Julia Piccinini, APD, RDN Dietitian

Overview

I am an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) who possesses over a decade of experience in the field of nutrition, ranging from work in both clinical and private practice settings. This has provided me with a diverse and vast knowledge in dietetics to support my patients and all of their specific needs. I particularly enjoy transforming people’s relationships with food and helping individuals to make positive and sustainable lifestyle changes. Moreover, I am extremely passionate about delivering the highest level of care by providing personalised evidence-based nutrition advice to my patients to help them reach their desired outcomes in a supportive, collaborative, and empathetic manner. My special interests include: -Sustainable Weight Management   -Bariatric Surgery -Mindful Eating -Body Image Concerns -Binge Eating -Cardiometabolic Health (High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, High Triglycerides, Insulin Resistance, Metabolic Syndrome, Pre-Diabetes, Diabetes and Fatty Liver Disease) -Women’s Health and Hormone Nutrition (PCOS, Endometriosis, Pregnancy, Postpartum and Menopause) -Digestive/Gastrointestinal Disorders (IBS, Celiac Disease, Reflux, Allergies and Intolerances) What to expect in your consultations: In the initial consultation, I conduct a comprehensive nutrition assessment, which includes obtaining relevant background information related to your specific nutrition concerns. From there, we will work together on a plan to reach your goals in a way that works for you. As goals are typically best met with accountability and support, I recommend follow-up consultations 1-2 weeks after your initial appointment and then additional follow-up consultations based upon your specific needs. I currently provide dietetic consultations via telehealth (phone and video conferencing). Please use my e-mail to schedule a consultation with me.
