ABOUT US

Passionate Practitioners
Experts in a range of nutritional disorders and dietary intolerances. We are passionate dietitians raising awareness and improving the quality of life for people with malnutrition, enteral nutrition, orthopaedics, dialysis, neurology & stroke, aged care, diabetes, IBS, food intolerances, coeliac disease and gut conditions more broadly. The Guts of the Matter
A h

ealthy digestive tract is essential for a healthy and happy life. Unfortunately, many of us with IBS suffer in silence and just put up with a range of gut problems caused by FODMAPs like bloating through to constipation and diarrhoea. We are highly qualified nutritionists that work with you to fix your gut problems and get on with life. Weight Management
Managing IBS is as important as a FODMAP diet and exercise to achieve successful weight loss. You can exercise as much as you like, but if you are not eating for gut health, you will not receive the full benefit of weight loss. Our nutritionists can educate you on ways to incorporate gut-healthy eating and exercise into your lifestyle and create an individualised plan to achieve your goals.

A new paper that has just come out in JAMA suggesting bariatric surgery is more effective than lifestyle to improve BGL control in T2DM, after 7&12 years. Have a read and see how it fits w/ your own philosophy on weight management to achieve improved patient outcomes. From my perspective I work in the lifestyle space and my training is again lifestyle focused. Does this evidence suggest to advocate for a surgical solution to a metabolic disease?
I'll let you ponder!
