About
I'm Cameron Johnson, APD — a specialist diabetes dietitian with over 20 years of experience helping people live well with diabetes. My mission: take the overwhelm out of food and diet science, so you can eat with less stress, more confidence and have better outcomes. At Deconstructing Diabetes, we help you make the dietary management of diabetes part of your life, not the sole focus of your life.
Together we work on the habits and skills to navigate your diabetes journey with confidence. You're not just paying for a session — you're gaining over 20 years of experience translating complex diabetes nutrition science into simple, sustainable habits, tailored to your health goals, medications, lifestyle, and life situation.
Approach: Practical, supportive, and simplicity-focused. Aims to reduce overwhelm and food stress, tailoring advice to individual lifestyle and goals. Described by clients as easy to talk to, encouraging, and informative.
Weight Loss Approach
Sustainable habit-building focused on long-term dietary behaviour change. Emphasises reducing 'food stress', simplifying eating, and creating practical habits that fit into everyday life rather than short-term dieting.
Offers a 58-page eBook 'GLP-1 Medications & Diet: A Practical Guide to Eating Well & Building Habits' (A$29) covering appetite changes, side effects, muscle/nutrition protection, plateau management, and building sustainable habits. Suitable for individuals on Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. Also provides one-on-one telehealth consultations for people using GLP-1 medications for diabetes management or weight loss.
