Dietetics for older people

Eating and nutrition advice to help you live well

Our dietitians provide expert advice about food and nutrition and how they affect your health and wellbeing. As we get older, our nutritional needs change. We can help you build healthier eating habits and manage diet-related health problems. Our experienced, friendly team offers one-on-one consultations and group education programs.

We can support you with:

  • managing weight – overweight or underweight
  • chronic conditions like diabetes or heart disease
  • symptoms such as bloating or fatigue after eating
  • getting the right nutrition for your age
  • digestive issues and food intolerances
  • cancer-related nutrition needs
  • food allergies and special diets.
