Diet plays an important role in managing many ongoing conditions.

Why diet matters.

Our Dieticians support a wide range of health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, gastrointestinal disorders as well as high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

By working collaboratively with other health professionals, such as Exercise Physiologists and Physiotherapists, we ensure a comprehensive approach to your care, especially when recovering from illness or injury.

We understand that everyone’s needs are unique, which is why our approach is personalised and empathetic; we work alongside you to develop a plan that fits your lifestyle, health requirements, and preferences.

With delicious and nutritious recipes and simple explanations of how different foods affect your health, you can take control of your health and make good nutrition a part of your daily life, without sacrificing what you enjoy.

Helping Richard manage his weight loss.

  • When Richard was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphatic Lipemia, one of his symptoms was unplanned weight loss.

    After losing more than 10kg a friend at his local bowls club suggested he could go to an ECH Dietitian for help managing his weight.

    “Seeing an ECH Dietitian was so helpful. I was able to learn about how I can adjust my diet in a healthy way to incorporate high protein snacks to gain weight. In three weeks, I gained back the weight I had lost, and now with my ECH Dietitian I can keep my current weight on track.”
