Cardiometabolic Dietitian - Dr Rebecca Luong (Heart & Metabolic Health Nutrition)

Hi, I'm Dr Rebecca Luong, the Cardiometabolic Dietitian, an Accredited Practising Dietitian, and Sports Dietitian.

I love food and have always been fascinated by its power with an unwavering curiosity about its science. Whilst studying food science, I worked as a medical receptionist at a clinic. It was here that I saw firsthand the importance of taking care of our bodies and the incredible opportunity to help individuals along their health journey.

This inspired me to pursue a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics to combine my love of food with my passion for health. I immediately began helping clients improve their health, and also worked in various areas of dietetics including clinical dietetics, community health, nutrition research, supermarket nutrition, and academia, to gain a better understanding of how it all comes together to provide the best practical and personalised nutrition solutions.

Through my work, I have seen a concerning rise in cardiometabolic conditions that often present together and impact individuals' day-to-day lives including high cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood pressure, abdominal adiposity, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, ultimately leading to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, the related condition of fatty liver,  shortened healthspan and life expectancy. Determined to make a difference and translate science to the highest quality evidence-based nutrition advice, I pursued a Doctor of Philosophy in Cardiometabolic Health. I have learned that when implemented correctly you can start seeing changes in as little as 1-4 weeks.
