Delina Rahmate BHSc. Nutritional Medicine<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I love helping people to achieve their very best life filled with health and happiness<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What drives me every day is to help people understand their bodies and to empower them to make the changes needed for optimal health – I\u2019m wholly motivated to continually learn and understand the complexities of what makes us work. As a practitioner I come from a place of deep curiosity and empathy.<\/p>\n

My health journey has not always been smooth sailing, I have suffered with debilitating gut issues, allergies, thyroid and other hormone problems, deep fatigue and the subsequent brain affects of anxiety, low mood and brain fog. Intuitively I always knew that to get to the core of my issues I would have to take a deep dive into health. I knew that allopathic medicine was great at treating symptoms but not really getting to the root cause, hence I began my journey into nutritional medicine.<\/p>\n

My Career Pathway<\/h3>\n

I started my career as a Registered Nurse eventually finding my true place in preventative health. I love exercise, and my passion for health and fitness led me into the fitness industry where I worked as a fitness instructor, personal trainer and a teacher delivering fitness courses. I eventually set up my own Registered Training Organisation delivering qualifications in Fitness and Personal Training. Meanwhile I was studying Nutritional Medicine on the side as I knew this was essential to health and vitality, completing my degree in 2014.<\/p>\n

I have lived and worked on the Gold Coast<\/a> and Northern NSW<\/a> for over 20 years. With my qualifications, I have a comprehensive knowledge of health, nutrition and fitness. My expertise in these areas allows me to combine my knowledge to develop specialised nutrition plans personalised to suit the individual. I operate both online and from my clinic in Cudgen, Northern NSW just 10 minutes from the Gold Coast and consult for a range of clients with a variety of conditions, disorders and needs.<\/p>\n

As a clinical nutritionist I incorporate research and evidence-based medicine integrated with traditional food wisdom to help motivate individuals to eat well and live healthier lives.<\/p>\n

I have also been a successful elite ultra-runner, multiple Ironman<\/a> finisher and cyclist. In 2018, I competed internationally in the CCC 100km trail race at UTMB<\/a>.\u00a0 I was third woman at the 2017 Buffalo Stampede 75km Trail Run, first woman home at the 2015 Alpine Challenge<\/a> 100km Ultra Marathon and 2012 Three Peaks<\/a> 235km cycling challenge along with many other podium finishes including multiple Gold Coast Kokoda<\/a> 96km Challenges.<\/p>\n
