Hi, I'm Dr Rebecca Luong, the Cardiometabolic Dietitian, an Accredited Practising Dietitian, and Accredited Sports Dietitian.
I love food and have always been fascinated by its power with an unwavering curiosity about its science. Whilst studying food science, I worked as a medical receptionist at a clinic. It was here that I saw firsthand the importance of taking care of our bodies and the incredible opportunity to help individuals along their health journey.
This inspired me to pursue a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics to combine my love of food with my passion for health. I immediately began helping clients improve their health, and also worked in various areas of dietetics including clinical dietetics, community health, nutrition research, supermarket nutrition, and academia, to gain a better understanding of how it all comes together to provide the best practical and personalised nutrition solutions.
Through my work, I have seen a concerning rise in cardiometabolic conditions that often present together and impact individuals' day-to-day lives including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, abdominal adiposity, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, ultimately leading to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, the related condition of fatty liver, and shortened healthy life expectancy. Determined to make a difference and translate science to the highest quality evidence-based nutrition advice, I recently pursued a Doctor of Philosophy in Cardiometabolic Health. I have learned that when implemented correctly you can start seeing changes in as little as 2-4 weeks.
I am committed to help you improve your cardiometabolic health, manage and prevent heart and metabolic conditions for longevity. By empowering you with the best nutrition knowledge, skills, resources and personalised advice to your needs, you can take charge of your health and wellbeing. Feel more confident, more in control, and ready to take on the world. You can achieve anything you set your mind to. Let’s work together for heart healthy, energised living!
