Mental Health Clinical Nutrition
Nutrition plays a vital role in mental health. Our Clinical Nutritionist adopts a trauma-informed, neuroaffirming, and weight-inclusive approach to care. She works with clients to identify and address metabolic, genetic, and biochemical factors that may influence mental well-being, and through personalised, compassionate interventions, empowers clients to take charge of their health and achieve lasting improvements—regardless of body size, ability, or diagnosis.
Who Can Benefit?
Our Clinical Nutrition and Exercise Physiology services are ideal for individuals managing:
- Anxiety and Depression
- Stress and Burnout
- Eating Disorders
- PTSD and Trauma Recovery
- ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or ME/CFS
- Hormonal imbalances (eg. PMS, PMDD)
- Chronic Pain and Fatigue
- Sleep Disorders
- Low Motivation and Energy Levels
What to Expect:
- Comprehensive Assessment: Explore how diet, lifestyle, health history and lived experiences influence your well-being, within a non-judgemental, affirming and inclusive framework.
- Tailored Investigations: Recommendations may include food diaries, specialised testing (e.g., blood, stool, or genetic analyses), or other assessments, always guided by respectful care and a commitment to health enhancement rather than weight control.
- Personalised Plan: Receive practical, evidence-based dietary and therapeutic supplement plans tailored to your specific needs – focusing on well-being, flexibility and individualisation, rather than restrictive or externally controlled eating approaches.
- Ongoing Support: As you achieve your goals, transition to self-management with expert guidance to sustain your progress. Our approach respects your autonomy, body diversity, and individual goals, with care that promotes long-term empowerment and health.
Practitioner-Recommended Supplements
For your convenience, we offer access to two secure online dispensary platforms: Vital.ly and Ariya Health. These platforms allow clients to order high-quality practitioner-only supplements directly, with delivery to your door.
If your practitioner has recommended therapeutic supplements as part of your care plan, they may create a personalised prescription and guide you through how to access them online. Vital.ly allows you to register and link your account to your practitioner, while Ariya Health requires us to create an account on your behalf and send you a link to activate it.
Just like if we were dispensing products from our clinic, a portion of the sale price returns to Thrive Wellness. However, we choose to pass on a portion of this benefit to our clients—so you can access products at prices below standard retail.
This small margin helps to cover the time our practitioners invest behind the scenes—researching products, checking for medication or nutrient interactions, and tailoring recommendations specifically to your needs. Rather than billing separately for this time, this approach helps to keep appointment costs as low as possible.
There is no obligation to purchase products through these platforms. You’re welcome to save or print your online prescription and take it to a local pharmacy or health food store that stocks practitioner brands. However, please avoid brand or product substitutions. Different formulations often contain varied nutrient forms, strengths, or excipients, and the specific products recommended have been carefully selected for your individual needs.
We choose to use online dispensaries instead of stocking products on-site to support a more personalised and flexible prescribing approach—ensuring recommendations are based on what’s best for you, not what’s on the shelf.
For NDIS participants, all therapeutic recommendations and care planning are fully covered by your plan, and any prescribed products are provided at cost with no markup.
