operative.
Gut Health
Improving your gut health is one of the most effective ways to enhance your overall wellbeing. We can help you with diverticulosis/diverticulitis, coeliac disease, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and food allergies and intolerances.
Children‘s Health
Good nutrition is essential during childhood. We can help address issues such as picky eating, failure to thrive, food allergies, and childhood obesity, while promoting healthy growth and development.
Women's Health & Fertility
Nutrition plays an important role because in balancing of our hormones. Conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, adenomyosis and thyroid disorders can benefit from dietary interventions to improve symptoms. Optimal nutrition is also vital to support fertility and pre-conception, pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Aged Care
