Sante Medical
Melanie is an Accredited Practising Dietitian who is passionate about food and cooking. She became a dietitian to combine her love of food and desire to help others. She provides patients with evidence-based nutrition strategies to help them meet their goals through practical dietary recommendations and sustainable health and lifestyle changes.
She has a strong interest in therapeutic carbohydrate restriction (low carb) but understands there is no one diet fits all approach. She finds low-carb eating easy to adapt to a busy lifestyle, including plenty of eating out, and was able to reduce and maintain her weight without feeling restricted. After finding personal success, she has seen similar success with many patients for weight loss and many other chronic conditions.
Approach: Evidence-based, practical, and sustainable. Acknowledges personal experience with low-carb eating for weight management. Non-dogmatic — recognises no single diet suits everyone.
