Hello

My name is Vanessa Briese and I’m a university-trained Clinical Nutritionist and former Nutrition Consultant to home delivery meal plan company Thrive Meals.

Prior to becoming a Nutritionist, I completed a Bachelor of Commerce degree and worked in the corporate world primarily as a senior researcher for many years. My work-life balance was out of kilter and my health deteriorated as a result. I developed a thyroid condition, gained weight, and suffered from various gut issues. Overcoming these health challenges turbo-charged my long-held interest in health, in particular in the area of weight loss, hormonal imbalance, gut health and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). This led to me becoming a degree qualified Clinical Nutritionist in early 2018.

My mission is to look after your health today for a better life tomorrow, by equipping you with the knowledge and tools to eat, live and stay healthy. Using my well-honed research skills, I investigate the latest evidence-based research to deliver informative, personalised nutrition focused plans that are easy to understand and implement. Plans that realistically fit into your busy day-to-day life and don’t ask anything of you I wouldn’t do myself.

Key to successful treatment is identifying and resolving the root cause of the problem, while supporting the body to heal and rebalance itself.
