Nutrition for Children and Teenagers

We can provide you with the right nutritional help for your child or teenager

We understand that it may feel overwhelming to translate the nutrition information that is out there and that’s where we can help you.

We can help you navigate nutrition information and provide you and your family with support and recommendations that will suit you and your child/teenagers growing needs.

Our dietitians are qualified in current best practices with the Dietitians Association of Australia and our priority is to ensure all feel comfortable, cared for, and empowered to achieve a better health outcome.

Weight management in children and teenagers is a worldwide health issue and the impacts on physical, social, and emotional health may be carried through into adulthood if left unidentified.

Weight-related health problems in children include:

• stress on bones and joints, especially in hips, legs, and ankles
• snoring and sleep apnoea
• insulin resistance
• type 2 diabetes
• high blood pressure
• high cholesterol
• fatty liver
• low self-esteem and behavioral problems
• disengagement in physical activity and sports in general
• child or teenager may obtain misguided nutrition advice and embark on a non-conventional dietary plan

We can work together and support you with the best strategies for lifestyle and family goals that will get your child/teenager results for the long-term.
