The benefits of dietetics
Dietetics can help you manage your health with nutrition advice tailored to your individual circumstances. By working with a dietitian you can get the support you need to manage a chronic disease - such as diabetes, high cholesterol, digestive disorders, anaemia, heart disease and cancer - or guidance on navigating food allergies and weight gain.
Dietetics is about removing barriers to a healthy diet and establishing new habits around diet and eating. A dietitian is with you on this journey so you don’t have to go it alone. There is a lot of emotion around diet and nutrition so having someone to hold you accountable to your goals is very powerful.
Dietetics takes you beyond fad or popular diets to make lasting change with tailored nutritional plans.

What to expect from your first appointment
Your first appointment with Amanda is very much about understanding your personal needs so she can tailor a plan to your individual needs.
She will start by discussing the reason you are seeing her and then understand your dietetics goals. She will likely take your measurements and ask questions about your medical history.
From there, Amanda will formulate a nutritional plan and, if required, refer you to other specialisations that can support your progress such as personal training or counselling.

Dietetics for diabetes
Diet plays a large role in the management of diabetes so seeing a dietitian is highly recommended in conjunction with your endocrinologist’s advice.
We can develop a personalised food plan that will not only meet your nutrition requirements but will also be achievable in line with your schedule and food preferences.

Dietetics for weight loss
Fad diets are never going to deliver the same kind of sustained and manageable weight loss as dietetics can. While fad diets are designed for the masses, dietetics works on an individual level to combine evidence-based research with nutritional understanding to help you achieve your goals.
As a dietitian, Amanda can keep you accountable to your nutrition plan and your goals. She is passionate about education and ensuring you have the information you need to succeed at your weight loss.
