Regional areas face a critical shortage of healthcare services, which was the motivating factor for Mackay Dietitian Kate Woods in launching Nutrition for a Healthy Life. 'I've been a Dietitian now for about 8 years, working in regional Queensland. There's definitely a lot of need in the community – we know that chronic disease is a massive factor.
' The practice offers evidence-based, personalised nutrition advice via telehealth, with easy online booking and 'personalised nutrition without the wait.' Services include meal plans, wellness programs, and food service consultancy.
Approach: Evidence-based, practical and personalised; focused on accessible care for underserved regional communities.
