We take pride in offering individualized support for every single client we see. We will listen to what you have been through, where you're at now, and what advice and guidance you need to get where you're going with your diet, eating and lifestyle habits. Gut issues: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), food intolerances, FODMAPs, abnormal bowel habits, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Coeliac disease.
It can be daunting when your doctor announces that you have Diabetes, or are on the way there (Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance)! Making changes to your diet is an important part of managing and possibly reversing these conditions. Many people with PCOS also have Insulin Resistance, so many of the dietary recommendations are similar.
From Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), food intolerances, FODMAPs, abnormal bowel habits, to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and diverticular disease. Whether your test results reveal a diagnosable gut condition or they've come back negative - we know how frustrating gut conditions can be. There are so many wonder cures for gut issues on the internet these days - but they all tell you to do different things!
If you've recently been diagnosed with Coeliac Disease or a food allergy, it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out what to and what not to eat. Let our dietitians help you come up with a plan.
If you have coeliac disease, removing gluten from your diet is very important to not only improve any gut symptoms you may be experiencing, but also reduce your risk in the future of damage to your gut, poor health and certain diseases including some types of cancer.

My experience with Newtown Nutrition has been incredible. Amber has been amazing in helping me with my nutritional needs. It was fantastic to find a company that is so knowledgable and truly understands the dietary requirements of someone who not only has a plant based diet but also has an autoimmune disease. My consultations were friendly and very informative, followed by an email summary of the topics discussed along with useful links. There is so much information on the internet about diet and health conditions that I have tried to follow in the past few years (much of it is confusing and conflicting

Have achieved my goals with the help of Stephanie. Great practical advice and help. Consultations focused on how I could achieve my goals in a reasonable amount of time and how to change less healthy habits into healthy ones. Very happy with the results. Now much more mindful of what to eat and how to best adapt my lifestyle to maintaining the results.

I went to a dietician for some tips on lowering cholesterol and am so surprised at how much I have learnt about food and eating. Dana has been amazing in helping transform my eating and most importantly lowering my cholesterol. Each fortnight small realistic changes were made to the way I eat. I’m very grateful that I decided to go to Newtown Nutrition as I have lowered my cholesterol without medication and feel empowered that the changes made are now part of my lifestyle.

I'd easily recommend Dana and Newtown Nutrition for anyone who's on a plant based diet and is looking to make sure they're getting all of their nutrients.
Dana and the team at Newtown Nutrition are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I have been plant based for close to two years and have always struggled maintaining my iron levels but have seen noticeable improvement in my iron and energy levels with Dana's help and expertise.

Amber and Amy are amazing! Prior to seeing Amber, I had been on a plant based diet for 1 year and I had no idea what my body needed. With Ambers education/guidance I have been able to maintain my nutritional needs and goals. I also saw Amy, who helped clear up my IBS. Both Amber and Amy, are extremely knowledgeable, kind and very patient. I highly recommend them!

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in June. I started seeing Dana at Newtown Nutrition as I wanted to reverse my diagnosis with diet and exercise. She has helped immensely, with honest and factual information regarding healthy food choices, carb intake/exchanges, portion sizes, balancing fats, and what you need to put in, to get the best out. I've lost 10kg since we started, and my blood sugars are near normal. Highly recommended.

The Team at Newtown Nutrition are amazing! I worked with Dana on creating a plant based diet that targeted some of the nutrients I was missing out on. The practical tips along with the great knowledge base have made eating plant -based easy as well as nutritious. The individual sessions are great way to learn and I would recommend it to anyone who keen to find out more about eating well!

Amber from Newtown Nutrition has been so so integral to helping me reach my nutrition goals. She is so caring, calm and super knowledgeable about the vegan diet, and made everything connect and make sense in an easy to comprehend way. I feel so much better since our first session, and can’t thank her enough. Will keep checking in with her for the rest of my vegan journey and would highly recommended Amber and Newtown Nutrition for anyone looking for guidance!

Cannot recommend Amy and the team highly enough. I had been experiencing symptoms of bad gut health for over a year without realising, and within a few consultations with Amy, we had gone through the FODMAP diet, and I feel like a new person.
Amy and Sarah are both kind and compassionate, and were able to help me work through things easily. I'm very grateful, and would recommend them to anyone!

I have been working with the NN team for about 8 months now and have been very happy. I see Amy regularly, who is amazing, but have also had appointments with other team members who have also been very good. It's easy to book an appointment and they offer good value packages. I've made use of both face to face and online appointments, which have been seamless. Highly recommend!
