Michael Paterson
Dietitian With A Difference
About
I'm Michael the founder and director of Dietitian With A Difference. I started the business to help provide clarity in an ever confusing food world. I am a firm believer that empowering clients to take control of their health as early as possible can not only help them achieve their goals but also set themselves up with the skill set and knowledge to provide healthy foundations for future generations.
I work with clients all across Australia online and throughout the Lake Macquarie district to improve their health.
Approach: Empowering, client-focused; aims to build skills and knowledge for long-term health rather than short-term fixes
