Clinical Nutritionist Perth - Expert Support, Without the Overwhelm
Hi, I’m Jess an Accredited Practising Dietitian based in Fremantle, offering nutrition support that’s practical, personalised, and evidence-based.
If you’ve been looking for a clinical nutritionist in Perth, you might be feeling a little confused by all the titles out there - nutritionist, dietitian, holistic nutrition coach… what’s the difference? And how do you know who’s right for you?
Let’s break it down, and I’ll explain how I can help.
1. What Is a Clinical Nutritionist — and How Is It Different From a Dietitian?
In Australia, the term “nutritionist” isn’t legally regulated. That means anyone can call themselves a nutritionist — regardless of their qualifications.
A clinical nutritionist, on the other hand, usually refers to someone with university-level training in human nutrition and the ability to work with clients managing medical conditions.
As an Accredited Practising Dietitian, I hold that training, and more. Dietitians are recognised by Medicare, GPs and hospitals as experts in clinical nutrition. So while I’m sometimes called a clinical nutritionist, I also bring extra tools like:
✔️ The ability to interpret blood tests and medical history
✔️ Experience working with complex conditions and medications
✔️ Access to Medicare and private health rebates
✔️ Evidence-based care - no fads, no confusion
2. How I Use Clinical Nutrition to Support Your Health
You don’t need to be seriously unwell to benefit from clinical nutrition, but if you’re dealing with ongoing symptoms, a diagnosis, or just feel out of balance, working with someone qualified makes a big difference.
I support clients with:
Digestive health (IBS, bloating, reflux, constipation)
Hormonal issues (PCOS, perimenopause, PMS)
Insulin resistance, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes
Food intolerances and inflammation
Fatigue, brain fog, and feeling “off”
My goal is to help you understand what’s happening in your body, and give you practical tools that make a real difference, without cutting out everything you enjoy.
3. Clinical, But Not Cold
Sometimes the word clinical can sound a bit cold or medical, but that’s not my style.
I take a warm, supportive, and non-diet approach. That means:
✔️ You won’t be weighed or judged
✔️ You won’t be handed a strict meal plan
✔️ You will get personalised guidance that fits your life, routine, and goals
Whether you’re managing a condition or just want to feel better in your body, you deserve care that’s grounded in science and delivered with compassion.
