MEET GOLD COAST DIETITIAN MICHAELA

Michaela Dietitian The Wellness Emporium Burleigh Heads

Qualifications: APD, BNutrDiet

Hi! I’m Michaela, an Accredited Practising Dietitian.

With a deep passion for food, health, and community, my journey into nutrition started in the heart of a small country town, where I grew up surrounded by nature, fresh produce, and strong community connections. Watching food grow from seed to plate instilled in me a profound appreciation for nourishment and well-being—an appreciation that now shapes my approach as a dietitian.

My philosophy is centred on fostering a positive and joyful relationship with food, free from guilt, shame, or judgement. I believe that true wellness comes from a balanced, sustainable approach—one that honours both evidence-based nutrition and the realities of everyday life. Through personalised, practical strategies, I support my clients in achieving their health goals with confidence and clarity.

I have extensive experience in clinical nutrition, working with individuals managing diabetes, kidney disease, high blood pressure, heart disease, and weight concerns. I also have a strong interest in gut health, women’s health, and sports nutrition, helping clients navigate digestive concerns, reproductive health, and optimised performance. Whether it’s addressing food intolerances or fine-tuning nutrition for athletic goals, my approach is always tailored to each individual’s needs.

Beyond the science of nutrition, I believe food is deeply connected to our culture, emotions, and overall well-being. My work extends beyond meal plans and guidelines—I strive to empower individuals to feel nourished, confident, and in control of their health while embracing the joy of food.

I’d love to be part of your journey to better health. Let’s take the next step together!

March is here, and it’s the perfect time to rese March is here, and it’s the perfect time to reset and focus on the things that actually make a difference in how you feel every day. Let’s talk about simple, sustainable habits that support your body and mind. 🧘‍♀️💪 🔥 Move daily. It doesn’t have to be an intense workout—just get your body moving. A walk, a stretch session, lifting weights—whatever works for you. 😴 Prioritize rest. Stress is not your friend, and burnout is not a badge of honor. Protect your peace, slow down when needed, and give yourself permission to recharge. 💧 More water, less caffeine. Hydration affects everything—from your energy levels to digestion and even skin health. Start your morning with water before reaching for coffee. 🥗 Eat real food, not processed. Your body thrives on whole, nutrient-dense foods. Fuel it with things that nourish, not just things that fill. 📊 Track your cycle and moods. Understanding your body’s natural rhythms can help you optimize workouts, productivity, and overall well-being. 📱 Cut down on scroll time. Set boundaries with social media—it’s meant to be a tool, not a time thief. Less scrolling, more living. ✨ Stick to your skincare routine. Not for trends, but because taking care of yourself is an act of self-respect. 👭 Support another woman. Community over competition, always. A kind word, a recommendation, a check-in—it all matters. Start small. Stay consistent. These habits build the foundation for a healthier, stronger version of YOU. What’s one goal you’re focusing on this month? Let’s talk in the comments! ⬇️💬 #MarchGoals #WellnessJourney #HealthyHabits #WomensHealth #SelfCareRituals #MindBodyBalance #GlowFromWithin #DailyWellness #StrongerEveryDay #FitnessAndWellness #HealthyLivingTips #mentalwellnessmatters
Women's health doesn’t always get the attention Women's health doesn’t always get the attention it deserves, but it plays such a huge role in how we feel, think, and move through life. This month, we’re diving into the things that really matter when it comes to women’s health—from understanding the vaginal microbiome to shedding light on hormonal imbalances that so many women silently deal with. It’s also Endometriosis Awareness Month, so we’re talking about invisible conditions that often go unnoticed or misunderstood. From PCOS and perimenopause to menstrual health and mood swings, these are topics that deserve more open conversations. And let’s not forget how important it is to embrace our feminine energy—it’s not just about physical health but also about connection, self-awareness, and empowerment. This isn’t about quick fixes or overnight changes. It’s about creating awareness, having honest conversations, and finding ways to feel more connected to your body. Let’s normalize talking about these issues because the more we know, the better we can care for ourselves and others. What’s something you’ve been curious about or want to learn more about when it comes to hormonal health?

