Jaclyn Cooper

I decided in my early 20’s that I wanted to be a dietitian because I am passionate about food, passionate about health, and I love to eat. So off I went to Griffith University for a challenging, albeit rewarding five years of full time study. In 2011 I graduated with a Bachelor of Public Health and in 2013 graduated with a Masters of Nutrition and Dietetics.

I love working with my patient’s one on one to help them make positive changes to improve their health through their relationship with food. With so much conflicting diet advice out there as well as a myriad of extreme diets available (think the lemon detox diet) it is easy to see why people are struggling with food and starting to see it more as foe than friend. I am here to help clear some of these misconceptions up and improve this relationship.

I see a variety of patients each day and know that a one size fits all diet does not work. My advice is tailored to your specific health needs as well as your lifestyle and level of motivation. From helping a diabetic patient control their blood sugar levels to helping patients to decrease their cholesterol levels or increase their iron stores, no day is the same.
