Kerry O’Bryan is an experienced Sports Dietitian, Strength and Conditioning Coach, and University Lecturer who is extremely passionate about performance health and longevity, specifically for men – developing adolescent, athlete, men’s health, through to men in their 70’s!   Currently working with Queensland Academy of Sport and Bond University, over the past 13 years Kerry has worked with many sporting teams and organisations (see below) within networks of highly skilled multi-disciplinary practitioners, with the unified goal of – Performance Health.    Performance health is a concept that advocates a person must first be “healthy” (mental/mood, metabolic & physical) to be able to perform at their best. Performance health is relevant for any person of any background and is certainly not limited to physical performance. While this may sound obvious, the reality is that today we face many social and environmental barriers/challenges that prevent us from achieving optimal health.   Nutrition and exercise play a critical role in supporting an individuals’ health, and our ability to perform at our best. Performance goals vary from person to person, and can be applicable to many areas of life, work, or sporting performance –   ·       Increased corporate mental performance ·       Favourable body composition change (e.g. sustainable weight loss, building or retaining muscle mass) ·       Recovery from injury or surgery ·       Ageing better ·       Improved sexual function / hormonal health ·       Optimal growth & development for adolescent ·       Peak athletic performance   “Doesn’t matter whether you’re an athlete or bloke over 60 – I apply the same process of elite support using the best tools available. There is so much more we can do to monitor and improve our metabolic health and performance, in a space that has become very noisy with mixed messages, failed efforts and false hope.” With the right system that combines expert knowledge, tools, skills, and planning, you can be confident that you are putting your valuable time, energy and focus into the best approach to health and longevity that moves you toward achieving your goals.

Hello! I help adults with gut issues who feel confused and restricted around food find relief and freedom using a personalised, root-cause approach - even if you're still searching for answers and don't know where to start. My passion for nutrition was ignited while attempting to improve my own health, and now I'll use everything I learned along the way to help you. Persistent health problems which aren't taken seriously by other health professionals can be very frustrating, but that's why I will work with you to find the balance between managing your symptoms and having as much variety in your diet as possible. I'll also look for the "why" behind your symptoms so that the root cause can addressed, leading to a better health outcome for you in the long-term. I can help you with irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel diseases (e.g. Crohn's and ulcerative colitis), SIBO, reflux, coeliac disease, gastroparesis, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation and fatty liver disease. Otherwise, if you'd just like to improve your general health and wellbeing, I can help you with that from a gut health perspective. Some things to keep in mind about my approach: • I might recommend over-the-counter or practitioner-only supplements to help with your condition or control your symptoms. However, I don't advocate for using supplements long-term unless you have a health condition/requirement which means you will require long-term therapy • I take into account drug-nutrient interactions with the medications and supplements you are taking • I consider vitamin/mineral deficiencies as possible causes for your symptoms. I might recommend blood tests to look for any suspected deficiencies, and to get these bulk-billed, you will need to request the tests from your GP • I DON'T take a non-diet approach for weight loss - I will recommend a specific eating plan or food swaps to create a calorie deficit • I DON'T do microbiome testing, as not only are they very expensive, but the current evidence suggests that they are not at an appropriate level to inform therapy in patients
