So here’s an honest answer.
A first appointment is mostly a really good conversation. We go through your symptoms, your medical history, any pathology you’ve had done, and what your day to day life genuinely looks like — because that last part shapes everything.
A plan that doesn’t fit your actual life isn’t going to work, and I’d rather understand your reality properly than hand you something generic.
We also talk about your relationship with food and how eating feels right now. For a lot of people I see, that side of things is carrying more weight than they realise 💬
From there, depending on what’s useful for you, I’ll put together a personalised meal guide with recipe ideas you can actually draw on. It’s not a strict plan you have to follow to the letter. It’s more like a practical starting point that makes sense for your situation.
Most people tell me they leave that first session feeling relieved. Not because everything’s resolved. But because someone finally sat with them, looked at the whole picture, and genuinely understood what had been going on.
If you’re someone who feels like you’ve already tried everything and nothing has stuck, honestly, that’s often where I do some of my best work.
People who come in having already done the research, already tried things, already paid attention to their own body, those appointments tend to go somewhere really meaningful.
A few practical things worth knowing: appointments are 60 minutes, available in-clinic in Brisbane or via telehealth. You can see myself, Michael or Grace depending on what you need. Medicare rebates apply with a GP referral, private health is accepted, DVA Gold Card holders are bulk billed, and we also see clients with NDIS funding.
No referral needed to get started. Link in bio if you’d like to book in 🥳
This is honestly one of the things I hear most in clinic.
Someone comes in and they’ve already done so much. They’ve removed gluten, worked through low FODMAP, cut out dairy. They’ve been told to reduce stress. They’re eating a shorter and shorter list of foods — and they’re more anxious around eating than they’ve ever been.
And they’re still not feeling better.
What I want people to understand is that elimination can be a genuinely useful tool.
But it’s a starting point, not a solution. It tells you what you react to — it doesn’t tell you why you’re reacting. And without that, you end up managing symptoms indefinitely rather than actually addressing what’s going on.
That’s not a personal failing. That’s just a gap in the support most people have been given.
If this sounds familiar, my books are open — as are Michael’s and Grace’s 🧡
We see clients in-clinic in Brisbane and via telehealth anywhere in Australia.

Grace brings a background in complex clinical care, a genuine passion for women’s health, and a deeply personal understanding of what it means to navigate hormonal health.
She has PMOS herself, so when clients come in feeling dismissed or overwhelmed by conflicting advice, she truly gets it.
Her focus areas include women’s hormonal health (PMOS, endometriosis, perimenopause and menopause), sustainable weight management, sports and performance nutrition, chronic disease, and nutrition for longevity and cognitive health.
Grace will be available for telehealth consultations on Thursdays. More details coming soon!
In the meantime, follow along at and DM us if you’d like to be notified when her books open. We’d love to connect you 🤍
For some people, these medications can genuinely improve quality of life - supporting sustainable weight loss, improving blood sugar levels, reducing blood pressure, and helping people feel more in control around food for the first time in years ☺️
But they’re also not magic 🪄
Without working on the foundations (eating regularly, prioritising protein, resistance training, improving your relationship with food, and building realistic habits) there can absolutely be risks of muscle loss, under-eating, and weight regain long term.
This is why the goal should never just be “eat less and lose weight quickly”. It should be improving health in a way that’s sustainable.
And most importantly: there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Choosing whether GLP-1 medications are right for you is incredibly personal and should always be discussed with your GP and healthcare team.
We need less shame, less misinformation, and more balanced conversations around this topic.
If you’re currently on a GLP-1 (or considering one) and want support with protein intake, gut health, sustainable habits, or maintaining muscle mass, feel free to send me a DM or book via the link in bio 🤍
Usually? They need more support.
I see so many women trying to:
• eat less
• skip meals
• cut carbs
• do more cardio
…while feeling exhausted, constantly hungry, struggling with cravings, poor sleep, bloating, low energy, and body composition changes that suddenly feel “out of their control”.
Perimenopause changes a lot physiologically — including muscle mass, insulin sensitivity, appetite regulation, sleep, recovery, and bone health.
Which is why the old “eat less and move more” does not work.
Supporting your body properly with enough protein, fibre, resistance training, consistent meals, sleep, and stress support can make a huge difference 🤍
Michael is one of the warmest clinicians I know. He has this incredible way of making people feel safe, heard and genuinely understood, especially in spaces that can feel really vulnerable and overwhelming for people.
He works a lot in eating disorders, emotional eating, gut health and complex relationships with food, and I honestly think his clients are so lucky to have him in their corner. He cares deeply, advocates fiercely for his patients, and is also incredibly skilled clinically.
Outside of work, he’s one of my closest friends and genuinely one of my greatest supports over the past couple of years. I’m very grateful our paths crossed 💃🏻
If you’ve been looking for support around eating disorders, emotional eating, food anxiety, gut symptoms alongside fear around food, or just want a dietitian who is kind, approachable and genuinely cares, Michael is wonderful at what he does.
You can book with Michael through the link in my bio 🤍
Lately, I’ve been seeing so many people cutting foods out unnecessarily after a bad flare-up or staying on restrictive diets for too long. But more restriction isn’t always the answer.
The gut and brain are deeply connected, and stress, anxiety, and food fear can all play a role in symptoms like bloating, pain, constipation, and diarrhoea. I also see people cutting out all dairy when often it’s lactose — not dairy itself — that’s the issue.
Getting the right support and having a clear plan can make such a difference ✨

Serves 1
Ingredients:
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• 2 small garlic cloves, minced
• 1⁄2 capsicum, chopped
• 3⁄4 can diced tomatoes
• 1⁄2 tsp ground cumin
• 1⁄2 tsp paprika
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp crumbled feta
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh coriander, roughly chopped
• 2 slices of Bürgen Rye bread, cut into strips
• 2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for bread)
Instructions:
1. Heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Sauté onion for 2-3 mins until softened, then add garlic and capsicum, cooking for another 3-4 mins until capsicum softens. Add diced tomatoes, cumin, and paprika; let simmer for 5-6 mins, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Make a well in the centre of the sauce and crack in your egg. Cover the pan and cook for 3-4 mins, or until egg whites are set but yolk is still runny.
3. For the bread, coat both sides of Bürgen Rye strips with olive oil, then toast in a pan over medium heat for about 1 min on each side until crisp and golden.

Let me introduce myself:
☀️I'm Annabel, but you can call me Annie, a passionate Gut Health Dietitian based in Brisbane.
🏕️ Originally from Melbourne, I've always had a deep connection with nature. In fact, 80% of my thoughts are occupied by planning my next rock climbing or camping adventure.
🥘 Travel is my ultimate passion, and Spain holds a special place in my heart. The paella, the vibrant culture, and the beautiful Spanish accent makes it my dream destination.
🧬I happen to be the only red head in my entire family. Reflecting on those year 10 science punnet squares, I'm still undecided if this is a red flag 😉
🚀 Beyond my love for nutrition and helping clients, I also embrace my extraverted side. I've developed a nutrition workshop for companies to enhance their workforce's gut health and overall performance. So, it's like hitting two birds with one stone, right? Stay tuned for more details! 👀
If you're interested in learning more about my services or think we'd make a great team, feel free to send me a DM or check out the links in my bio.
I'd love to connect with you!
Sending lots of love, Annie xx 💚
