Dietetics done differently.

Rachel Armstrong, APD

I’m Rachel your neurodivergent dietitian! I have been working as a dietitian since 2018 in areas including sports nutrition, private practice and disability. I am most passionate about working with neurodivergent people of all ages to help them with the wide variety of challenges they face surrounding food. I also have additional training in feeding therapy, gut health and food intolerances.

In my practice, I focus on functional outcomes and overall health rather than the number on the scale. Every body is different and we shouldn’t expect them to conform to outdated standards.

Get to know me

When I’m not working you can find me playing games on my Nintendo Switch, supporting local music, listening to fantasy audiobooks or spending time with my little human.

Before I was a dietitian I worked in quality control for a celebrity chef and in a chocolate factory! My favourite colours are green and rose gold.

My qualifications and additional study include:

  • Bachelor of Nutrition and Food Science, UniSA

  • Master of Dietetics, UniSA

  • SOS Approach to Feeding

  • SOS Food Scientist Model

  • Low FODMAP Diet, Monash University
