Antigone Anne Kouris-Blazos
Total Nutrition Care / Prof Kouris Nutrition
About
Dr Antigone Kouris takes a holistic approach to patient care with the ultimate goal being improved wellness and optimal health. She goes beyond simple dietary coaching for the management of the presenting condition, addressing all nutrition-related symptoms that may involve multiple organs, nutritional insufficiencies caused by the condition/diet/medication/environment. Treatment includes tailored dietary prescription and short-term evidence-based nutritional therapy to aid in management of conditions and improvement of wellness.
She specialises in the evidence and application of nutraceuticals and tailored diets to manage/treat over 20 conditions, and is a strong advocate of pulses (especially lupin) for improving the gut microbiome and lowering blood sugars, cholesterol, blood pressure and weight. She also develops functional food products — low sugar, high fibre lupin-based cookies — for weight loss and blood sugar management.
Approach: Holistic, evidence-based, science-driven; goes beyond dietary coaching to address the whole patient including nutritional insufficiencies, supplement needs and drug-nutrient interactions.

Advocates use of functional foods (especially lupin/pulses) to support weight loss. Addresses nutritional insufficiencies caused by condition, diet, medication and environment.
Tailored dietary prescription combined with short-term evidence-based nutritional therapy.
