Nutritionist Canberra ACT
Lisa Snowdon is a Clinical Nutritionist providing online consultations to clients across Canberra and the ACT. She specialises in gut health (IBS, SIBO, leaky gut), weight loss, and functional nutrition for people who’ve already seen their GP and done their own research — and still don’t have a clear plan.
All consultations run via Zoom or phone. Every program, including Metabolic Balance® and the 8-Week Gut Fix, is fully available to Canberra clients with no compromise on care.

What Lisa Treats
Most Canberra clients come to Lisa for one of three reasons: gut problems that haven’t been properly diagnosed or managed, weight that won’t shift despite their best efforts, or chronic fatigue with no clear cause. Often two of those are connected.
Gut Health & Digestive Disorders
IBS diagnosis and management — structured protocols, not just symptom management - SIBO testing and treatment — hydrogen breath testing guidance and targeted nutrition protocols - Gut microbiome restoration — food-first approach with targeted supplementation where needed - Food intolerance identification — finding your specific triggers, not a blanket elimination diet - Low FODMAP implementation — Monash University certified, properly supervised and personalised

Weight Loss
Canberra’s professional culture — desk work, long hours, high-responsibility roles and the psychological pressure that comes with them — creates a specific pattern of weight gain that generic diet plans don’t address. Lisa’s approach starts from your actual blood chemistry, not population averages.
- Metabolic Balance® Program — personalised nutrition built from your blood test results; metabolic recalibration, not a diet
- Sustainable weight management — built around how you actually live, not an aspirational version of your life
- Blood sugar regulation — stabilising the glucose rollercoaster that drives afternoon cravings and energy crashes
- Sugar dependency — practical strategies for breaking the cycle without relying on willpower
Functional Medicine & Women’s Health
Chronic fatigue and low energy — when tiredness isn’t explained by your sleep or your schedule - Epstein-Barr virus and post-viral fatigue — targeted nutritional support for recovery - Thyroid health — nutritional co-factors and dietary support for optimal thyroid function - Perimenopause and hormonal health — PCOS, hormonal weight gain, and the nutritional side of midlife hormonal change - Cholesterol and cardiovascular nutrition — evidence-based dietary intervention, not standard advice
How Online Consultations Work
There’s no physical clinic in Canberra, but that doesn’t change what Lisa can offer you. Consultations run via Zoom video or phone — whichever you prefer.
- Initial consultation: 60–90 minutes covering your full health history, current symptoms, dietary patterns, and any existing test results
- Follow-up appointments: 30–45 minutes to review progress and adjust your protocols
- Test interpretation: Lisa can review existing pathology results or refer you for targeted testing through your GP where needed
- Program delivery: Metabolic Balance®, 8-Week Gut Fix, and Low FODMAP protocols are all fully available online
Most Canberra clients find the online format suits them well — no commute, no parking, and appointments that fit around Canberra’s working patterns.
Why Work with Lisa
14 years in clinical practice. Lisa is a working clinician who takes complex cases seriously — not a wellness coach with a certificate. She’s been treating IBS, SIBO, and metabolic dysfunction since before it became mainstream.
- Certified Metabolic Balance® Practitioner
- Monash University Low FODMAP Certified
- Functional Medicine trained
- 14+ years clinical experience treating digestive and metabolic conditions
There are no standard protocols handed to everyone with IBS or everyone trying to lose weight. The starting point is your full health history, your bloodwork, and an honest conversation about what’s actually driving your symptoms.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment: - Full health and symptom history — not a 10-minute overview - Review of any existing blood tests, or guidance on what to request from your GP - A clear picture of what’s driving your symptoms - A practical plan built around how you actually live - Follow-up support as you implement changes
Featured Programs
12-Week Fuel & Nourish with Metabolic Balance®
Lisa’s flagship weight loss program. It starts with a comprehensive blood panel — the nutrition plan is built from your actual results, not a template. This is the program for Canberra professionals who’ve tried cutting calories and exercising more and found it doesn’t hold. Runs for 12 weeks with regular check-ins and ongoing adjustments as your metabolism responds.
8-Week Gut Fix Program
For people who’ve been managing IBS, SIBO, bloating, or food reactions and want to actually resolve them — not manage them indefinitely. Works through a structured process: identifying your specific triggers, removing them properly, then systematically reintroducing to rebuild gut tolerance. Eight weeks, evidence-based, with support throughout.
What Clients Say
"Lisa is clearly a leader in her field. Her nutritional knowledge is broad and encompassing and her warm and professional manner immediately sets you at ease. She gave me complete clarity on my nutritional needs and was able to simplify the often confusing messages about food."
- Jenny, Calmbirth Practitioner, Sydney

About Your Local Nutritionist
Lisa Snowdon is a Clinical Nutritionist with 14 years of experience in private practice. Her primary focus areas are digestive health (IBS and SIBO), weight loss through the Metabolic Balance® program, and functional nutrition for hormonal and metabolic conditions.
Lisa works primarily with clients experiencing complex, unresolved health issues — people who’ve seen specialists, had normal test results, and still feel terrible. Her approach is thorough, evidence-based, and designed to find root causes rather than manage symptoms.
She operates physical clinics in Port Macquarie and Sydney’s North Ryde, and consults online with clients across Australia. She is a certified Metabolic Balance® Practitioner, Monash University FODMAP certified, and trained in functional medicine.
Serving Canberra ACT and the Surrounding Region
Lisa works with clients from right across Canberra — from the inner north and south through to the outer suburbs. Because consultations are online, it makes no difference whether you’re in Civic or Tuggeranong, Gungahlin or Woden.
For clients in the wider Capital Region — Queanbeyan, Jerrabomberra, Googong, Yass, Bungendore, and Goulburn — online consultations work just as well. Lisa regularly sees clients from regional NSW who find the online format more practical than travelling to Sydney or Port Macquarie.
