Expert Nutrition Advice from an Accredited Practicing Dietitian: Your Partner in Health and Wellness
APDs are dietitians that undertake ongoing training and education programs to ensure they are your most up-to-date
and credible source of nutrition information. They are highly trained to translate scientific nutrition information into
personalized dietary advice in order to promote health, prevent and treat diseases.
APDs understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to diet and nutrition
(in other words, what works for one person may be different to what works for another). And the
truth is that there are many ways for people to have a healthy diet.
And it’s at this individual level that an APD can help. They consider the whole person – that is,
each person’s unique profile, such as their medical history, as well as their needs, goals and
lifestyle. They also assess the body of scientific evidence, and are flexible with the advice and
support they offer, on a case-by-case basis.
Being able to tailor nutrition advice to find the best approach for each person is the cornerstone
of ‘Medical Nutrition Therapy’ – it’s what APDs are qualified to do.
