ABOUT
Sascha McMeekin
Accredited Practising Dietitian
I have developed my specialisation in managing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and optimising gut health over the past 15 years. I am an Accredited Practising Dietitian and a Monash Certified FODMAP Dietitian.
My career has included extensive work in the research and hospital setting. I have travelled across the world for work, most notably to lead the functional gut disorder outpatient clinics at London Bridge Hospital, and to the Noisy Guts research team at the University of Western Australia lead by Nobel Laureate Barry Marshall.
My priority is to always provide the highest quality of clinical care. That means making recommendations based on science and in a way that considers your individual needs and goals. I aim to provide calm, qualified advice to bring real improvements to your health and wellbeing.
I have equipped myself with the skills to deliver the latest, research-based dietary advice for the effective management of many conditions. I continue to extend her knowledge and skills in regular professional development and is an active member of Dietitians Australia.
I have a caring and supportive approach backed by my extensive knowledge of nutrition. I am passionate about supporting my clients to get the best results possible. Find out how I can help you today by clicking the button below.
