About
Welcome to Peak Health & Nutrition – a team of dietitians with shared values and a love of food. Since establishing ourselves back in 2004, we have grown and evolved to become the dedicated team we are today. We enjoy working collaboratively with you to support your health, nutrition and wellbeing.
We bring together a diverse set of skills across multiple health areas of expertise. We work collaboratively with GPs, psychologists, paediatricians, gastroenterologists, speech pathologists and other allied health professionals. We are dedicated, evidence-based, understanding, and non-judgmental – providing a safe and supportive space.
We offer both individual and group consultations across our Eltham, Croydon, Berwick and Alphington clinics, as well as telehealth.
Approach: Non-judgmental, safe and supportive; evidence-based; collaborative; client-centred; holistic
Weight Loss Approach
The practice lists 'overweight and obesity' and 'weight management' as areas of practice. Multiple dietitians take a Non-Diet Approach (NDA), Health At Every Size (HAES®), and Intuitive Eating framework. Several dietitians list 'concerns with weight gain/loss' as a specialty.
The practice does not promote calorie-deficit or structured weight loss programs on its website; the emphasis is on evidence-based, non-judgmental, client-centred care and positive food relationships.
