Are you in need of diet advice?
Whether you want to lose or gain weight, learn about diet, understand diabetes or high cholesterol or ensure your diet is healthy for your age, a dietitian can assist.
Dietitians can help guide your shopping, provide meal ideas and recipes, offer support to reach your personal goals and help you decide which foods are right for you and your lifestyle. Appointments are available with an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) at the UniSA Exercise Physiology clinic on North Terrace and Frome Road.
What do dietitians do?
Dietitians prevent and treat food, nutrient and diet related health problems by applying the science of human nutrition to promote healthy eating habits, recommend dietary modifications, and help people understand food and health relationships.
