Elevate Nutritionist Services in Sydney CBD

How does a Nutritionist work?

Nutritionists extensively study the systems of the human body; how they may malfunction and the correct nutrients required for optimal function. External factors that can affect health are also identified and addressed. Elevate’s nutritionist regularly attends seminars and reviews scientific literature and studies on nutrition and supplements to ensure that recommendations given are in accordance with the most current recommendations.

Nutritionists work primarily with food as it provides the building blocks for your body. If you get the basics right you optimize health, improve life and prevent premature death from chronic disease. It is also important to ensure that the food eaten is broken down, absorbed, utilized and wastes eliminated efficiently. Consequently education on how to eat as well as what to eat is given to clients.

Additionally, nutritional supplements may be prescribed when appropriate to provide symptomatic relief, support and optimize bodily functions and to correct any deficiencies. However, our Sydney nutritionist’s role is also to support and empower you to make the lifestyle and attitudinal changes to take back control of your health and to adopt sustainable solutions.

Our nutritionist understands that you are an individual and there is no one perfect eating plan for everyone. Rather, each person is assessed for their individual requirements, lifestyle, likes and dislikes and advice is given to meet their specific needs.

Nutrition Practitioner and Client confidentiality, responsibility and agreement

Nutritionists and their clients work as a partnership to achieve the client’s goals. Any recommendation, advice or supplementary support offered by a Nutritionist can only be effective when there is trust and an open dialogue and agreement established between both parties.

Any changes to a client’s circumstance needs to be communicated for the treatment process to be managed effectively. Likewise, a client’s role is to accept ownership for their health as they manage their daily choices to achieve long term wellbeing.

Our Sydney nutritionist will make recommendations based on information given by the client and the results of any diagnostic tests or tools that may be conducted in house or received from doctors, specialist laboratories or other health practitioners.

Any discussions, investigations or reports are strictly confidential. Should the Nutrition pactitioner need to liaise with other practitioners or medical specialists or testing facilities, the client’s permission will be obtained prior to communication with the other party.
