Pregnancy Support
Nutrition during pregnancy supports the health and growth of both the mother and baby. Typical nutrition requirements increase during gestation and during breastfeeding, a dietitian can help with practical ideas to meet these needs whilst also considering symptom management.
​
A dietitian can also help to support gestational diabetes through nutrition education regarding carbohydrate intake and distribution throughout the day to effectively manage blood sugar levels.
​
Whether you need help managing morning sickness, gestational diabetes or focusing on key nutrients, expert advice ensures a healthy journey from bump to birth.
​​​​
​
Chronic Disease
Management
Chronic diseases can include diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, PCOS, insulin resistance and many more. Dietitian's use targeted nutrition strategies to help prevent, manage and improve conditions such as these.
​
They work closely with individuals to create sustainable nutrition strategies that support medical treatments, reduce and manage symptoms and enhance quality of life - educating individuals on how to implement these changes rather than adhering to a one size fits all approach.
