Clinical Nutrition
What is clinical nutrition?
Clinical nutrition (also known as nutritional medicine) aims to improve individual health outcomes and support the management of complex health conditions through dietary modification, improved nutritional status, and lifestyle changes.
A clinical nutritionist works with people who want nutritional support to maintain their health. Clients may seek the help of a clinical nutritionist to manage chronic and complex health conditions, acute health issues (such as cold and flu), or to improve their general health and wellbeing.
The aim of a clinical nutritionist is to assess and improve nutrition to help maintain and/or remediate metabolic dysfunction that may drive common health issues and chronic disease.
Clinical nutritionists often collaborate with other health professionals, such as your GP, to offer integrative support.
A Certified Practicing Nutritionist (CPN) is a degree qualified and clinically trained nutritionist registered with the Australasian Association and Register of Practicing Nutritionists (AARPN).
Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.

Work with Johanna
Using a holistic approach, I aim to target the underlying causes of symptoms.
I will take a thorough case history and conduct clinically-relevant examinations (e.g., physical observation for signs of nutrient deficiency) to assess your nutritional status and the functioning of body systems and metabolic pathways.
Pathology and functional testing may also be used to form a deeper understanding of your health.
Create your nutrition plan
We will discuss your lifestyle needs and factors that may affect your wellbeing.
These may include your sleep, stress, hobbies, family and/or work commitments, and other environmental factors.
After discussing your health goals, we will collaborate to develop your personalised nutrition plan.
Your nutrition plan will meet your unique needs to optimise your health. It can be adjusted as you advance through your health journey and will serve as a helpful guide between appointments.
