What Does a Nutritionist Do?

A client will typically visit a nutritionist with a goal in mind, whether it’s to lose weight, increase chances of conception or simply improve eating habits. Nutritionists typically provide tailored advice for clients based on a considered, holistic view of their lifestyle, their dietary habits and their overall health in order to help them best achieve their health and wellness goals.

The nutritionist then formulates a nutrition plan based on the client’s needs and monitors their progress over time. They might make adjustments to the plan if progress has stalled or ground to a halt.

Is There a Difference Between a Nutritionist and a Dietitian?

While some might use the terms interchangeably, there are in fact some differences between a nutritionist and a dietitian that are worth highlighting.

A clinical nutritionist in Melbourne will typically have some form of tertiary qualification in the field, usually in an area like public health, nutrition or food science. They will often find employment in the fields of public health nutrition, research, community health promotion and food technology.

A dietitian is tertiary qualified in food, nutrition and dietetics. As part of their tertiary qualifications, they will have undertaken supervised and formally assessed professional stints in public health nutrition, medical nutrition therapy and food service management. Dietitians can typically work in the same field as nutritionists, but with their additional qualifications, they can also work in private practice, hospitals and the medical nutrition industry.

At Melbourne Natural Medicine Clinic, we offer the option of visiting a nutritionist as we believe this is a more natural approach.

What is the Difference Between a Nutritionist and a Naturopath?

These two fields have enough perceived overlap that they often get confused. The key difference between the two is that a nutritionist works specifically with nutritional medicines such as vitamins, minerals and neutraceuticals. A nutritionist will also generally prescribe changes to diet and lifestyle as the key approach to restoring a patient’s health.

A naturopath will typically opt for prescribing herbal medicines first and foremost. Both might incorporate the other’s tools of treatment occasionally, but only as a secondary measure or as a supplement to their treatment approaches.

What Services Do Our Nutritionists Provide?

What is FODMAP?

FODMAP is an acronym that stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols. These names refer to particular carbohydrates found in food that some people – particularly those with Irritable Bowel Syndrome – have trouble digesting properly. A nutritionist can help you determine whether you have intolerances to food products containing any of these carbohydrates by running FODMAP tests. Speak to one of our nutritionists in Melbourne about FODMAP testing today.

Reviews

I've been seeing Lina for about two years now to treat a skin related condition. Lina is extremely knowledgeable; she is patient and persistent but best of all, she is practical! Her advice was tailored to suit my lifestyle and commitments without being unworkable or unrealistic. She really cares and is passionate about health. I would recommend Lina 100%.
I have been seeing Erin Graystone for the past 4 months due to leaky gut symptoms and a bacterial overgrowth in my GI tract. Erin is knowledgeable, kind and understanding and really goes the extra mile to make sure you are getting the right treatment. My symptoms are greatly reduced and we are on track to a full recovery after 10 years of other practitioner’s not finding an answer. It’s been life changing. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Thankyou Erin
Today was my second visit with Lina who is so kind and caring and she has given me hope that my perimenopause symptoms can be balanced with her guidance. I have already felt a shift in my sleep which had been horrible. The clinic is so lovely, staff are very helpful and I look forward to the journey ahead of managing this transition in my life.
I've had stomach problems for years and doctors have never properly diagnosed the problem. After one meeting with Emma I was giving a breath test and found the issue. We are now working to fix the issue
I have been attending Emma Berry for long standing difficult gut-related issues. She has been so helpful and empathetic with dealing with my issues and diagnosing underlying pathology. This is the most progress I've made in years, after exploring lots of treatments. I could not recommend Emma more.
Olga's expertise and experience has brought my son's health back on track and he is now a much happier and healthier boy. Olga is thorough and covers all aspects of gut health. With Olga's support my son's health and overall wellbeing has improved immensely!
Highly recommend natural medicine, Rebecca has been fantastic and has helped me with most of areas of concern. Always attentive and has supported me all the way through . Thank you Rebecca
Angela was highly recommended by a friend. I found Angela very professional, patient & amazing. It is so easy to talk to her about all my health concerns & work through them. I love the way she explains how things work, the rationale behind getting tests done & the supplements she prescribed.

The staff at the clinic are warm, friendly & willing to help. ♥️

Thank you Angela & Team
I was very well accepted by Chantelle. She was caring , precise and listened to my concerns. I felt heard and she accepted that I had issues, that needed attention. I was delighted by time well spent with Chantelle.