For accurate results, I always recommend:� ⏰ D For accurate results, I always recommend:� ⏰ Doing your blood test first thing in the morning.� 🍳 Fasting beforehand (no food, coffee, or supplements).�🏃 ‍♀️ Avoiding exercise before your test. And consistency is key! Always aim to test at the same time of day every time you repeat your blood tests so your results are comparable. When it comes to hormone testing, timing becomes even more critical. The number of times I’ve seen women test hormones at any random time in their cycle… it’s a missed opportunity! 🙅‍♀️ For example, if you’re assessing progesterone, you’ll want to test 7 days after ovulation to get a true picture of your levels. The takeaway? A little planning goes a long way for accurate insights into your health. 💡�💬 Got questions? Our naturopaths are here to guide you.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the highlight r It’s so easy to get caught up in the highlight reels of social media or someone else’s achievements and start doubting your own progress. The truth is, comparison can be a joy-killer, and breaking free from it takes intentional effort. Here’s the thing—comparison isn’t always obvious. Sometimes, it’s subtle: a fleeting thought when you see someone’s “perfect” vacation or their new promotion. But those moments stack up, and before you know it, you’re questioning your worth. Life is too short to spend it measuring yourself against someone else’s success. Focus on your progress, celebrate your wins, and remind yourself that you’re exactly where you need to be. What’s one way you remind yourself to stay focused on your journey? Let’s talk about it below. #StopComparing #PersonalGrowth #SelfAcceptance #MindfulLiving #GratitudePractice #MentalHealthMatters #SocialMediaDetox #FocusOnYourself #ConfidenceBuilding #InnerPeace

In a world where biohacking, supplements, and quic In a world where biohacking, supplements, and quick fixes seem to dominate the health landscape, it’s easy to overlook the simple yet powerful foundations that truly shape our wellbeing. 🌱 Diet – It’s more than just calories; it’s about nourishing your body with whole, nutrient-dense foods that support your long-term health.� 💧 Hydration – Water isn’t just essential for survival; it fuels every system in your body—from digestion to cognitive function.� 🌞 Sunshine – Beyond the vitamin D boost, spending time in natural light enhances mood, energy, and overall vitality.� 🌟 Movement – Movement keeps our bodies functioning optimally, helping to reduce stress, improve circulation, and maintain a healthy weight. While biohacking can offer quick wins, they can’t replace the consistency of foundational practices like sleep, hydration, and balanced nutrition. These basics create the solid ground upon which health and vitality thrive. So, let’s focus on these essentials first, and use biohacking as an occasional complement—not the core of our health journey. What’s one foundational habit you’re focusing on right now?

🌿 Nature has a way of refreshing our minds and 🌿 Nature has a way of refreshing our minds and re-energizing our spirits. If you’re looking for ways to make the outdoors a bigger part of your daily life, here are three simple ideas to inspire you: 1️⃣ Turn Catch-Ups into Walks Meeting a friend or having a casual work meeting? Skip the coffee shop or office and opt for a walk in nature instead. Strolling through a park or along a trail not only boosts your physical health but also allows for deeper conversations and creative thinking. Plus, the change of scenery can work wonders for your mood. 2️⃣ Start or End Your Day in Nature Before or after work, take a moment to transition your mind and body by spending time in a natural space. Whether it’s a nearby lake, beach, park, or forest, being surrounded by greenery or water helps you reset, recharge, and approach the day (or evening) with clarity and calmness. These transition exercises are a powerful way to create balance in your routine. 3️⃣ Find Nature in Your Everyday Not every moment in nature has to be planned. Look for ways to integrate the outdoors into your routine—take your lunch break outside, do a quick stretch in the garden, or even listen to the sounds of nature while on a short walk. Small, mindful moments can have a big impact on your well-being. ✨ Nature isn’t just a place to visit; it’s a space to reconnect, recharge, and realign. By making small adjustments to your daily habits, you can create meaningful opportunities to spend more time outdoors. #thewellnessemporium #goldcoast #mermaidbeach #Burleighheads #naturopathy #naturopath #pscyhologist #healthadvice #goldcoastpsychologist #goldcoastnaturopath #psychology
Stress isn’t just a “feeling” it’s a full- Stress isn’t just a “feeling” it’s a full-body experience that affects almost every part of you. Let’s break it down, coffee in hand. Your brain? That constant worrying makes it harder to focus, brings anxiety, and leaves you feeling mentally foggy. Those moments where you can’t remember what you were doing? Stress plays a big role. Your skin gets hit, too. Breakouts, dry patches, or even hair loss? Stress increases oil production, leading to acne, while also drying out your skin and making nails brittle. Your gut? Stress disrupts digestion, causing bloating, constipation, and discomfort. It even interferes with nutrient absorption, which impacts your energy and overall health. And your heart? Chronic stress raises blood pressure and cholesterol, increasing your risk of heart attack or stroke over time. It doesn’t stop there – your hormones get thrown off, suppressing ovulation or sperm production, which can impact fertility. Even your joints and muscles feel the weight. Ever noticed tension in your shoulders or random aches after a tough day? That’s stress driving inflammation and tension in your body. The good news? You don’t have to stay stuck in this cycle. Simple changes – like breathing exercises, better sleep, or even stepping outside for fresh air – can help your body handle stress better. So, what’s your go-to stress relief method? Share it in the comments – your tip might help someone else today. Let’s start a conversation about taking care of ourselves. #StressManagement #MentalHealthAwareness #HealthyLifestyle #SelfCareTips #WellnessJourney #GutHealthMatters #MindAndBodyBalance #StressReliefIdeas #MentalClarity #holisticwellness
