Claire Daly, Accredited Practising Dietitian
About
I'm an Accredited Practising Dietitian with over 25 years experience in nutrition, dietetics and health promotion. I now work in private practice providing telehealth consultations Australia wide. I help adults improve their health and quality of life via evidence-based nutrition therapy and weight loss if indicated.
Although I work with both men and women, I also have a lot of experience (including personal experience) with PCOS and associated health issues including fertility struggles, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. My approach is person-centred, evidence based, holistic, with a dash of life experience. I believe you know your body, food preferences and health experiences better than anyone, and that my role is to support, guide, educate and empower you to reach your goals with long term results.
I believe bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and that a person's body size doesn't always predict their overall wellness.
Approach: Person-centred, evidence-based, holistic, with lived experience. Practical, realistic and non-prescriptive — focuses on sustainable changes that fit the client's lifestyle, food preferences and family. Non-judgmental about body size.
Weight Loss Approach
Evidence-based nutrition therapy, person-centred, holistic. Acknowledges bodies come in all shapes and sizes and that body size doesn't always predict overall wellness. Focuses on long-term behaviour change, goal-setting, and tailored nutrition strategies.
Provides sample meal plans and ongoing nutrition education.
Yes — explicitly lists 'nutrition support while using weight loss medication' as a service offered under weight loss.
