About Me.

Hi, I’m Nereda.

I'm a Registered Nutritionist with a Master's degree in Nutrition, and I like nutrition. I just don't think it needs to take over your life.

I've worked in nutrition for a number of years, and the longer I do this, the more convinced I become that good nutrition is remarkably unremarkable. Some times it’s downright boring.

Most people don't need another diet, more food rules or a cupboard full of supplements. They need to know whether they're eating enough of what matters, where there are genuine gaps, and what changes are actually worth making.

Because knowing more about nutrition doesn't necessarily make eating easier.

I haven't always worked this way.

Many years ago, I created a six-week nutrition program. On paper, it made perfect business sense. Package up what I knew, market it, take people through the program and repeat. Unfortunately, I became spectacularly bored. I got bored marketing the same thing over and over again. Then I got bored having very similar conversations with clients each week. I didn't know I had ADHD at the time, but in hindsight, designing myself a highly repetitive business model wasn't one of my more strategically brilliant decisions.

It was also the beginning of my interest in a different question.

Not simply: Can I tell someone what to eat?

But: What does someone need to understand and be able to do so they eventually don't need me telling them what to eat? Or how do I become redundant to you …or at least am only needed when a new problem that needs solving emerges.

That question has shaped the way I practise today.

What I do now.

I help people work out what they're already doing well, what may be missing, and what actually matters for their health, life stage and lifestyle.

Sometimes that means changing what you're eating.

Sometimes it means learning a few practical skills.

Sometimes it means working out why knowing what to do hasn't translated into actually doing it.

And sometimes my job is simply to tell you that the thing you've been worrying about really doesn't matter very much.

I've also built the Well Fuel'd Evidence Engine to support this work — an evidence-based system that helps me analyse someone's nutrition against Australian food-composition data, nutrition recommendations and high-level research.

The technology does the number crunching.

I do the interpreting.

Because nutrition recommendations only become useful when they work in someone's actual life.

What I'm not trying to do.

I'm not interested in optimising every mouthful you eat.

I don't sell supplements, receive commissions from supplement companies or have a preferred protein powder waiting in the wings. And my goal isn't to make you dependent on seeing a nutritionist indefinitely.

I'd much rather help you understand what matters, give you practical ways of doing it, and eventually have you think:

“I've got this”

Because I think that's what good nutrition support should ultimately do.

A little about my background.

I hold a Master of Nutrition and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Movement and am a Registered Nutritionist. I have also completed my Masters of Professional Psychology and work as a Provisional Psychologist - this means I am working under supervision for a year before becoming a Registered Psychologist.

My nutrition and psychology work are separate practices, but studying human behaviour has inevitably influenced the questions I ask about eating — particularly why perfectly sensible nutrition advice can be remarkably difficult to implement in real life.

I work with adults across different life stages, including midlife and menopause, as well as adolescents and families navigating the additional demands of fuelling young athletes.

Mostly, though, I help people make nutrition feel considerably less complicated.

Work out what matters. Ignore what doesn't. Eat food. Get on with your life.
