Nutrition and dietetics

Practical, evidence-based support with what you eat, built around your life rather than an ideal one.

This is not a diet plan you get handed it is worked out with you, adjusted as it meets real life, and built to survive a bad week rather than only a good one.

What this covers

Nutrition support here is about what you can actually sustain. Most people already know roughly what they should be eating. What is missing is a plan that fits shift work, a family, a budget and the days when nothing goes to plan.

Sessions start with what you eat now and why, not with a list of things to stop.

Eating patterns and habits

Why the pattern is what it is, and which one or two changes would make the biggest difference without upending everything.

Health conditions

Dietary support where a diagnosed condition is involved, worked in alongside your doctor rather than around them.

Energy, sleep and mood

What you eat and when affects all three. Often the most noticeable early wins come from here rather than from weight.

Alongside counselling

Where food and emotion are tangled together, nutrition and counselling can run side by side within the one practice.

What it helps with

  • Knowing roughly what to eat and not doing it consistently
  • Eating that falls apart on shift work or a bad week
  • Energy that drops away through the afternoon
  • Sleep and mood that shift with what you eat
  • Dietary support alongside a diagnosed condition
  • Feeding a family and yourself on one budget
  • Starting again every Monday
  • Food and emotion tangled up together

Who you would see

Nutrition at Advance Minds

Appointments are available in person at Bankstown and online anywhere in Australia. If what you are dealing with turns out to be more about the relationship with food than the food itself, that conversation can happen here too.

Common questions

Will I be put on a diet?

No. You will not be handed a plan and sent away with it. Sessions start with what you eat now and why, and the changes are worked out with you so they survive shift work, a family, a budget and a bad week. A plan that only works on a good week is not a plan.

What happens in the first session?

Mostly listening. What you eat, when, what your week actually looks like, and what has been tried before. From there you agree one or two changes that would make the biggest difference, rather than a long list of things to stop.

Do I need a referral from my GP?

No, you can book directly. If a diagnosed condition is involved it helps to say so when you book, because that support is worked in alongside your doctor rather than around them.

Can this run alongside counselling?

Yes, and it often should. Where food and emotion are tangled together, running nutrition and counselling side by side within the one practice means the two are not pulling in different directions.

What if my eating is more about how I feel than about food?

Then that conversation can happen here too. A lot of people arrive expecting to talk about meals and find the useful part is somewhere else. Nothing about that is unusual, and it does not mean you booked the wrong thing.

How often would I come?

Usually more often at the start, then spaced further apart as things settle. What you are building is a way of eating that holds without appointments, so the pattern is meant to taper rather than continue indefinitely.

Do you do sessions online?

Yes. Appointments are available in person at Bankstown or by secure video anywhere in Australia.

What if I have tried this before and it did not stick?

That is the most common thing people say here. Usually what failed was a plan built for an ideal week rather than a real one. Starting again every Monday is a sign the plan is wrong, not that you are.
