University Qualified Nutritionist (ANut) & Practicing Midwife Specialising in Women's Health Nutrition; periods, performance, preconception, pregnancy & beyond

As a dedicated Clinical Nutritionist, I am passionate about educating and empowering individuals to optimise their health through the power of food. With a strong belief that nutrition is the foundation for lifelong vitality, I support clients in achieving both mental and physical wellbeing across all stages of life, from adolescence to healthy ageing. My approach is evidence-based, compassionate, and client-centred. I work closely with individuals to understand their unique needs, challenges, and goals, creating personalised nutrition strategies that not only address current health concerns but also build lasting habits for sustainable wellness. With a special focus on the connection between nutrition, mood, and energy, I help clients make informed choices that support mental clarity, resilience, and physical performance. Whether managing stress, navigating hormonal shifts, addressing chronic conditions, or simply seeking to feel better in everyday life, I believe that food can be your most powerful tool for transformation. Through education, collaboration, and practical guidance, I aim to help every client discover how to fuel their body and mind to truly thrive.

Georgia Betts is a Melbourne based clinical nutritionist specialising in nutritional medicine and tailored therapeutic meal plans.

Georgia’s philosophy is simple: eating should be enjoyable, nourishing and non-restrictive. Georgia is highly skilled at identifying the root cause of health conditions, by taking a comprehensive case history, analysing pathology tests and interrupting functional and integrative tests. Georgia then uses food-as-medicine and nutraceutical supplementation in a personalised treatment plan to support the body back to health. Amongst all the “fads” and “diets” out there, Georgia delivers sustainable, evidence-based nutrition solutions. She is extremely passionate about the power of clinical food therapy that is grounded in quality science. Georgia has a natural ability to connect with her clients and understand their individual health goals. She also acknowledges the strong correlation between mental health and physical health. Georgia considers all of these aspects of health holistically when creating personalised treatment plans.
