New Leaf Dietetics

06/09/2025

The last two weeks have been busy with professional development. The New Leaf team are always upskilling to make sure we are giving our clients the best care and up to date advice. The three of us completed a two day course on Evidence Based Management of Eating Disorders this week, and have immediate capacity to take on new clients in this space.

Eating disorders can occur at any age, and peri- menopause is a higher risk time as our body goes through various changes. Sarah has recently completed professional development in nutrition for peri and post menopause and attended the ANZAED conference learning more about meal plans in eating disorder management and the management of longstanding anorexia.

Recently, Amanda has also attended a gut health symposium and Imogen has completed a sports nutrition course. We have a well rounded team to help you achieve your goals in various ways.

Mental health and nutrition is a space that I love working in! I have experience working with people who have depression, anxiety, PTSD and schizophrenia. Through dietary support and intervention these people can really see a positive change in their quality of life. It would be great if Accredited Practising Dietitians were included in mental health care plans. Until then though, if you or someone you know would like help to improve your mental health through nutrition, please give me a call, 0402 457 474.

We know healthy food is good for our body, but evidence shows it's good for our mind too, and the peak body for dietetics in Australia wants nutrition help to be covered by Medicare in mental health plans.

The theme for Dietitians Week 2022 is , showcasing the numerous ways Dietitians improve the lives of those in our community. Since I became an Accredited Practising Dietitian, I’ve improved the lives of many across numerous settings. I’ve worked in remote communities with Aboriginal Health Centres, aged care, home visits and medical centres.

Why I love being an Accredited Practising Dietitian.

Food is our fuel. We all need to eat each day to survive and be healthy, but we also eat because food tastes good, to be social and for comfort. As a chef and dietitian, I truly love food and value the experiences we can have with food as well as how it can help us be healthy and perform in all areas of our life. I love seeing my clients achieving their health goals and improving their life through food. That could be losing weight, gaining weight, improving cholesterol, diabetes management blood pressure, mood, bowels and finding healthier ways to manage stress and pain. I love hearing the excitement in my clients’ voices and seeing it on their faces as they tell me about the progress they’ve made from implementing my recommendations and how this has improved their life. How they are now able to move around their house more easily, are motivated to cook or socialise after avoiding it or being able to leave the house without worrying about where the closest loo is, just to name a few.

I hope all my fellow Dietitians have had a fabulous week!

Physical and mental health are intertwined, so seeing a dietitian can improve your mood, as well as any lifestyle related health condition you may be experiencing. Eating well can improve your concentration, sleep, and stress management. A dietitian can help highlight the missing link.

Share and help me raise awareness about how .

Dietitians know that the same approach won’t suit everyone - sometimes taking the focus off the scales is the key to being comfortable in yourself. Dietitians use evidence based approaches to help manage weight safely and effectively. From helping you set realistic goals, to supporting you to explore your relationship with food– a dietitian can help you build the confidence to live your best life.
