Our Philosophy and Approach is simple – encompassing Six Critical Components to Combat Type 2 Diabetes
Purpose
Knowing ‘why’ you want to improve your health is one of the most important (and often overlooked) steps in your wellness journey. That’s because identifying purpose and connecting to your deeper ‘why’ means you’re more likely to feel motivated to reach your goals, and to keep going – even when you face challenges along the way.
Strategy
Once you’ve joined the program, your accredited dietitian and health coach will work with you to identify the goals most important to you. Then we develop a strategy for success, ensuring it’s not only individualised to you, but is also holistic, enjoyable and most importantly – sustainable in the long term. As part of the strategy, you’ll also receive personalised advice based on your recent health markers e.g. your HbA1c, so your strategy is personalised to your current condition and nutritional and health needs.
Accountability
During your 26 week program, you’ll have fortnightly calls with your dedicated dietitian and health coach. This is designed to help you stay motivated and accountable to your goals. It’s also a time for you to ask questions, discuss any roadblocks, and ensure you are giving yourself the best chance to achieve results. Plus, you’ll also gain access to tools such as daily tracking in our all-inclusive app and an online support group to boost accountability and motivation.
Mindset
At Diabetes Wellness Australia, we understand how important mindset is to achieving success and long-term behaviour change. That’s why our team of dietitians have undergone additional training as accredited Health Coaches to further help transform your mindset and create healthy habits that last.
During your weekly calls, your dietitian will work with you to adopt a growth mindset to help you create new habits, overcome obstacles and build self confidence and sense of worth. If you believe you can, you will.
Nutrition
Our accredited dietitians and health coaches take a non-diet approach to eating, helping to manage your blood sugar levels, and work towards diabetes remission without giving up the foods you love. Each week, you’ll work with your dietitian to not only set goals, but to build your knowledge and skills around nutrition and to understand what works best for you. This way, you can make healthier choices you’ll enjoy and improve your relationship with food.
Movement
Moving your body is one of the best things you can do to improve your health, manage your diabetes and reduce your risk of disease. However, what’s more important is engaging in movement that you enjoy – as you’re more likely to be consistent with it now, and in the future. When you join our 26 week program, your dietitian will work with you to find a routine that’s simple, and enjoyable for you. Plus, you also have the option to receive a personalised exercise program designed by our Exercise Physiologist.
