Frequently asked questions
I'm already seeing a health professional - can you still help me?
Absolutely! I can work alongside your GP, specialist or another allied health professional. It's important that I know what other care you are receiving, any diagnosed medical conditions, and any medications you are on.
Addressing issues such as your metabolic health through methods like Metabolic Balance® can have positive knock-on effects across the whole body, and different ailments.
What can you help with?
I can support you through a number of conditions and challenges including metabolic health (think cardiovascular issues like hypertension, diabetes, healthy weight, cholesterol), ADHD, perimenopause, gut health, inflammation and many others. I have undertaken further training in functional pathology and supporting people on GLP-1s (weight loss medications). Food as medicine can help the whole body to function better.
What is a Clinical Nutritionist anyway?
A Clinical Nutritionist is a degree-qualified allied health professional who has undertaken training in human pathophysiology and hundreds of hours of clinical training with clients. We work to optimise health and to help remediate disease states and do this through assessing people's nutritional needs, and developing customised nutrition plans such as dietary modification and supplementation. We work on a first principles basis addressing the root cause of illness.

Do you treat kids?
Yes, I treat children from age 8 and up. Most of the beautiful children I work with have ADHD and/or autism or display similar traits. The things we work on range from focus and attention in school, sleep, eating while medications are taking hunger away or children are too busy to eat during the day. If testing is required, there are non-invasive tests e.g. gut microbiome (poo) tests or hair tissue mineral analysis if needed for sensitive children.
