NUTRITION
Nutrition is crucial to the health of an individual. It can be used as "medicine" to help with recovery from disease, to decrease the likelihood of developing certain medical conditions, used for weight management and to assist with changes associated with aging.
During a nutritional consult a health professional with a Bachelor of Health Science (Nutritional and Dietetic Medicine) will take a comprehensive and holistic case history. You will be asked questions about your current medical history, your health history, family medical history, stress levels, energy levels and undertake a dietary assessment. All of this information provides a complete picture for your practitioner and allows for the design of an individual treatment plan, incorporating dietary and lifestyle consideration for you to implement in everyday life.
A referral from a general practitioner (regular doctor) is not required for nutrition services. Private health fund rebates may be available depending on your level of cover.
