Better Health Nutrition - Teresa Lamanna

Meet Teresa Lamanna, Better Health Nutrition’s nutritionist and weight loss consultant. Teresa’s approach is to treat the whole person – their mind, body and spirit, not simply the disease. She does this by addressing the cause of your disease, not just the symptoms.

Teresa states, “Most diseases start from nutritional imbalances caused by our dietary food intake. Our food choices can greatly influence our energy levels, our ability to perform mentally and physically, as well as weaken our immune system and greatly affect our mood.”

As Hippocrates (c.460 – 400BC) once said, “Let food be thy medicine and thy medicine be food.”

After an extensive career spent in corporate banking, nutritionist, Teresa Lamanna, decided to spread her wings to pursue her passion for nutrition and natural health medicine. Studying and working part time for six years, in 2007, Teresa graduated from the Australian College of Natural Medicine (now Endeavour College of Natural Health) with a Bachelor of Health Science, Nutritional Medicine.

Teresa regularly updates her clinical skills and professional knowledge by attending seminars and conferences. This ensures she always provides her patients with the highest standard of health care. She is a member of the Australian Natural Therapists Association (ANTA), holds Professional Indemnity Insurance, and is registered with numerous health funds enabling rebates for qualifying patients.

With her enthusiastic and motivating nature, Teresa encourages her patients to achieve all of their health goals, by supporting, educating and empowering her patients to take back control of their health and life.
