Question 1

What does a clinical nutritionist actually do?

Accepted Answer

A clinical nutritionist looks at your symptoms, health history, current diet, medications and pathology together, and builds a nutrition strategy around what is realistic for you. Ola is an Accredited Member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society and works alongside your GP, not instead of them.

Question 2

Do you consult in person in Cammeray, or online?

Accepted Answer

Every consultation is online, by video, anywhere in Australia. The practice is based in Cammeray on Sydney's Lower North Shore.

Question 3

What happens in the free 15 minute health assessment?

Accepted Answer

A short call to talk through your main concerns, ask questions about consultations, programs or testing, and work out which one is the right next step. It does not include a clinical assessment, a nutrition plan, a pathology review or supplement recommendations.

Question 4

How much is an initial consultation?

Accepted Answer

An initial nutrition consultation is A$225 and runs for 90 minutes. Follow-up consultations are A$115. A personalised 7-day meal plan is A$160.

Question 5

Can nutrition support help with SIBO?

Accepted Answer

Nutrition support cannot replace medical care for SIBO, and it is not a substitute for testing or for your doctor's plan. What it can do is shape what you eat during each phase, support digestion and motility, and help you rebuild afterwards. Ola is a SIBO-Certified Nutritionist trained through Dr Nirala Jacobi's SIBO Mastery Program.

Question 6

Can you support thyroid health through nutrition?

Accepted Answer

Nutrition support is available for medically diagnosed Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism and health after thyroid surgery. The focus is on nutrients involved in thyroid function, gut health and reading your pathology alongside your symptoms. It sits alongside the care your doctor provides, including any medication.

Question 7

Do you speak Polish?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ola is Polish-Australian and consults in both English and Polish.

Question 8

What do I need to have ready before my first consultation?

Accepted Answer

Any recent pathology results, a list of your current medications and supplements, and a rough sense of what you eat in a typical week. If you do not have pathology, that is fine, and it is something we can discuss.
