LISA DONALDSON APD- Founder of FEEDinc. 2010
Accredited Practising Dietitian, Accredited Nutritionist, Sports Dietitian, Educator & DAA Media Spokesperson
Ever since I can remember, fresh produce has been a huge part of my life. My parents were hard working greengrocers in a small country town. I was their youngest, often found hiding in the cool room eating all the apricots.
I grew up wanting to teach people. So at 18, I moved away to become a school teacher. I loved being a teacher.
In 2004 my life changed. I got diagnosed with a number of health conditions that required me to change the way I ate. Diagnosed with Coeliac Disease, Lactose Intolerance and an allergy to kiwi fruit; I was confused about what I could eat and my gut was a painful mess. I knew to fully understand, I needed to learn. So I ventured back to university to study once more.
Today, I am still a teacher... a teacher of health, nourishment and wellness. Being able to help others feel their absolute best is such a privilege.
I believe in eating close to nature, but that doesn't mean you cannot enjoy the occasional treat. It's about 'making a date' with the decadent and never feeling guilty about food. Food is as much about pleasure as it is about nutrition.
When I am not in the clinic, I am busy running seminars and giving key note addresses. I am also a media spokesperson for the Dietitians Association of Australia and can often be found in local schools dressed up as The Food Detective. Being able to communicate via the media is always a wonderful opportunity. You can see what I have been up to here.
Today I have a Team of amazing Dietitians & a Diabetes Educator here at FEEDinc. Take a look at their bios. A Team with heart, experience and empathy. We are all here to help you. Lisa Xx
