My Dietitian

I am an Accredited Practicing Dietitian Nutritionist (APD) with more than 30 years professional experience. I am passionate about nutrition, food and how changing what we eat and how we eat has a direct effect on our overall health and wellbeing.

Whether you have diabetes, heart disease, food intolerance or allergies, or just want to improve your health - personalised and professional nutritional advice can support you in reaching your health goals.I am also passionate about using nutrition technology to enhance the learning process, with videos, fact sheets, recipes and app technology that enhances the relationship between professional and client.

Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) are university-qualified professionals that undertake ongoing training and education programs to ensure that they are your most up-to-date and credible source of nutrition information. To become an APD in Australia, a dietitian must have graduated from an accredited Australian university dietetic courses.

Choosing foods that are as close as possible to nature - whole foods and minimally processed - is a good start to eating a healthy and balanced diet. Why not try Avocado on wholegrain toast, Grilled lemon and herb salmon + leafy green salad, Poached eggs on wholegrain toast + avocado and spinach, or by adding some flax seeds, chia seeds, avocado, or almond butter to your favourite smoothie!

Good fats are an important part of a healthy diet. They help increase good cholesterol (HDL) and decrease bad cholesterol (LDL). Food sourced mono and poly-unsaturated fats are found in avocados, extra virgin olive oil, nuts, seeds, and fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines. I blog quite often and I really appreciate your information.

Poor fat has gotten a bad rap over the last 50+ years. There used to be no difference between good fat or bad fat. And if you ate fat then you were going to be fat. So, supermarkets stocked low-fat foods that were made tasty by adding sugar. It's not surprising that obesity increased right alongside the increased popularity of low-fat foods!
