Our Approach to Chronic Conditions and Nutrition
Best Dietitian Support for Chronic Condition Management
The Connection Between Diet and Chronic Conditions
Nutrition plays a crucial role in the management of chronic disease conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. A balanced diet provides the foundations for the management of most chronic conditions, followed by an individualised approach to optimise each individual’s diet for their specific chronic health conditions.
Our Process
At Verde, we start with a thorough initial assessment to understand your dietary habits, lifestyle, and health needs. Based on this assessment, we create a personalised nutrition plan that fits your lifestyle and supports your short and long-term health goals. Our dietitians provide continuous support and adjustments to ensure your plan evolves with your progress.
Collaborative Care
We believe in a holistic approach to your health. Our dietitians work closely with your specialists, GPs, and other healthcare providers to create a comprehensive care plan that addresses all aspects of your overall well-being. This collaborative approach ensures that you receive the best possible support for your journey to good health.

Success Story
Transforming Lives with Nutrition
Following a routine blood test, Mr. K was referred by his GP for management of high cholesterol and obesity. He had never seen a dietitian before and reports his only knowledge of cholesterol was reducing his intake of fried foods. He currently travels regularly for work where he has limited control over his food choices.
Working with Mr. K, we developed a personalised plan to support the management of his elevated cholesterol and obesity including:
- Optimising dietary intake for cholesterol by:
- Reducing his intake of saturated fats by reducing intake of red/processed meats, reducing pastries and highly processed snacks
- Increasing intake of healthy fats such as oily fish, avocado, nuts and seeds
- Increasing his intake of soluble by swapping from processed to wholegrain carbohydrates such as oats, increasing his intake of legumes, and increasing his intake of fruit and vegetables
- Developing a simple plan for meals and snacks which can be tweaked while travelling to ensure consistency of his food choices
- Increasing regularity of meals and snacks to improve energy levels, concentration and reduce over-eating at night
After three months, Mr. K saw significant improvements
- Outcome 1: Gradual reduction in total cholesterol, including an improvement in HDL (good cholesterol)
- Outcome 2: Improved energy throughout the afternoons and reduced cravings for high sugar snacks
- Outcome 3: Increased confidence in his ability to make better choices while travelling and challenge his prior all-or-nothing approach to his dietary intake
- Outcome 4: Gradual weight loss and maintenance of these changes (following previous difficulty maintaining weight loss)
