Vitality Holistic Nutrition Holistic Nutritionist providing women with nutritional support through all of life's stages

I’m Carmelle Robinson, Holistic Nutritionist with a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutritional Medicine – so you bet I know the body inside and out! I’m in love with the process of natural medicine because I help patients get to the root cause of their problems. I don’t just treat symptoms (that’s called a band-aid fix), I get down to the core issue of your symptoms and treat them accordingly. This is the most effective way to manage health conditions, for long term benefits. As a Holistic Nutritionist I look at all aspects of your health, not just diet and exercise, in order to gain a proper understanding of your health. Your health is my puzzle, and in order to put all of the pieces together, I ask a lot of questions about a broad range of topics including digestion, sleep, hormones, work, stress etc. Because health is individual, it is not generic – you are not the same as everybody else, you are your own person. This is why I treat everyone as an individual, and come up with a health plan to suit your specific needs. After a few years of practicing and helping a range of patients, I found my passion in women’s health. Women are often dismissed & overlooked when they present their concerns to their medical practitioners. I quickly realised that nutrition is an effective way to help support women’s health and as a result, have many happy women leaving my office.

Let me show you why I'm different.

Let me share my passion and knowledge with you.

I’m a Nutritionist with a holistic approach, the time to listen and knowledge that goes above & beyond the food pyramid.

Let me show you how to choose health and not diets. How to nourish not only your body, but your soul.

Let me submerge you in the power of holistic nutrition.

If you’re a mum feeling pressured to start a January challenge to “undo” the holidays - I see you.

But here’s the part no one talks about: mums don’t get a clean slate in January. You’re parenting through the holidays, then school goes back and many mums go straight back to work, or continue to work through the holidays.

So the “fresh start” idea? Often it’s just… hype.

And can we please stop with the “we all have the same 24 hours”?

Some of us are up all night with kids.
Some of us are working, studying, and running the house.
Some of us are caring for ageing parents.
Some of us are driving kids to sport, activities, or part time jobs.
And some of us are doing it all without a village.

So instead of a plan that only works when life is calm & consistent (which is rare), let’s do micro-anchors that fit inside real life.

If you want support choosing the simplest next step (based on your energy, iron status, sleep, hormones & schedule), book a free 10-minute Discovery Call for 2026 by calling 51 74 22 69.

As the year wraps up, I just want to say thank you 💚

Thank you for your patience, your understanding and your flexibility while I’ve been juggling uni, work, business, life and small humans who have absolutely no understanding of real life 😅 It has not gone unnoticed.

Thank you for choosing me to support you with your health. That trust means more than I can put into words, especially when you’re letting me into the very real, very tender parts of your life as women and mothers.

Thank you for showing up when life was messy. For asking thoughtful questions.
For sticking with the basics, even when they felt boring and trusting that the boring stuff is usually what works best.

Supporting you this year has been a genuine privilege.

I’m so grateful for this community, for the honesty, the laughs, the ups, the downs, the TMI “can I show you a photo of my p**p or is that too weird?” (PS. no it's not too weird 😅 ) and the reminder that health care should feel human, supportive and grounded in real life.

Here’s to more nourishment, less pressure and a steadier, kinder approach to health moving forward ✨

Thank you for being here.

Carmelle 💚

If resolutions make you feel like you’re either “nailing it” or “failing”… you’re not alone. They’re usually rigid, unrealistic, and designed for a life you’re not living.

So for 2026, we’re doing simple, realistic intentions instead: small actions that support energy, real life and sanity.

If you want personalised support (especially if you’ve been stuck in the restart cycle for years), book a free 10-minute Discovery Call via the link in bio and we’ll map out your next best step.

💚 2025 recap 💚

This year reminded me why I love this work.

I showed up for women navigating hormones, exhaustion, motherhood and all the in between stuff that often gets brushed off or minimised.

I talked a lot about nourishment, energy, iron and listening to your body — not because it’s trendy, but because it genuinely helps women feel better in their day to day lives.

Behind the scenes, I kept learning and growing, always with one goal in mind: offering better, more thoughtful, in depth care for women who deserve to feel their best.

I’m proud I stayed steady in a very noisy space, trusted my training and didn’t get pulled into trends that don’t actually serve women.

Meaningful health care starts with listening to women and when women are listened to, good things happen (for them and the people around them).

Many of you know I’m continuing my studies to better support the women of Gippsland. It’s a long journey, but one I’m excited about - even though I have quadrupled the chaos in my house 😅

Thank you for being here and trusting me with your health 💚

Dear Santa, we aren't asking for much.

Less stuff.

More energy.

More time to sit down and actually rest.

And maybe a spa day where we don't have to organise the logistics of a babysitter?? Please and thank you.

