Weight Management
Through lifestyle modification, diet
prescription, energy intake modification, and supplement use, we help
people create a personalised plan for their weight loss.
Sports Nutrition
We can help people with correct energy intake
and fuelling, refuelling and recovery after sport, building muscle,
cutting down fat, body composition manipulation, injury recovery and
prevention, and enhanced performance.
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDS)
A common problem in some athletes is
under-eating and over-training, which leads to inadequate energy and
nutrient intakes, causing problems such as increased injury rates,
tiredness and lethargy, poor sport / exercise performance, missed
menstrual periods, recurrent illness, weight loss, and iron deficiency.
REDS is commonly diagnosed following a stress fracture.
Eating Disorders
Eating disorders commonly include anorexia
nervosa (not eating / eating very little), and bulimia nervosa
(recurrent binge-eating followed by restrictive eating / regurgitating
food).
Food Intolerances
Many stomach issues are caused by a food
intolerance, which may be due to FODMAP’s (fructose, lactose, other
specific carbohydrates). Symptoms may present as bloating, gas,
diarrhoea, constipation, stomach pain or discomfort, changes in stool,
fatigue, and tiredness.
Low FODMAP Diets
We work with people to manage their food intolerances through the low FODMAP diet.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (stomach gas, bloating, pain, discomfort, diarrhoea)
Similar to food intolerances, but may also be caused by stress, anxiety, mood, and other lifestyle factors.
Coeliac Disease
An auto-immune disease causing, most commonly,
diarrhoea. Other symptoms include bloating, wind, fatigue, low blood
count (anaemia), and osteoporosis.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
IBD includes Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative
Colitis, both characterised by chronic inflammation of the
gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms can be severe, and include abdominal
pain, diarrhoea, weight loss, fever, anaemia, and malnutrition.
Diabetes
Usually uncontrolled blood sugars. Long term
conditions that can result from uncontrolled diabetes include kidney
damage, eye problems, nerve damage, and foot problems.
High Cholesterol
Excessive intake of cholesterol, which may lead to heart attack, stroke, and heart disease.
Vegetarian / Vegan / Plant Based Nutrition
Some people following restrictive diets may
need help to get all the nutrients they require to achieve their best
health. Often people may be low in iron, calcium, or vitamin B12
following these restrictive diets. Dietary changes can easily help
people compensate.
Skin Folds and Body Composition
Skin folds are an accurate way of tracking body
fat and body compositions, especially for athletes and active
individuals. A full body composition analysis gives clients a full
overview of their body fat, muscle mass, and overall body composition.
Meal Plans
Individualised meal plans developed to achieve a
client’s personal goals, manage their health concerns, and help give
them control over their health and eating.
