How to improve your eating habits

A Nutritionist works with their clients to improve their eating habits for their overall health and wellbeing. You may identify specific goals while working with your Nutritionist, and each client’s plan will be individual and specific to achieving those goals.

Some people consult with a Nutritionist because they would like to lose weight, or gain a leaner body composition, while others strive to eat a more satisfying and balanced diet for the longevity of their health. Athletes and sports people may consult a Nutritionist to improve their recovery or performance, while older people may ask a Nutritionist for help in supplementing their diet to help them better navigate their other health issues through food. A good nutritional education and support can benefit people in their health and wellbeing at all ages and stages of life.

What about your relationship with food?

A Nutritionist can help you work on your relationship with food to eat a satisfying, nourishing and enjoyable array of foods, while learning about the value of different food groups and nutrients. It is a Nutritionist’s role to empower their clients with this knowledge, and help break cycles of diets or restrictive eating that take an impact on a person’s mental wellbeing. A good Nutritionist understands that food has just as much impact on our mental health as it does our physical body, and works to enhance these effects for their clients through their programs.
How are Nutritionists qualified?

Evidence-based practitioners

Nutritionists are evidence-based practitioners, who work with the latest dietary research to implement action plans for their clients. While there can be some confusion when it comes to who to consult when seeking nutritional advice, you must always look for someone who is registered with the Association for Nutrition, as this ensures a good level of training and professionalism.

How does a Nutritionist differ from a Dietician?

A Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutrs) has been trained to an honours-degree level as a minimum, and is held to a strict professional code of conduct. A Nutritionist trained to this level is competent to work with individuals who have previously diagnosed medical conditions or additional concerns, such as seeking advice around weight management, body composition, or eating for good health through other conditions (such as treatment for menopause, diabetes, or other health concerns)

How do I book to see a Nutritionist?

You can book to see a Nutritionist the same way you can book to see any of the healthcare professionals at Ebrook Osteopathy and Sports Clinic! You don’t need a referral from a GP or doctor, you can simply self-refer by booking online or over the telephone with our admin team. Once you have made a booking, there will be a short pre-screening questionnaire sent to you by email, which you’ll need to complete before the date of your appointment, so that your Nutritionist can make sure that you’re accessing the most appropriate service.
