A dietitian can help you to manage your health condition by providing you with advice on improving your wellbeing using food and nutrition.
Dietetics can assist you with:
- managing your diabetes
- maintaining a healthy weight
- navigating the choices at the supermarket including label reading
- using nutrition to help with gastrointestinal problems such as irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, coeliac disease or diverticulitis
- eating well if you have heart disease
- advice on nutrition if you are a vegetarian, need to stick to a budget, have osteoporosis or just want to feel healthier.
