What if the food you’re eating every day is actually working against you?
What if it’s not that your body is broken but that it’s never been properly supported?
Most clients I work with aren’t doing anything wrong. They’re eating well, cutting foods out, trying to be healthy, yet still dealing with bloating, exhaustion, stubborn weight gain, and feeling completely out of sync with their body.
They’ve been told it’s normal. That it’s just hormones, stress, or age. That they need to try harder.
But deep down, they know something isn’t right.
I know that feeling because I’ve lived it.
Hi, I'm Lee , Townsville Nutritionist & Founder of Wellness By Nutrition
I'm a university-qualified Clinical Nutritionist and Certified Metabolic Balance® Practitioner based in Townsville, Queensland. I work with local clients in person by arrangement, and with women and men all across Australia via Telehealth.
I help people struggling with stubborn weight gain, bloating, hormonal imbalances, and low energy finally understand what their body actually needs so they can feel like themselves again. Because i have been where you are now and I know what it feels like to battle with your health.
Why I Became a Nutritionist
My journey into nutrition didn't start in a textbook, it started with my own health struggles.
About ten plus years ago, I became really sick, and it crippled my life. I couldn't attend work, socialise, or live any part of my everyday lifestyle. After seeing numerous specialists who had no answers, I decided the only person who would help me was myself. I was my own best advocate.
I started changing what I ate to rebuild my body from the inside out. From that, I realised just how important it is to know what we put into our bodies and it set me on the path to becoming a nutritionist. So I returned to university and completed my Bachelor's degree in Nutrition.
Along the way, my passion for food as medicine was really ignited. I also have a food intolerance myself, so I genuinely feel for those navigating intolerances and allergies. I know the challenges you face, because I've faced them too. That experience changed my life and now I'm on a path to help others do the same.
My Philosophy
I don't believe in restrictive diets, quick fixes, or one-size-fits-all plans, because your body is unique and deserves better than that.
Instead, I focus on supporting your metabolism, balancing your blood sugar, and nourishing your body properly. Because when your body feels safe and truly supported, everything starts to change.
