Choosing the right health professional can make all the difference.
A Personal Trainer, Nutritionist and Dietitian all play valuable roles, but their scope of practice is different.
• An Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) is the expert for medical nutrition therapy, chronic disease management, food allergies, gastrointestinal conditions and complex clinical nutrition.
• A qualified Nutritionist can provide evidence-based education around healthy eating, prevention and wellbeing.
• An AUSactive Registered Personal Trainer helps you move better, become stronger and build sustainable habits. We can provide evidence-based nutrition guidance within our scope of practice, support healthy behaviour change and know when it’s appropriate to refer you to another health professional.
The best outcomes often come from collaboration. As a trainer, my goal isn’t to know everything. It’s to coach you safely, help you build lifelong exercise habits and work alongside other qualified professionals whenever needed.
If you’re unsure where to start, send me a message. I’ll help point you in the right direction, even if that means referring you to someone else.
