Do you have a medical condition that requires you to follow a special diet? Are you confused about food labels and what they mean?

A dietitian can provide evidence-based nutrition information required to enhance your health. 

During a consultation with our dietitian, you will receive individual dietary counselling and specific advice on your diet. The dietitian will:
