HELPING YOU TO IMPROVED GUT HEALTH

Our gastro dietitians are all about helping you to set and strive towards your food and nutrition goals. We want food to help you improve your quality of life – not be a stress or hindrance. 

 

Our gastro dietitians focus on gut symptoms and conditions.  They specialise in translating the latest evidence and research into practical, personalised dietary advice and strategies.

 

We conduct our appointments in Charlestown (Newcastle, NSW) from January 2024 and via video. This enables us to assist people from most locations throughout Australia. 

Dr Georgina Williams has experience in public and private practice dietetics. She completed a PhD investigating wholegrains and fibre in gastrointestinal health and diseases. Georgina bring expertise in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD) and metabolic syndrome from her research into these conditions. Her other interest area is using whole foods for improving gut health. Georgina is available for gastro dietetics video consultations.

Dr Kerith Duncanson brings 30 years of dietetics experience and extensive digestive health research to our team. She specialises in functional gut conditions (irritable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia) and using dietary approaches to resolve complex, longstanding gut symptoms like diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, wind and pain. Kerith has published extensively and is the author of these peer-reviewed publications. Kerith is available for gastro dietetics video consultations

A 'healthy' gut microbiome likely looks different for every single person. 🦠

Just as each person's genes are unique to them, the microbes in the gut are also specific to every individual. 

For example, the same bacteria species may behave very differently in the gut of different people and so what a 'healthy' microbiome looks like for one person, will be different to what it looks like for the next.

Because of this uniqueness, certain foods likely affect each persons gut microbiome differently, which may lead to different health effects. This means that dietary recommendations in the future may be personalised to each person,  based on their unique gut microbiome.

The truth is that the main job of the liver is cleansing, including mopping up and deactivating toxins in the body. It is a natural ‘cleanser’ so does not need ‘cleansing’. 

To ensure your liver is in optimal ‘cleansing’ mode, eat a Mediterranean-style diet with plenty of vegetables, nuts, olive oil and seafood, moderate amounts of fruit and lean proteins, with minimal saturated fats and added sugars (especially fructose).