✨ Christmas & New Year Hours ✨

I’ll be taking a well deserved break over the festive season to slow down, reset my nervous system and spend quality time with my family 💚

📅 Last office day: 22nd December
📅 Back in the office: 19th January

During this time, I’ll be fully offline — no emails, no DMs, no “just a quick question” 😅 BUT don’t worry… my usual content will still be showing up thanks to the magic of pre-scheduling ✨

And you might catch a few story snaps from my time off too 🏕 😎🌻

📍Thrive Chiropractic & Health Clinic:
The clinic will be open, excluding public holidays. Appointments for 2026 can be prebooked by calling 51 74 22 69. Our lovely receptionists can help you with all your questions too.

Online bookings will reopen in 2026.

💧 HydraMama:
Available for purchase through the clinic while I’m away.

I’m really looking forward to helping and supporting more women on their health journeys in the new year. You can’t pour from an empty cup — so I’ll be refilling mine while I'm away and I hope you get the chance to fill yours too!

How does a Nutritionist eat over Christmas? With balance, mindfulness, and zero interest in feeling guilty, bloated, tired or hangry!!

And yes, I loooove festive food. Being half Filipino, celebrating with food is non-negotiable in my world.

Mindful eating over Christmas means enjoying the food and feeling good afterwards.

That’s the goal 🎄✨ 💚

Every January I watch the same thing happen.

Women are told they need fixing.

Challenges appear.

Detoxes are marketed as “health.”

And somehow restriction is sold as discipline.

But if a plan effects your mental health, it’s not supporting your body — it’s overriding it.

You don’t need miracle supplements, detoxes or the latest fad diet.

And you definitely don't need to turn your entire life upside down.

What most women actually need in January is support: enough food, steady energy, better sleep, actually resting and nutrition that fits around real life.

Health isn’t built in extremes, it’s built in small habits over time.

And the same body, better supported (and nourished) will always take you further than fads ever will.

Your iron results are more than a ferritin number, they’re a full story about how well your body is making, moving and using iron.

This carousel breaks down your Iron Report Card so you can finally understand what each marker actually means for your energy, hormones, mood, and day-to-day wellbeing:

• Hepcidin – Your iron “gatekeeper.” When it’s high (stress, inflammation, big iron doses), it blocks absorption.
• Iron (serum iron) – A snapshot of the iron circulating in your blood at that given moment that is available to use.
• Transferrin – The protein that picks iron up and transports it around your body.
• Transferrin Saturation – How much iron is actually on board. Low levels mean there’s not enough getting delivered.
• Ferritin – Your storage tank. Low stores = fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, and feeling flat.
• Haemoglobin – Your oxygen carrier. When this drops, you feel it everywhere.

Understanding each of these explains why symptoms show up long before anaemia and why women can feel exhausted even when most of the markers are “within range". This is why it's so important to get a full Iron Panel tested, NOT just Ferritin alone.

📌 Save this for your next blood test.

If your iron has been low for a while or you’re still feeling wiped out, you can book a consultation through the link in my bio and we’ll go through your results together.

Just because your results come back "within range" doesn't mean that it's the optimal range for you!

It’s not as simple as “just take an iron supplement.” So many women are told this and then wonder why they still feel exhausted, foggy, dizzy or flat even after months on iron.

The truth is: iron digestion and absorption are influenced by so many factors: inflammation, stress, gut health, postpartum recovery, timing and even how often you take it.

And the type of iron matters more than most people realise. Some forms absorb beautifully with minimal symptoms whilst
others barely absorb at all and leave you constipated, nauseous and still depleted.

If your iron supplement hasn’t worked for you, you’re not alone! Swipe through to find out how I rate common and popular iron supplements.

If you’re confused about which iron to take or whether your levels are truly optimal, book a free 10-minute discovery call.

A simple chat can steer you in the right direction and get you feeling like you again.

Feeling more tired than you should be?
Your iron levels might be quietly asking for attention, especially if you’re in one of these groups that are more susceptible to iron deficiency:

✔️ Pregnant or postpartum
✔️ Heavy periods, endometriosis, adenomyosis or fibroids
✔️ Vego/vegan/plant based diet
✔️ Living with chronic illness
✔️ Gut issues like H. pylori, coeliac, IBS, IBD or you've had gastric surgery
✔️ Feeling constantly exhausted (even after “rest”)

Iron is one of the first things I look at when a woman tells me she feels flat, foggy and exhausted. Low iron affects everything from your energy, mood, focus, hormones, sleep and ability to show up each day.

You don’t have to keep guessing why you feel this way. And you don’t have to navigate blood tests alone.

If you want clarity about your iron, book a free 10-minute discovery call (link in bio).

I’ll walk you through:
• what blood tests you actually need
• what the reference ranges mean (and why they can be misleading)
• what optimal iron levels really look like for women

A simple chat can help steer you in the right direction and get you feeling like you again! What are you waiting for?

29/11/2025

These are the blood tests I look at with postpartum mums to help them restore their energy and feel like themselves again. These are the tests that should be done at 6 weeks and 6 months post birth.

Your symptoms matter. Your healing matters. And you deserve more than a quick check-up - these blood tests will help reveal where you need support.

Need help navigating post partum? I'm your gal 🙋🏽‍♀️
