Dietetics in Traditional Chinese Medicine

***Please contact Dr. Rebecca Brook directly to organise this appointment at Christies Beach, or even online!

Dr. Rebecca Brook, our resident Acupuncturist and Dr. of Chinese Medicine now has a dietetics service to offer patients.

Perfect for those who need more detail about food, and how food can work for you, not against you!

If you are spending precious attention & money on supplements/treatments/fad diets/juice diets/intermittent fasting, then invest in the importance of getting the diet right!

In general acupuncture consults, Bec gives some nutritional advice. However these sessions provide focused attention on

  • WHAT you are eating eg cold smoothies, alot of raw food

  • WHY you are eating certain foods eg cravings, for energy, habit

  • WHEN you are eating eg skipping breakfast, eating late at night

  • HOW you are eating eg rushed, don’t sit and ingest food in a relaxed state

Common conditions that might benefit from a dietetics plan include, but are not limited to

  • chronic conditions

  • systemic inflammation

  • skin conditions

  • hormonal complaints eg PMS, cyclical changes

  • digestive upsets or conditions, such as IBS, Crohns etc

  • bloating or food intolerances

  • bowel changes, constipation or diarrhoea (or fluctuations between the two)

  • insomnia, irregular sleep patterns, waking at night or hard to fall asleep

  • pregnancy care and postpartum dietetics, the first 40 days…

  • hair loss

  • chronic pain conditions

  • hormonal changes

  • preconception/fertility care

  • mental health

  • and just about anything else!

As a guide, your Chinese Dietetics Consult package consists of

  • Initial Chinese Dietetics Consult (50mins) with extensive plan sent after your session

  • A follow up REVIEW consult, 2wks after your initial (30mins)

  • Subsequent REVIEW consults can be booked for amendments/adjustments and will be advised as needed

Rebecca is available for dietetics consultations and will provide a dietary and practical treatment plan for your particular health concern.
