About Feed Your Fuel
Founded in 2016 by Cati Pearson, New Zealand Registered Dietitian, to provide people across the Bay of Plenty with evidence based, up to date nutritional advice. Working under the guidance of the New Zealand Dietitians Board and the Dietitians NZ body, we aim to provide evidenced based and comprehensive advice personalised to your individual needs.

What is a Weight Neutral Practitioner?
A weight neutral practitioner realises that weight loss is not possible for everybody, and thank keeping it off is often harder than losing it. We follow the notion that there is health at every size and that the best way to improve health is to adopt habits that accept the natural diversity of people.
​
Rather than controlling weight we look at eating in a flexible manner that values pleasure and follows your internal cues for hunger, satiety and appetite, promoting healthy relationships with food, your body and yourself!

Our Aim 
We realise that nutrition and healthy eating are the cornerstone for nearly all health and medical conditions. If we do not have the basics correct, we are unable to maintain our health. Therefore Feed Your Fuel doesn't treat your symptoms with pills, shakes or fad diets, but rather looks at the underlying root cause to provide personalised nutrition advice for optimal health and wellness. Our plans work in conjunction with your normal day to day life, resulting in lifelong healthy lifestyle habits. 
​
Why a Dietitian?
Dietitians have to have some form of post graduate study in Dietetics from a reputable University (Masters or PhD). They are registered to the governing body and are audited on a regular basis to make sure all educations and practice follow up to date, evidenced based advice which meet the recommended standard.

Anyone can call themselves a Nutritionist. Nutritionists do not have to have any formal training. While there are some great nutritionists registered under the Nutrition Society of NZ. Those that are not part of the Society have no regulation of practice or training.
