High cholesterol and heart health support
High Cholesterol Dietitian Support, Clear Steps For Heart Health
If your blood test has raised LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, or “borderline” results, it can be hard to know what matters most. Our Accredited Practising Dietitians help you make targeted food and lifestyle changes that reduce cardiovascular risk, without turning eating into a full-time job.
LDL, HDL, triglycerides
Heart disease and stroke risk
Blood pressure and weight support
Telehealth Australia wide
If you also manage diabetes, fatty liver, or high blood pressure, we can build one plan that covers the overlap, so you are not juggling competing advice.
Why see a dietitian for high cholesterol
Cholesterol changes are rarely about one “perfect” food. The biggest wins usually come from a few high-impact adjustments, done consistently. We help you work out what to change first, then fine-tune based on your results and preferences.
Less confusion
We cut through mixed messages and focus on changes that shift LDL and overall risk.
Personalised nutrition therapy
Built around your blood results, medications, budget, culture, and routine.
Skills you reuse
Label reading, meal structure, fat swaps, and easy ways to add fibre.
Ongoing review
We adjust the plan as your numbers change, or if your treatment changes.
High cholesterol support we offer
Pick what matters most right now. We can keep it simple, or go deeper if your risk factors stack up.
Cholesterol and lipid review
We interpret your bloods and link them to the changes most likely to help.
Fat swaps that stick
Practical ways to reduce saturated fat and lift unsaturated fats, without bland meals.
Fibre and food structure
Simple ways to boost soluble fibre, plant foods, and heart-friendly patterns.
Cardiovascular risk support
Nutrition that supports cholesterol, blood pressure, inflammation, and long-term heart health.
Weight, waist, and eating habits
Support that is steady and realistic, with a focus on behaviours you can keep.
Co-existing conditions
Help when cholesterol overlaps with diabetes, fatty liver, gut issues, or kidney health.
A simple example
If LDL is high, we might start by changing two regular items, for example your usual spread and snack.
We would add a higher-fibre option you will actually eat, then review what is realistic for the next step.
You get progress without a total diet overhaul.
What to expect from your appointment
Understand your results
We go through your lipids and risk factors in plain language, no judgement.
Leave with a short plan
Clear actions for meals, snacks, shopping, and eating out, tailored to you.
Follow-up and fine-tuning
We review what worked, troubleshoot barriers, and build the next step.
High Cholesterol Dietitian FAQs
Do I need to avoid all fat to lower cholesterol?
No. The type of fat matters more than “low fat”. We focus on reducing saturated fat, increasing heart-friendly fats, and improving overall meal structure.
Can you help if I am on cholesterol medication?
Yes. Food changes can still help, and we tailor advice around your treatment plan. If you have side effects or concerns, we can also help you plan questions for your GP.
Do you help with cardiovascular disease risk, not just cholesterol?
Yes. We look at the full picture, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose, weight history, family risk, eating habits, and lifestyle, then build a practical plan.
Can appointments be done via telehealth?
Yes. We offer secure telehealth appointments Australia wide.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
If you can, bring recent blood results (cholesterol panel and any other relevant results), a medication list, and a rough idea of your usual meals. If you do not have these, still book, we can start from where you are.
My GP referral names another clinic, can I still use it?
Often, yes. If your Medicare EPC referral is current and written for dietetic services, you can usually use it with us. If you are unsure, our admin team can check before you book.
Can I claim rebates through Medicare or private health?
Many clients can claim through private health extras. Medicare rebates may apply when you have an eligible GP referral. If you tell us what you have, we will point you in the right direction.
