What is a Dietitian?
Wollongong Dietitians use food as medicine!
When it comes to food and nutrition, dietitians are the trained experts. Dietitians help treat and manage a wide range of conditions and their side effects including Autism and fussy eating, Peg feeding, texture-modified diets related to muscle wastage and choking risk, diabetes, heart disease, cancers, gastrointestinal diseases, food allergies and intolerances, disordered eating and obesity.
Many people think of an accredited practising dietitian as someone who simply helps with weight loss, but this is not the case at all! Dietitians provide services and expert advice on nutrition and healthy eating habits for people of all ages, in all stages of health.
With extensive experience in a range of conditions, as well as a special understanding when it comes to people living with a disability, our NDIS-registered dietitians provide real and reliable advice. We will equip you and your support people with the knowledge and skills to take control of your own health.
We like to think of our dietitians as nutritional scientists, who translate scientific research into practical advice with a focus on real, whole foods.
Active Ability’s clinical dietitians see clients throughout Ryde, Sydney’s Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, and Southwest Sydney as well as Sutherland Shire, Parramatta City, Blacktown City, Wollongong, and The Hills Shire.
