How I Can Help You
Let’s work together on your goal of taking control and living a healthy lifestyle.
About Pippa Mullins
I have a BSc in Dietetics through the University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg. More recently, I specialized in “Sports Nutrition” through the International Olympic Committee. Dietetics aims for optimal health and disease prevention for an improved quality of life. It is not only about weight loss and ‘looking good’ which is the general public’s opinion. My aim as a dietitian, is to help each person apply the evidence-based science of nutrition in a challenging modern world where convenience and instant gratification seems to take preference over wellness.
My clients are the best part of my job!
They inspire me, challenge me, amaze me with their stories as well as giving me such valuable perspective that can only make me a better person and dietitian.
One-on-One Consultations
FIRST CONSULTATION (1 HOUR):
This is a comprehensive nutrition assessment, which includes:
- Medical history & family history
- Detailed diet history looking at food preferences, food patterns, food likes/ dislikes, allergies & intolerances
- Health & nutritional status
- Weight & body composition
- Supplement review (e.g. vitamin & minerals or sports supplements)
- If any blood tests are required, you provide a blood test form.
Nutrition-related concerns that you have will also be discussed.
Vitality Members receive 1000 points for this appointment.
SECOND CONSULTATION (30 MINUTES):
This consultation is for you to receive your meal plan (it is mandatory) and will be a few days after the first consultation. The dietician will explain the eating plan and guidelines in detail as well as how the information is to be applied to day to day living. You will also receive some healthy recipes.
FOLLOW-UP CONSULTATIONS (30 MINUTES):
Research has shown that people who attend regular follow-up sessions are more likely to be successful in achieving their health and nutrition goals. The frequency of your follow-up consultations is variable depending on your needs and your dietician will discuss this with you.
Body Composition Assessments
There is nowhere to hide with this test! Measure your body fat and muscle mass, and how it is distributed in your body. It is a powerful test to keep you motivated and show progress on your eating and training journey.
Discovery Vitality Assessments
Discovery Vitality Members can earn 1000 Vitality Points once off for any consultation with a dietitian registered with the HPCSA, that is 30 minutes or longer in duration.
DNA Profiling
The DNA profiling can be done as part of the standard appointments or on their own (without a personalised eating plan). The results provide further insight into your predispositions. Additional time for 1st and 2nd appointments will be required for feedback on results. The cost will depend on the tests you have selected.
Weight Loss Challenges
Participate in a carefully designed and developed challenge that focuses on weight loss.
Nutritional Talks & Presentations
