Dietary Management
Our dietitians offer a highly personalised and compassionate approach to supporting your health and weight-related goals. They begin by respecting your autonomy, helping you explore a range of strategies; whether lifestyle-based, surgical, or medication-supported, tailored to your preferences. Within your chosen path, they guide you through the many available options, recognising that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.
They specialise in navigating complex health conditions that may affect your diet, and work with you to develop flexible, diverse eating strategies that support both your nutritional needs and weight goals. Their approach also focuses on restoring your enjoyment of food through intuitive eating, helping you build trust in your body’s signals. They integrate dietary advice with broader lifestyle strategies for a holistic approach to care.
With the expertise and empathy of Drs Kerith Duncanson and Georgina Williams, you’ll receive expert guidance that also supports symptom management, ensuring you get the most benefit from any medical or surgical interventions while minimising side effects.
