Meet Lauren Maskell, B.sc. M.Diet. APD.
Everyone is different.
So why would one diet fit all? The easy answer to that is - it doesn't. Food is delicious and should be enjoyed!
Lauren wants to guide you towards finding the most enjoyable, sustainable and healthy way to reach your nutrition goals whether that be to eat a little healthier, manage your weight, improve performance or support your journey with specific diets such as FODMAP, gluten-free, vegan/vegetarian and combinations of these.
Meet Lauren.
A foodie through and through! Originally from Sydney, she started her career in hospitality but wanted to take her love for food to the next level. Lauren decided to pack up and move to Melbourne, Australia's food capital, to study Food Science and Nutrition. She believes in a client-centred, tailored, evidence based, lifestyle approach with a firm belief that small changes lead to long term results.
Expertise
Lauren currently works within the aged care sector for Vivir Healthcare providing in-home dietetic care and clinical dietetic services for aged care facilities throughout Southeast Melbourne where she is passionate about advocating for residents' nutritional needs.
Laurens' other dietetic passions include support for weight management, performance nutrition and support for those choosing or required to follow specific diets particularly FODMAP, gluten free, vegan/vegetarian and combinations of these. Lauren runs her own private practice within a gym where she specialises in these areas.Lauren is also an author and content creator for The FODMAP Challenge which allows her to share her keen interest, knowledge and understanding of IBS and the FODMAP diet.
The fun stuff.
When not in her office or the kitchen whipping up new recipes whilst singing Disney songs (painfully out of tune) you’ll find her out in nature. Being active outdoors is her favourite past time, despite living in freezing cold Victoria! Hiking and camping around Victoria or playing soccer with her local club (Chelsea FC) are some of her favourite past times. Her goal is to one day complete the South Coast Track in Tasmania. She’s also hooked on a good looking sunset and is never too far from a beach and loves living by the sea.
