As nutrition guidelines become more scientific and, sometimes, more complicated, enlisting the help of a dietitian could make all the difference in your journey to good health. “I will take the guesswork out of your diet, assessing your individual needs and putting together a meal plan tailored to your lifestyle and needs,” says dietitian Kerry Hillermann.
“The power of good nutrition cannot be underestimated and I am passionate about helping people make the necessary changes in their lives.”
Daily stress and poor food choices can lead to inflammation and oxidation – contributing factors of disease. Taking in the correct foodstuff, including phytonutrients, will help your body fight oxidants and reduce their negative effects.
Kerry has a background in therapeutic nutrition, having worked with children and trauma victims, as well as experience of addressing chronic conditions, including hypertension, diabetes and obesity. “A number of my clients are referred by their doctor for help with specific conditions as part of an holistic approach. I will make recommendations to suit your lifestyle, considering all the dietary factors that may influence your health.”
A comprehensive assessment is essential for identifying these factors. Kerry uses proven scientific principles, along with high tech equipment to evaluate your body composition, measuring body fat and the integrity of your cell membranes. She will then advise the best course of action. These assessments are also suitable for children.
Nutrition education will change the way you view your food, helping you achieve the results you desire. Kerry will guide you through the spectrum of ingredients you should include at mealtimes, suggesting healthier options and cooking methods for your favourite recipes. “I’ll show you the tricks to make a wholesome diet achievable and sustainable,” says Kerry, “and all in a tasty way!”
