Lauren has supported me through 2x Ironman 70.3s, 2x standard triathlons, 1x marathon and my first Ironman. The confidence I gained was knowing my body was being looked after — correct fuelling meant I could breeze through changing training loads with no injuries and minimal fatigue. She creates a race day fuel plan specific to how your body responds, and carries herself with so much kindness. Couldn't recommend UP Dietitian enough.

I approached Lauren after chronic cramping and poor nutrition during my first 70.3. Since then she's done my fuelling plan for 3x Ironman 70.3s, 3x Ironman (NZ, Austria, Challenge Roth), Ultraman Australia and the Rottnest Channel Swim Solo. Lauren is the best in the business — professional, personable and knows exactly how to tailor a strategy for you. I'd never go into a race without her guidance.

Lauren has helped me through back-to-back professional fight camps and made keeping on top of nutrition in and out of camp so easy. Weight cutting in combat sports can be dangerous and Lauren always keeps my health at the centre of our work. She's educated me on fuelling correctly to perform at my best while maintaining a positive body image — something I felt strongly about. If you have Lauren in your corner, you'll achieve your goals.

I engaged with Lauren before my first triathlon at T100 Gold Coast after realising my sessions were always cut short or completed with poor execution. Lauren has completely changed my life with how I fuel for races and how I fuel for overall wellbeing. I've since signed up for Cairns Ironman and Lauren will be on board — I can't wait to see how well I perform with the best nutrition under her guidance. I no longer worry about cutting sessions short or gut problems. My nutrition levelled UP ✅

Perth dietitian FAQ

Common
questions

Do I need a referral to see a dietitian?

No. You can book with UP Dietitian directly, with no GP referral needed. If you're not sure where to start, book a free 15-minute discovery call first.

Can I claim with my private health insurance?

Yes. Private health rebates are available with participating health funds. How much you get back depends on your fund and level of cover, so it's worth checking with your insurer before your appointment.

Where can I see a dietitian in person in Perth?

Lauren consults in person two days a week at Front Runner Physiotherapy, 2/16 Baden Street, Osborne Park WA. In-person appointments are booked directly through Front Runner Physiotherapy.

Can I see a dietitian online?

Yes. Initial and review consultations are available online via Zoom, so you can work with Lauren from anywhere in Australia or overseas. Ongoing coaching check-ins run over Zoom or phone.

What does a sports dietitian do?

A sports dietitian helps you eat and fuel for training, competition and recovery. That covers everyday eating, fuelling before, during and after sessions, race-day and carbohydrate-loading plans, hydration, supplements, gut issues and body composition, all built around your sport and schedule.

Do I need to be an elite athlete?

Not at all. Lauren works with everyday to elite athletes, from people training for their first event to professional competitors, across endurance, team, weight-category and strength sports. She also helps with injury recovery, body composition, gut issues and coeliac disease.

What's the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?

In Australia, Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) is the national credential for dietitians, run by Dietitians Australia. APDs hold a university qualification in dietetics and complete ongoing professional development, and it's the credential private health funds recognise for rebates. "Nutritionist" isn't a protected title. Lauren is an APD.

How long is a consultation?

Initial and review consultations are 30 minutes, in person or online. Before you commit, you can book a free 15-minute discovery call to talk through your goals.
