They are experts in providing 

• individual dietary counselling,

• cancer, 
• gastrointestinal disease, 
• fussy eating, 
• food allergies and intolerances,

• much more.

Avoid these Diet Problems

If you have tried the latest fad diet (raw food, paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, carb-free, 5:2, 800 cal)? Did you find the 'diet'

• hard to sustain, 
• expensive and 
• limiting? 

Did it leave you hungry and feeling restricted all the time? ​

Are you completely confused by whether or not you should be 'eating a banana' or using coconut oil?

In today's society, many people are claiming to be 'nutrition professionals' when they don't have any qualifications relating to health, science or medicine.

Dieticians & Patients With Diabetes

There is no one definitive cause of type 2 diabetes, however, we do know that it is strongly associated with modifiable lifestyle risk factors. Statistics show that 53% of the diabetes burden is due to overweight and obesity alone.

Despite its prevalence, type 2 diabetes is largely preventable. Maintaining a healthy weight through appropriate nutrition and exercise goes a long way in reducing your diabetes risk.

However, once type two diabetes has been contracted, there is no known cure. However, a well-designed exercise plan can help you manage your condition.
