Dietitian
Dietitians are experts in food and nutrition. They provide evidence based guidance on how to manage diets and nutrition for different age groups and health conditions. Clients consult dietitians when facing weight changes, diseases and other diet-related health and physical concerns. Dietitians possess extensive knowledge of how food affects the body and which plans will be most effective in achieving dietary goals and improving client health and wellbeing. A dietitian will assess the personalised needs of their client and prepare plans and regimes to improve eating habits, monitor progress and make changes as needed. They are responsible for educating clients on dietary requirements and informing them about the healthiest food choices.
