An accredited practising dietitian (APD) has undertaken a university degree and has a unique skill set and food knowledge to help you understand the relationship between food and health and make dietary choices that will help you achieve your goals.

 

They have qualifications to help treat diseases and conditions such as diabetes, overweight, heart disease and gastro-intestinal diseases. Evidence shows that nutritional intervention can significantly improve patient outcomes and improved quality of life. Timely interventions by a dietitian can help reduce the risk of developing a chronic disease.

 

APD's must engage in an ongoing professional development program to ensure they are up to date with the latest research and comply with DAA's guidelines for best practice.

 

A personal one-to-one consultation with an APD will assist you in making informed decisions and create a customised plan to fit in with your lifestyle.

 

They will:

 

• Assess your individual dietary needs

​

• Discuss your current condition and the effect of diet

​

• Develop a personalised eating plan

​

• Sort out fact and fiction

 

• Provide encouragement and support
