About Me

Elly McKenzie

Hi, I’m Elly — a university qualified nutritionist. 

Inspired by my family’s journey with coeliac disease and food sensitivities, I love helping people of all ages navigate life with these conditions.

I also enjoy working with clients who are looking to improve their diet/gut health, or address nutrition-related health concerns, such as high blood pressure or cholesterol.

If you spend hours searching the internet for information, are confused about what your next steps should be, or are struggling with gut symptoms, then get in touch. Whether it’s in person or remotely, I can help set you on the right track.

Hear from some of my happy clients.

It took me a while to get on top of the whole food trial thing with my son — Elly was incredible. I'm so grateful for the advice I received on how to actually live this, how to feed my son and how to shop safely for him. Elly deserves a lot of the credit for my son’s new-found health. He has normal bowel motions, he’s energetic, has great skin, pink cheeks and his asthma is so much better. Mary

I've been a coeliac for 20 years and can't believe Elly had more to teach me about reading food labels. I no longer have to memorise food additive numbers. To think there are gluten free foods I've been missing out on all these years! I highly recommend the 'Is it gluten free?' online label-reading course to all coeliacs.
