What nutritional issues can Didi help with?
Weight management
Do you live with overweight or obesity and are you eager to work with a dietitian to find healthy lifestyle options that work for you? I will work with you to plan for strategies that suit your tastes, lifestyle and past experiences. Together, we will find ways to overcome the struggles and obstacles that you may face, and build on sustainable and do-able habits.
Gut Health
Do you struggle with constipation or diarrhoea? Or are you looking for ways to manage your irritable bowel syndrome (including Low FODMAP diet), coeliac disease, reflux, gastritis or other gut condition? I can help you find the root cause of your problem and work with you to put YOU back in control of your symptoms!
Heart Healthy diets
Recently diagnosed with high cholesterol or high blood pressure? Are you looking for ways to eat for a healthy heart? Dietitian Didi will help you learn about the critical way in which your diet affects your heart health, and tailor a plan to suit your needs!
Neurological conditions
Are you experiencing a neurological condition that affects your eating and swallowing? Dietitian Didi has significant experience in working with people with conditions such as Parkinsons Disease, Motor Neurone Disease and Multiple Sclerosis from her time working in the area of neurology in a Dublin hospital.
Healthy Ageing
Our nutrition needs can change as we age, and keeping up with a healthy diet can help you towards maintaining your health, mobility and vitality. Find out more today about how Dietitian Didi can help you or a loved one use healthy nutrition to promote healthy ageing! Didi worked in the area of “medicine for the Elderly” in hospitals and long-term care settings across Ireland.
Poor Appetite
Unfortunately, 1 in 4 people admitted to Irish hospitals is at risk of malnutrition, and this is putting us at risk of infection, reduced mobility and poor skin healing. We can work with you to make the most of your food and nutrition when your appetite is poor. Didi can work alongside your doctors and therapy team to help you maintain and improve your nutritional health.
Healthy Eating
While many of us know the basics of healthy eating, it can be very useful to speak to a dietitian to help you find ways to implement them. We can help you identify the facts from the fads, and can make suggestions on how to improve your diet for your health.
Plant-based diets
Are you eager to move to a more plant-based diet? Flexitarian, vegetarian and vegan diets are on the rise, and are shown to be beneficial for both our health and our planet. Didi herself is striving to eat more sustainably, and can help you to make sure your diet is meeting all your nutrition needs.
Intuitive eating
Many of us struggle with a complicated relationship with food and our bodies. Didi can help you to tune back in to your hunger/satiety cues and help you delve into the thought-processes behind your emotional and stress eating.
And more!
I know how tough it is to make changes to our diet and lifestyle.
Busy schedules, competing priorities and now social distancing…
You have obstacles to eating healthily that are UNIQUE to YOU.
No standard nutrition plan or diet has worked because it just didn’t fit into your life and didn’t understand your struggles.
How can Didi help me?
Didi is a Wicklow-based dietitian with over 7 years experience in helping people reach their own personal nutrition goals. She continues to work as a senior dietitian in a clinical setting in Dublin and Wicklow, and has run private dietitian clinics across Ireland – and now online!
Together, we will throw standardised plans out the window.
Instead we will focus on you, your life and your needs
