Dietitian
Dietitians are experts in food and help promote nutritional wellbeing, prevent nutrition-related problems and treat disease. Altering your diet can be tricky without help, especially if a sudden diagnosis has forced you to focus on what you are eating, such as diabetes, cancer or an organ failure. Even if that’s not the case and you have a specific goal in mind such as weight management, muscle building or IBS management, dietetics can help with a breadth of problems.

FAQs
Holistic and homeopathic medicine are not the same thing. Holistic medicine is the umbrella term used to describe a variety of services that aim to treat the person as a whole. Whereas, homeopathy is the system based on the belief that the body can heal itself and homeopathic medicine is typically made from natural substances such as plants and minerals. Some holistic medicine may use homeopathic medicine within their practice.
Take stress for example. You might visit a GP if you are suffering from stress and they might recommend some lifestyle changes, possibly prescribe you something or refer you to a psychiatrist. In addition to this, you might consider a dietitian to advise on foods that are beneficial for reducing stress or seek a meal plan to curb “stress eating”. Alternatively, you may see the acupuncturist, which is proven to reduce stress. Or perhaps you have a tight back or tension in your neck because of stress, which an osteopath can help resolve. All these services can work together to maximise your chances of being successfully treated.
