Meet the Team, Peta 💚

Say hello to Peta, Founder and Managing Director of Ingrained Nutrition 👋

Peta founded Ingrained Nutrition in 2009 right here in Wagga Wagga, building the practice from the ground up into the service it is today. Over the past 17 years she has grown a team of passionate dietitians delivering clinic, in-home and telehealth services across NSW and Queensland, supporting clients through everything from everyday nutrition concerns to complex clinical care.

Peta has extensive experience across disability nutrition, NDIS reports and capacity-building plans, PEG and enteral feeding support, aged care menu reviews and community dietetics. She is a passionate advocate for dietetics and is an intergral member and conributor committees and advisory boards in clinical governance for dietetics and the wider allied health community.

She’s also deeply passionate about rural and regional healthcare and works closely with support coordinators, plan managers, care teams and families to deliver collaborative, high-quality care. The sole reason why she has continued supporting the families and communities in the place she grew up in.

Her favourite thing about being part of the team?
Helping the team enjoy their work and grow in their roles, whether that’s dietitians, NDIS support, admin or social media, this is definitely what drives her.

Outside of work, Peta enjoys spending time with her family, including her life-loving foodie daughter and a lively crew of miniature goats and chickens.

We’re lucky to have you boss 💚

Let's bust a few myths. 👇
Some of the most common ones we hear from clients:
"Carbs are bad"
"Sugar is toxic"
"I need to have the perfect body to be healthy"
None of these are true, and honestly, believing them tends to make eating more stressful, not less.
Carbs are a key energy source. Sugar in context isn't the enemy. And health looks different for every single person.
The goal isn't perfection, it's finding an approach that actually works for your life.
If you're tired of second-guessing every food choice, a dietitian can help cut through the noise. Link in bio to book.

Is protein actually that important for weight loss? 🤔
Short answer: yes, but it's not the whole story.
Our dietitian Tracy breaks it down:
🥩 Protein helps protect your lean muscle mass while you're losing weight (which matters more than most people realise)
😌 It's also one of the most satisfying nutrients, meaning it keeps you fuller for longer
🍽️ And when you're trying to eat a little less overall, feeling satisfied goes a long way
The goal isn't to obsess over protein, it's to make sure you're meeting your needs in a way that actually supports your body.
Want to know if you're getting enough? Book in with one of our dietitians for personalised advice. 👇

You can train your chat to know you, but will it challenge you, draw meaningful conclusions and present to you the "best" approach based on clinical experience?

No. This is where our dietitian's at Ingrained Nutrition are more elite.

Meet the Team, Tracy 💚

Say hello to Tracy, one of our Accredited Practising Dietitians here at Ingrained Nutrition 👋

Tracy is a Wagga local who completed her dietetics degree at Charles Sturt University and has spent many years supporting people across the Riverina through both community and private practice. After taking time away from the profession to raise her two children, Tracy returned to dietetics in 2023, bringing with her a wealth of experience and a truly supportive, holistic approach to care.

She supports clients across areas including diabetes, heart disease, menopause and complex weight management, focusing on practical, sustainable changes that fit into everyday life.

As a mum herself, Tracy understands the juggle many families face when it comes to preparing nutritious meals with limited time. She loves helping individuals and families make realistic changes that improve their health and can be maintained long term.

Outside of work, Tracy enjoys starting her day with a morning walk, spending time with family and friends, and the occasional nice glass of red.

Have you just been diagnosed with Coeliac Disease?

Our dietitian Sally knows your pain (a fellow Coeliac). That last hoorah of gluten before moving towards a strict GF diet is just one of the many tips Sally has.

Easter chocolate tends to come with a lot of guilt and “I’ll be good again on Tuesday” thinking.

From a dietitian perspective, the bigger issue usually isn’t the chocolate itself, it’s the all-or-nothing mindset around food.

Chocolate can absolutely fit into a balanced way of eating. Keeping your usual meals, pairing chocolate with other foods, and spreading it across the day can help support steady energy levels and blood sugars over the long weekend.

Food is also about traditions, celebrations, and enjoyment, and Easter is meant to include all three.

If you’d like personalised support with blood sugars, nutrition, or building a healthier relationship with food, our dietitians are here to help.

Her favourite thing about being part of the team?
Getting to problem-solve, improve systems, and help everything run seamlessly behind the scenes (admin brain = very happy).

With a sharp eye for detail and a big heart for helping others, she plays a huge role in making sure clients receive the best possible care.

Both of these meals might be 300 calories… but they won’t leave you feeling the same.

If you’ve ever felt hungry soon after eating, or like you’re constantly thinking about food, this is where energy density and satiety matter.

It’s not just about calories.
It’s about how those calories work for your body.

Focusing on protein, fibre, and volume can help you feel more satisfied, without needing to overthink your food choices.

If you’re not sure where to start, we can help you build meals that actually keep you full and energised.
