Accredited Practising Dietitian
Alongside our medical team, NUYU clients have access to personalised nutrition support from Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD), Dr Kerith Duncanson and her team.
Kerith understands that every person has a unique relationship with food, different health goals, and their own journey to better health. Her approach combines evidence-based nutrition care with empathy, helping clients develop sustainable eating habits that support long-term weight loss, improved health and lasting confidence.
Expertise with Empathy
Kerith brings extensive dietetic experience, along with advanced training in motivational interviewing and counselling. She and her team provide evidence-based nutrition support tailored to each individual’s needs. Beyond simply advising on nutrition, Kerith can guide NUYU clients to understand and optimise their relationship with food, make sustainable changes, and build the confidence to maintain new lifestyle habits for life.
Each of us has unique food preferences, and a different food journey. The aim is to build your kitbag of skills and resources to nurture new food-related habits - from purchasing food to meal prep, balancing energy and nutrient intake, mindful eating and meal-time routines.
Exclusive NUYU Client Support
As well as easy access to Kerith during NUYU clinic days and coffee mornings, NUYU clients can access additional dietetic support designed to maximise results and create sustainable, long-term change.
