Meet Tanya


Tanya Carter BHSc
Clinical Nutritionist
Tanya is a qualified Clinical Nutritionist with a passion for helping people understand how they can optimise their health with their food and nutritional components of food.
She has a strong belief in the power of nutrition as a foundation for good health, taking a food-first approach prescribing simple, nutrient-dense foods, alongside targeted nutritional support where appropriate. Tanya also considers environmental circumstances; stress, travel, work, sleep, exercise and recovery influencing how well the body digests, absorbs and utilizes nutrients. She evaluates the whole picture to prescribe realistic and personal strategies.
She has a particular interest in:
-
Gut health and digestive function
-
Liver health and the gut-liver connection
-
Healthy weight, blood sugar regulation and metabolic wellbeing
-
Nutrition for performance and longevity
Tanya's role is to help you understand what your body may be communicating, identify where support is needed, and develop practical strategies to help you feel and function at your best using food as medicine.
Tanya consults from Hygea Apothecary in Newcastle on Wednesdays.
