Nutrition
Our experienced Nutritionist carries out an in-depth assessment of your current nutritional intake and provides you with a nutrition summary and the appropriate resources for your needs such as personal nutritional goals, lifestyle factors, food preferences and budget.
Generally two appointments are required for assessment and programming, although on-going follow up is available for continued monitoring, adjustment of diet and on-going support when needed.
