Dietetics Support That Fits Your Life

Good nutrition plays an essential role in body function, energy levels, and overall well-being. When our diet and nutrition are impacted, it's not just the food that gets affected. Nutrition may influence digestion, mood, weight changes, and overall daily functioning.

Prime Medic offers dietetics services in a supportive and practical way. Telehealth dietetics consultations provide a convenient way to connect with qualified dietitians who genuinely get to know your circumstances, hear out your worries, and discuss nutrition support options that may suit your lifestyle and preferences.

What Are Dietetics?

The word "dietetics" actually means the study of nutrition and the effects of food on body health from different angles, including various stages of life and health. Dietitians are healthcare professionals who are thoroughly trained to evaluate eating patterns, nutritional requirements, and health status to provide evidence-informed dietetic guidance.

Dietetics is often associated with weight-related concerns. On top of that, people can request dietitian support for the case of indigestion, managing chronic health conditions, food intolerances, lifestyle adaptations, or mainstream nutrition education as well. Both adults and young members of the family are eligible for dietetics support depending on their personal circumstances.

For more information about professional dietetic standards and the role of dietitians in healthcare, visit the Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA).

Who May Benefit from Dietetics Support?

Each person has different nutritional requirements. Some individuals may notice their appetite, digestion, or energy level has changed, while others may wish to get advice on medical conditions or age-related phases.

Dietitians are professionals who might be given the task to help people with:

• Digestive discomfort or food intolerances
• Nutrition support for chronic health conditions
• Weight management support through lifestyle education, which may also be explored through a weight management consultation, where appropriate.
• A coordinated approach, including an endocrinology consultation, may be discussed to understand hormone-related or metabolic factors.
• Heart health and cholesterol-focused nutrition
• Nutritional needs during pregnancy or ageing
• Disordered eating patterns requiring dietary guidance
• Sports and performance nutrition education
• Paediatric nutrition problems

Dietetics is a branch of services that provides for the needs of individuals, families, and children via telehealth. You can have a telehealth dietetics consultation at a time convenient to you.

What to Expect During a Dietetics Consultation

A dietetics consultation is designed to be supportive and non-judgmental. Your dietitian will discuss your eating habits, health background and overall nutrition goals in detail.

Typical topics to be discussed include:

• Current dietary patterns and routines
• Digestive symptoms or nutrition concerns
• Lifestyle factors affecting eating habits
• Medical history or existing conditions, if relevant
• Personal nutrition goals and preferences

From the information you have given, the dietitian will be able to outline suitable nutrition strategies and educational guidance aligned with your needs and preferences.

A Practical Approach to Nutrition Support

Nutrition and dietetics are not only about choosing the right food. It shifts attention to human behaviour, lifestyle, culture, and also the availability of food.

Your dietitian can guide you to:

• Develop healthy and sustainable eating habits
• Getting familiar with food packaging and serving sizes
• Managing dietary requirements in personal/professional spaces
• Providing nutrition education to families and children
• Supporting energy levels and daily routines
• Modifying nutrition selections for cultural or personal dietary preferences

Support is delivered collaboratively, with strategies discussed at a pace that suits you.
