NUTRITION & DIETETICS

Dietitians provide highly experienced, individualised and ongoing nutrition advice and strategies to support your nutritional health and wellbeing from birth and throughout the lifespan.

How Can a Dietitian / Nutritionist Help Me?

“Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) provide personalised nutrition advice and support. Dietitians understand how nutrition impacts the body and use this knowledge to treat a range of medical conditions. Trained in medical nutrition therapy, dietitians translate scientific nutrition information into dietary advice.” Dietitians Australia, 2021.

Maternal Nutrition (Including Breastfeeding)

Good prenatal nutrition is vital for you and your partner when trying to conceive. We can give evidence-based advice on a suitable pregnancy diet and appropriate weight gain, gestational diabetes and other pregnancy-related complications. Male fertility and nutritional support for reproductive health and recovery post birth are also services offered at Alchemy in Motion in Noosa. Optimising your postnatal energy levels, nutritional health and general wellbeing, as well as strategies for nourishing families and guidelines for safe postpartum weight loss are also services that can be provided.

Nutrition for Microbiome Health

Good gut health is the foundation for digestive, immune, mental and general health and wellbeing. There are even strong links between a healthy gut microbiome and mental health! Dietitians and nutritionists can help with advice to restore and rebalance your gut bacteria and function through pre- and probiotic foods. Advice on probiotic supplements and eating to support your microbiome is included in a nutrition consultation, and is incorporated into management strategies for gut-related illnesses.

Sports Nutrition

We aim to help active individuals and groups achieve more and enhance their performance with good nutrition. We can discuss strategies to best fuel your training and race performance and optimise hydration and recovery. Based on International guidelines and regulations, as well as scientific evidence, we can provide advice on the correct use of supplements and ergogenic aids. Dietitians can assist in sweat testing and fluid strategies, planning for travel and competition and recipe modifications.

Nutrition for General Health and Illness Management

Providing guidelines for the cornerstones of a good diet and micronutrient/supplement needs is what a dietitian excels at. Beyond this, we offer evidence-based advice for the management of:

Anemia and micronutrient deficiencies
Heart disease, cholesterol and hypertension
Osteoporosis – supporting bone mineral density and healthy ageing
Nutrition for brain health and mild cognitive impairment
Irritable Bowel syndrome (IBS) and Bowel disease (Chron’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis)
Peri-menopausal and menopause support
Nutritional adequacy with vegan, vegetarian and other unique dietary patterns
Information on preparing and choosing healthy foods, understanding food labels and eating out.
