Our dietitians have different areas of interest and expertise. If you're unsure who would be the best fit for your needs, text 0489 954 146 or email us at info@metabolichealthnutrition.com.au and we'll help match you with the most suitable dietitian.
WHAT IS METABOLIC HEALTH?
Metabolic health refers to how well your body manages key processes like blood sugar regulation, blood pressure, and fat storage. When these systems are working well, your body is more efficient, your energy is steady, you are able to maintain a healthy weight, and your risk of chronic disease is lower.
On the flip side, poor metabolic health can show up as metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk factors that indicate the body is struggling with insulin sensitivity and metabolic regulation. It's diagnosed when at least three of the following are present:
-
Abdominal obesity (excess fat around the midsection)
-
High blood pressure
-
High triglycerides
-
Low HDL cholesterol
-
Elevated fasting blood glucose
Metabolic syndrome significantly increases the risk of developing chronic conditions and can make it very difficult to lose weight.
OUR PRACTITIONERS
Cassidy Dodson (APD)
Cassidy is an Accredited Practicing Dietitian (APD) specialising in metabolic health and chronic disease prevention. She is passionate about the education of proper nutrition, and offering practical strategies to support long-term health. She has a particular interest in cholesterol management, including low HDL, elevated triglycerides and interpreting more detailed lipid testing such as LDL lipid subfraction analysis. She takes a broader view of cardiovascular and metabolic health, considering the full lipid profile alongside other relevant metabolic markers rather than focusing on a single result in isolation.
She also has experience working with clients following animal-based and carnivore-style diets, helping them optimise their nutritional intake while working towards their individual health goals.
Cassidy believes nutrition is one of the most powerful tools we have to help prevent and manage chronic disease. Her goal is to help you use nutrition proactively, so you can better understand your health and take practical steps before issues progress.
Whether you're managing an existing diagnosis or looking to prevent future health issues, Cassidy can help you take clear, achievable steps towards better health.

Nikita Deo (APD)
Nikita is an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) with over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate their health through practical, evidence-based nutrition. She recognises that nutrition isn't one-size-fits-all. Whether clients are managing a chronic health condition or simply looking to feel better in their day-to-day lives, her goal is to provide practical, realistic strategies that fit seamlessly into their lifestyles.
Nikita views health through a whole-person lens. Food connects to every part of our lives - our energy, mental clarity, social routines, and cultural identity. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all meal plans, she works collaboratively with clients to understand their lifestyles, stress levels, and personal goals. Together, they create a compassionate, balanced roadmap that nourishes both physical health and overall quality of life.
Over the last 10+ years across Australia and New Zealand, Nikita has worked closely with clients in primary care, community health, and virtual settings. Her clinical focus includes:
-
Cardiometabolic Health: Type 2 diabetes management, heart health, blood pressure, and metabolic wellness.
-
Gastrointestinal Health: Gut health, food sensitivities, and digestive support.
-
Sustainable Weight & Lifestyle Management: Empowering long-term behaviour change through supportive coaching and motivational interviewing.
-
Men’s & Women’s Health: Supporting hormonal balance, sexual dysfunction issues, energy and vitality, and gender-specific health and nutrition considerations across different life stages.
Nikita believes that sustainable health comes from understanding each individual's unique body,
culture, and daily routine.
