Meet Rachel, The DNA Dietitian®
Board-certified RD MSc PGDip BSc
Hi, I’m Rachel, a nutrigenomic Dietitian fascinated with all things science, diet, and DNA.
My goal is to enlighten as many people as I can with the right nutrition, tailored specifically to their unique DNA, so they can live their best life.
It was my own life journey, that led me to my career as a Dietitian. I was overwhelmed with all the conflicting information out there, and it was exhausting trying all the latest fads to no avail. I was unhappy with my figure, had low energy, and felt totally defeated by the world of wellness.
After over a decade later, and extensive training and research into inflammation, genetics, and nutrition, I had mastered my quest to wellness. I personalised my own diet based on my DNA, and I’ve never felt better about myself, both inside and outside.
What’s even better is that you too, can also look and feel your best. I’ve created a framework for my patients to Eat The DNA Way® according to their own unique requirements.
