Sydney’s Leading Nutritionist in
Women’s Health and Menopause

Nutritional Matters, was founded by Clinical Nutritionist, Angela Emmerton, who has a special interest in women’s health, weight loss and menopause.

Are you struggling with symptoms such as; weight gain, fatigue, poor digestion or chronic stress? Do you feel like you’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to fit what your body needs?

We all arrive in this world with our own unique DNA. So it makes sense that when it comes to your health, it’s not a case of  ‘one size fits all’.

As a qualified nutritionist with a Bachelor in Nutritional Medicine, my training allows me to understand that everyone’s body is different. Your unique genetics, metabolism, dietary and lifestyle preferences will impact what is best for you.

At Nutritional Matters, you’ll receive diet advice and nutritional recommendations that are tailored to your needs and goals.

By keeping it simple, we can keep you motivated to reach your health goals. Even small tweaks to your diet and lifestyle can manage and even prevent chronic disease long-term.

I’m on a mission to challenge the myth that it’s normal for women in mid-life to deal with problems like digestive issues, insomnia, exhaustion and weight gain. By making small changes, you can experience more energy, sleep soundly, maintain a healthy weight and have a greater sense of wellbeing.

Good nutrition and a balanced approach to food is fundamental to good health. If you’re ready to live your best life, I’m here to help.

What’s the difference between Nutritionists and Dieticians?

Nutritionists and dieticians both practice evidence-based medicine and hold the same overarching vision – better health and wellbeing for all.

Dieticians treat a range of medical conditions, through nutritional therapy, translating dietary information into calorie-controlled diet plans for clients, to address his or her health goals. Dieticians will often treat fussy eaters or eating disorders.

Nutritionists draw on a holistic approach to healing which takes into account the whole person – mind, body and spirit. Nutritionists primarily manage the incidence of preventable lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, with diet and lifestyle modifications. Nutritionists will tailor nutrient-dense dietary plans,  focusing on macro’s (protein, carbohydrates, and fat) for each individual. Nutritionists can also prescribe nutrients, minerals and vitamins and refer clients for pathology testing and / or functional lab testing, such as; hormone testing (thyroid, cortisol, etc.),  neurotransmitters, GUT micro biome, DNA, Omega3, etc.
