A lot of eating behaviors make more sense when you look at when they happen, not just what is being eaten. The end of the day carries its own cues — fewer demands, more comfort, and learned routines that signal it’s time to switch off. If this is something you’d like support unpacking, appointments with our fantastic dietitians are available to book online at the link in bio, or by calling Ward Nutrition on 5343 919

Dietitians Australia acknowledges today’s announcement to list Wegovy on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) for people living with established cardiovascular disease and obesity.

The PBAC has recommended that semaglutide be subsidised through the PBS for people who have already experienced a cardiovascular event such as a heart attack, stroke or have symptomatic peripheral arterial disease.

The recommendation determined that PBS funded access to the medicine will be limited to people with a BMI of 35 kg/m² or higher, or 32.5 kg/m² or higher for people of Asian, Aboriginal, or Torres Strait Islander ethnicity.

We welcome the acknowledgement by the PBAC on the need to improve access to non-pharmacological interventions, such as diet and physical activity support.

We know people can benefit significantly from GLP-1 medicines when they are appropriately prescribed and supported by a dietitian.

Wherever a prescription is given, access to evidence-based nutrition care must come with it before, during and after treatment to protect health and support sustainable outcomes.

Dietitians Australia continues to call for fair and equitable access to comprehensive multidisciplinary care for anyone prescribed weight loss medicines.

Do dietitians eat sweets? 🍭 🍬 🍫 🍦
The short answer is absolutely! Check out Nadia’s pantry - it’s full of them. A lot of people think dietitians are judgy or are the food police but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Working on your relationship with food takes time and commitment - maybe this is something worth addressing next year? Book in with any one of our fabulous dietitians if you’re ready to take that step.
