Rethink Nutrition

Accredited Practising Dietitian based in Wollongong. Nutrition for all bodies. I work in the areas of Eating Disorders / ARFID / Intuitive Eating.

Currently taking new clients. Head to the website to book an appointment. Rethink Nutrition is the business of Accredited Practising Dietitian and Nutritionist Jacqueline Tyler. Consultations are currently available in Wollongong, NSW. The driving force behind Rethink Nutrition is a passion for helping individuals to foster eating habits that promote physical health, as well as taking into account their personal preferences, budgets, schedules and lifestyles. Rethink Nutrition recognises that a healthy diet looks different for every individual, and that a one-size-fits-all approach to eating does not work.

Nutrition is nuanced, and as a dietitian working with unique individuals who exist within their own unique set of circumstances, my answers to "quick" questions are rarely black and white.

An answer that begins with "It depends..." is likely to take into account your goals, health history, support systems, conflicting priorities, sensory needs, and more. And while social media often hands out blanket nutrition advice, you deserve a more considered, personalised response.

So, if your next question is “Can you just tell me what I should eat?”… well, it depends. 🤔🙃

Social media makes meal prep look so simple, right?
If you've ever wondered why it can feel so hard to do your own meal planning and prep, you're not alone.
When we break it down, there are so many steps involved in meal planning, including decision making, budgeting, time management, task initiation, and more.
All these little steps add up and require a lot of energy and brain space!
Swipe through to see why it’s completely normal to find meal prep harder than it looks. 🌻

There are lots of different meal planning strategies and finding the right one for you is really helpful. This is a strategy I used for a while when my kids were a bit younger, and it worked really well for me. The theme nights are great when your biggest hurdle is the deciding what to cook.

Just quietly, if you are cooking for a family, I think a 'fend for yourselves' theme would be a great Friday night option.

🍽️Would you try this strategy? What would your meal themes be?

Lately some of my clients have been finding this strategy useful, and I have too! So I thought I would share it here.

There are lots of different strategies that you can work with to make meal planning or shopping easier. This is a simple method that involves picking one meal that uses more fresh ingredients, one meal that uses pantry staples and less intense cooking, and one convenient ready-to-go option. You can decide which meals would fit into the different categories for you, because everyone's definition of simple or low-prep is different.

Do you think this strategy would help you?

Every client that I sit in the consult room with has their own unique needs when it comes to their diet. So what works well for one person will be different to what works well for the next.

If you’re trying to eat better but keep running into overwhelm or burnout, it might not be a lack of effort — it might be a mismatch between what you're trying and what you actually need.

You don’t need to keep pushing through something that doesn’t suit your brain or your body.

I'd love to help you find strategies that meet you where you're at and are the right fit for you.

🚨 Food noise loves to show up sounding like the food police, doesn't it? I should eat this / I shouldn't eat that. It's judgey, and loves to cause you guilt and shame.

✨ I help people dismantle the diet rules they've absorbed over a lifetime, and develop a relationship with food based on self care and curiosity. If you want help ditching the should/shouldn'ts, get in touch today.

Eating can already be tough. Low appetite, food anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or an ED voice that makes everything harder.

But what if part of the challenge is what you’re hearing?

This post was inspired by a journal article* I read recently which looked at how auditory environments influence the link between autistic traits and quality of life. It wasn’t about food specifically, but it got me thinking.

If your brain is working hard to manage background noise (competing conversations, loud cutlery, food chewing sounds), there may not be much energy left over for eating. Especially if eating is already something you have to push through.

For some autistic folk, adjusting the sound environment (even just a little) can make eating feel more doable. Quieter space, soothing background noise, headphones, or changing where and who you eat with can make a difference to the overall experience.

If this resonates, you’re not alone. You’re not being dramatic or “fussy”. You’re supporting your nervous system. And that matters.

Have you ever made sound-related adjustments to support eating?

This week is Dietitians Week!

This week, we celebrate dietitians and the incredible impact they can make when they are part of your healthcare team.

The Dietitians I've had the opportunity to work with or learn from are some of the most compassionate and caring people I know.

Happy Dietitians Week!💛

I love digging deeper with client goals. Especially when the goals start out as "normal eating" or "to eat better".

What comes to mind when you think of “normal eating”? Does the answer sound like balance? moderation? fruits & vegetables?

That’s the kind of answer I often hear, and while it’s not wrong, it can still carry a lot of unspoken rules and pressure.

For many people, that version of “normal” may not feel very helpful.

In this post, I’m unpacking some of the assumptions we make about eating. Offering a different, more flexible way of thinking about it. One that makes room for real life, real bodies, and real brains.

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to food.
But if the way you’re eating doesn’t feel good, you’re not alone, and support is available.

The amount of energy and brain power we have to spare for food tasks can change every day. Especially for neurodivergent folk.
Some days you might have capacity to plan, prep, cook and eat something more involved or nutritionally varied.
Other days… not so much.

And that’s not a flaw, it’s just being human.

Food and eating tasks require different types of energy (executive function, sensory processing, emotional regulation), and all of these can shift day to day. When we expect ourselves to show up the same way every day, we set ourselves up to feel like we’re failing when our capacity dips.

But here’s where radical acceptance comes in.
When we accept that our capacity will fluctuate, we can:
✨ Let go of harsh self-judgment
✨ Make space for gentle, doable options on hard days
✨ Stop seeing convenience or repetition as failure
✨ Allow ourselves to return to higher-capacity choices when it feels possible again

There’s relief in accepting your capacity as it is, instead of constantly pushing against it.

How do you approach food and eating on your lower capacity days? Are you able to offer yourself kindness?

I love supporting clients with ARFID to define their own goals for eating, and then work towards them.
