An online programme that focusses on more than just weight loss!

Gut Health

Several of our 10 habits are linked to improved gut symptoms such as constipation and bloating. They are also linked to healthier gut microbiomes.

Heart Health

Heart health and healthy diets go hand in hand. Several of the habits are shown through research to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and reduce cholesterol levels.

Mindset

We know that the right mindset is half the battle when building healthy habits. And we also know that our mindset around food can hugely impact our food choices and our relationship with food.

Inflammation

Various foods and dietary patterns are effective in reducing the underlying inflammatory processes of chronic disease. Several of the habits in this course also form key components of anti-inflammatory diet recommendations.

The 5 week online programme,
run by a registered dietitian/nutritionist,
for those of us who want to START taking charge
of our diet and lifestyle!

Why START not STOP?

While most of us chose to “give up” something to get healthier, research shows that we are far more likely to maintain a change if we “START” a healthier habit. Positive mindset is key here. And the research is out – Wording really DOES make a difference. So join me in STARTING 10 new habits, and notice how much easier it is to maintain these changes!

Is this course for me?

Are you sick of trying another fad diet, with strict rules of what not to eat and what not to do? Are you keen to start building a healthy diet and lifestyle based on evidence and facts? Are you looking for support from a registered dietetic professional and from a group of like-minded people? Then this course if for you!

What will I get in this virtual programme?

You will get a chance to start 10 habits over 5 weeks! You will receive 2 live seminars with a registered dietitian, 10 videos explaining each habit, access to a closed online community where we will share more content and support and a live group question and answer session with your dietitian.

Is this a weight-loss course?

Yes and No. This course is focussed on building diet and lifestyle habits that are known, through research, to promote health and wellbeing. These habits are used successfully for weight-loss, but have also been linked to reduced risks of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain types of cancer. They will also aim to help you build a healthier relationship with food and improve gut health!

Start 10 new healthy diet and lifestyle habits in 5 weeks!

Busy schedules, competing priorities and now social distancing…

We should not be adding more restrictions to our life! 

No standard nutrition plan or diet has worked because it did not appreciate the value of STARTING a new habit rather than adding even more restrictions to our diet and lifestyle.

How can Didi help me?

Didi is a registered dietitian based in Ireland with over 5 years experience in helping people reach their own personal nutrition goals. She continues to work as a senior dietitian in a large acute Dublin Hospital, and has run private dietitian clinics across Ireland – and now online! She knows first-hand the struggles people face when trying to “give-up” another life-long habit.

Together, we will ignore those messages of what to “give-up” this New Year.

Instead we will focus on starting new healthy habits together and appreciate the incredible power of eating more – not less.

What People say about Didi - Registered Dietitian

For the first time in my life, diet is no longer a churn of lenghty measuring of boring food. Didi doesn't care only to keep you healthy, but also to keep you motivated. Her suggestions are actionable and easy to adopt; plus her explanations made me way more sensitive to what happens in my belly. 
Massimo
Client with Didi in Dublin Clinic for over 1 year
 I really enjoyed my initial consultation with Didi. She found what knowledge I already had and built on that and decided a plan to show me how to best practice that. I am really looking forward to our next session to really delve in to the other areas of healthy eating.

Didi helped me tackle my bloating and IBS. She was professional and taught me a lot about how to listen to my gut and how to eat in a way to reduce my bloating. She was always happy to answer my questions and I was glad that I felt that nothing was too embarassing to discuss. She made me feel welcome and listened to.
Ellen
Client who completed Online gut health programme
Didi was attentive, specific, mindful, helpful & someone I would recommend.

Virtual Client for gut health sessions
I definitely would recommend to anyone interested in changing eating habits. I like the non-judgemental long-term approach as opposed to focussing on weight-loss and a non-sustainable approach.

I am enjoying our meetings and I’m appreciating the results too. Thanks Didi.
