Francis Berman believes that good nutrition is a cornerstone of a good life!
Francis Berman has a holistic approach to nutrition and wellbeing in support of living a good life - a life characterised by health and wellbeing, good relationship dynamics and the ability to take advantage of opportunities when on offer. Having recently moved to the beautiful and chilled area of Byron Bay for the good life, Francis now offers virtual nutrition consultations.
Her approach to nutrition is built on the belief that ‘food is medicine’ and the body has an incredible ability to correct itself through shifts in diet and lifestyle with the support of supplements where necessary. She knows the way in which we eat and what we eat is not the same for everyone and nutritional guidance must be tailored to individual needs.
Eating habits are also often tied to emotional and psychological triggers and habits so Francis applies her skill here, to support you in making active healthy changes in a realistic and sustainable way.
Francis also has a focused interest on the gut/brain connection, addressing digestive disorders as well as anxiety and depression.
Qualified in clinical nutrition with advanced diplomas in Clinical Nutrition and in Integrative Nutritional Therapeutics, Francis is determined to find the root cause and empower you to take charge of your health and daily nutritional wellness.

What Does Nutrition Care Involve?
It is helpful to know what foods are healthy and what you can do to ensure you eat the healthiest diet possible. Having a variety of foods, eating regular meals, including whole grains, fibre, fruit and vegetables, and limiting the amount of fat, sugar, salt and alcohol are all recommended for good nutrition.
Each client is unique and receives a treatment specifically tailored to empower them to take charge of their own health.
Clinical Nutrition consultations with Francis incorporate comprehensive case taking to gather all relevant information to ensure your treatment is fully individualised to you.
A holistic approach is followed together with consideration to all the interconnected body systems - making sure to tackle the underlying cause, rather than simply suppressing symptoms that would inevitably resurface later.
Food as medicine is utilised first and foremost and supplements are considered where necessary. And to gain an even deeper knowledge of your body, functional testing may be conducted for in person appointments.
