Shelly is a true foodie – she loves cooking, creating new recipes and experimenting in the kitchen.

What Shelly has to say:

“I have a great passion for nutrition and dietetics and I firmly believe that your body thanks you when you nourish it in the right way. “Right” means different things for different people, and individualisation is my primary goal. I have special interests in clinical nutrition, chronic diseases, IBS and gut health, weight loss, paediatrics and nutrigenomics.

I am forever looking for new research to be the best dietitian I can possibly be. My dream is to help patients reach their goals, no matter how big or small. I want to hold their hand on their journey with food – taking all aspects of health into consideration.”

Maryke Gallagher is a registered dietitian nutritionist with 17 years of combined experience in private practice, research, lecturing, and consulting to the industry. She has a personalised, holistic, and evidence-based approach to nutrition therapy using functional nutrition principles.

She believes in preventative nutrition practices that address key cellular functions and systems to help the body function optimally, as well as manage chronic disease. Providing patients with practical guidance to nutrition and lifestyle changes is important to achieve lasting results.

Whole foods that are regeneratively produced, therefore good for the earth and the people that live on it, form the basis of a diet that helps the body function the way it should and is a key principle underlying her nutrition approach.
