At Optimum Intake, our non-diet, HAES-aligned dietitians provide personalised, evidence-based nutrition support across Central Coast and Newcastle. We focus on sustainable habits over scales — fostering a positive relationship with food through intuitive eating. We address both the nutritional and behavioural aspects of eating, creating tailored plans so you feel heard, inspired and empowered.
We move clients away from restrictive dieting (success rate at best 5%) and towards total health enhancement. Your journey starts with a nutritional assessment so we can truly understand your needs. Seeking a dietitian is not a one-and-done experience — we recommend 3–5 sessions initially, then 3–5 more for sustained results.
Approach: Compassionate, non-diet, HAES-aligned, client-centred; integrates nutritional and behavioural aspects; warm and empowering; no judgement; matched to individual needs via Care Coordinator
Non-diet approach, Health at Every Size (HAES) aligned, intuitive eating. Focuses on sustainable habits, body acceptance, internal hunger/fullness cues and positive relationship with food rather than weight loss or calorie targets. Does not use weighing/measuring foods, detailed food diaries, calorie plans or 'diet' foods.
