Personalised Nutrition for Gut Health, Weight and Chronic Health Conditions
Whether you’re struggling with digestive symptoms, looking for support with your weight, or managing a chronic health condition, nutrition advice should be practical, personalised and relevant to your life.
At Edible Health, I provide evidence-based nutrition support to help you understand what will make a difference for your health, without unnecessary restriction or complicated rules.
I have a particular interest in IBS and digestive health, alongside weight management, metabolic health and nutrition support for chronic health conditions.
Consultations are available face-to-face in Perth and via Telehealth.
IBS & Digestive Health
Living with IBS or ongoing digestive symptoms can make it difficult to know what to eat. You may have already tried cutting out foods, supplements, probiotics or a low FODMAP diet, but still aren’t sure what is triggering your symptoms or what you can comfortably eat.
I can help with:
- IBS and ongoing digestive symptoms
- Bloating, abdominal pain and excessive gas
- Diarrhoea, constipation and unpredictable bowel habits
- Reflux
- Food intolerances and identifying possible food triggers
- Low FODMAP diets and food reintroduction, when appropriate
- Improving fibre intake and bowel regularity
- Understanding how meal patterns, stress, sleep and lifestyle can influence gut symptoms
The aim is to help you better manage your symptoms, understand your individual triggers and eat with greater variety and confidence.
Weight Management
Managing your weight can become more difficult with changes in life stage, hormones, health, medications, stress and everyday routines. You may have tried different diets or approaches in the past but found them difficult to maintain long term.
I can help with:
- Sustainable weight management
- Weight changes during perimenopause and menopause
- Managing appetite, portions and eating patterns
- Building regular, balanced meals
- Improving protein, fibre and overall nutrition
- Developing practical strategies that fit your lifestyle
- Nutrition support while using weight-loss medications
The focus is on realistic, sustainable changes that support your health without rigid diets or unnecessary food restriction.
Nutrition Support with Weight-Loss Medications
If you are using a weight-loss medication such as Mounjaro or Wegovy, good nutrition remains an important part of supporting your health and weight-management goals.
I can help with:
- Eating well when your appetite is reduced
- Getting enough protein to help maintain muscle
- Meeting your fibre and nutritional needs
- Managing common digestive side effects
- Establishing regular, balanced eating patterns
- Making practical food choices when you don’t feel like eating
- Developing sustainable eating habits for the longer term
Nutrition support works alongside your medical care, with medication prescribing and dosing managed by your doctor or prescribing health professional.
Chronic Health Conditions & General Nutrition
You may have been referred by your GP, recently received results showing changes in your blood glucose or cholesterol, or simply want to improve your nutrition and support your health as you get older.
I can help with:
- Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes
- High cholesterol and cardiovascular health
- High blood pressure
- Osteoporosis and bone health
- Women’s health
- Healthy ageing
- Improving overall diet quality
- Building regular, balanced eating patterns
- Understanding what to eat following a new diagnosis
Recommendations are personalised to your health, food preferences and lifestyle, with a focus on practical changes that are realistic and manageable for you.
A Personalised Approach
There isn’t one perfect diet that works for everyone.
Rather than giving you a long list of foods you should and shouldn’t eat, we’ll look at the bigger picture and identify the changes that are most likely to make a difference for you.
Depending on your needs, we may look at:
- What and how you are currently eating
- Meal timing and eating patterns
- Protein, fibre and nutritional adequacy
- Digestive symptoms and food triggers
- Your relationship with food
- Sleep and stress
- Movement and activity
- Your medical history, medications and pathology results
We’ll then prioritise practical changes that are manageable for you and build on them over time.
What to Expect
Initial Consultation
Your first appointment is a 1 hour appointment which gives us time to understand your health, symptoms, eating patterns, lifestyle and what you would like help with.
We’ll identify your main priorities and develop a practical nutrition plan to get you started.
Review Consultations
Review appointments are 30 mins and gives us the opportunity to see what is working, address any difficulties, assess your progress and adjust your plan as needed.
For many people, the first review is useful approximately 2–3 weeks after the initial consultation, although this will depend on your individual needs.
