Have you noticed that you (or a loved one) are having trouble controlling the way that you think about food and eating? Does your diet seem to control you, rather than the other way around?
Have you been diagnosed with an Eating Disorder, or are concerned that you, or a loved one, may have an Eating Disorder? If you answered Yes to any of these questions then book an appointment today. We manage our availability carefully to minimise delays, so we always have in-person and telehealth appointments available within the next few weeks. 

Perhaps you feel isolated because you feel you have to restrict your food and no one else understands, or, you may be finding it harder to socialise with others when food is involved.

Disordered Eating comes in many different forms. Our dietitians have undertaken specialised training to work with you or your family member to rebuild a healthy relationship with food.

You will work in consultation with your dietitian to

  • establish healthy eating patterns and routine

  • achieve nutritional adequacy in your diet to help give you more energy and vitality

  • learn how to make food choices to nourish you body

 

Your dietitian will stay in communication with you and your team, including your GP and psychologist if required. Your dietitian works with you to reach your goals, at your pace, without judgement.

The dietitians at Live Better Nutrition are happy to take part in Eating Disorder Care Plans, organised through your GP, which entitle you to a Medicare Rebate for 20 dietetic sessions in twelve months.

 

We are experienced in the management of:

  • Anorexia Nervosa

  • Bulimia Nervosa

  • Orthorexia Nervosa

  • Binge Eating Disorder

  • ARFID (Avoidant/ Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)

In-person and telehealth appointments available.

We are located in Eastern Australia - please email us at  enquiries@livebetternutrition.com.au if you would like to arrange an appointment outside of our standard operating hours

Patient feedback

Thank you for your wonderful support of our family. We are so grateful for the gentle cheerleading approach you took with our daughter as she recovered from an eating disorder. Your understanding and empathy was just what she needed to help ger her interested in eating (and the right foods) again.
