Tonina Rizzo Nutrition

Tonina is one of the best health professionals I have ever dealt with. She is passionate, caring, thorough and always has time for you anytime of the day. Thank you for all the support over the years.

I suspected that my long-term, low-grade muscle pain and "brain fog" (and other minor, lingering body and mind symptoms) might be down to a poor/inadequate diet. I had been to a dietician previously for help but had been given a generic diet, and they had little interest in my personal situation; so, this approach didn’t work and I continued to "put up with" these symptoms for a long time.

A friend recommended Tonina after having great success addressing her own health issues through changing her diet; so I decided to book in an appointment.

Enter the lovely Tonina!

100% focused on me, listened intently to my issues and then uses her incredible knowledgeable to come up with an individualised plan.

She spent the first hour listening and assessing my symptoms; and then gave me some suggestions to try straight away that would start me moving in the right direction.

She then created an eating program specifically to address my issues and worked with me to "upgrade" what I was already doing so that I could make better choices that were easy to incorporate into my current lifestyle - all the while taking out the guess work.

A couple of months later my brain fog has pretty much disappeared, the muscle pain (and therefore the pain medication) has completely gone (only comes back when I eat the foods that we discovered increase the inflammatory response in my body!) and I generally feel my body is now well nourished on a cellular level.

I would highly recommend Tonina for her in-depth knowledge, her ability to create bespoke treatments and her kind and compassionate manner.

Tonina was fantastic! She is incredibly knowledgeable and was able to create a suitable diet to best support my condition. She also took a great deal of time to educate me on my condition and how diet directly impacts it. She also sent me images of great staple products I could rely on and recipes to adopt. 100% recommend.

My biggest regret is not contacting Tonina sooner. After years of battling chronic health issues, weight gain, and a PCOS diagnosis I was at a loss. My days were filled with cramps, bloating, nausea and a general feeling of being unwell. I had doctors tell me that my symptoms would diminish if I lost weight, but no matter what I did, the weight didn't budge and despite their guidance my symptoms were not improving and my weight remained.
Then I met Tonina. She spent time getting to know me, understanding my history and without delay began unpacking my symptoms. Tonina was able to identify a number of undiagnosed allergies that I was unknowingly living with and made recommended changes to my diet.
Some 3 months later, I am living almost symptom free, and have lost 2kgs. I am not on a diet, I am just eating the right foods for my body and have never felt better. The thing I love the most is that unlike every doctor I have ever seen, Tonina has not focussed on my weight not once, but focussed on fueling my body with the right foods and I will be forever thankful for how her support has positively impacted my life.

Tonina is caring, passionate and knowledgeable when it comes to assisting patients on their health and wellness journey. I have seen first-hand how she is able to support and improve the health of clients by providing an in-depth, collaborative approach that helps explore the root cause of symptoms. Tonina truly goes above and beyond to provide nutritional services tailored to the individual. Her warmth and caring nature always makes me feel welcome. I cannot thank Tonina enough!

Tonina gives her clients care, compassion and knowledge to assist them in their health, well-being and healing of the body and mind. So thankful that I was referred to her, she has improved my quality of life and health, and I'm enjoying a better quality sleep too.

I just wanted to say a big thank you Tonina Rizzo for helping me with my back pain. I never would have linked it to food sensitivities! I'm glad I decided to see you to just give it a shot. Now I’m so grateful.
I will be highly recommending you to all that I know.

Tonina was a game changer for me! She has helped me get back on track with my physical health and wellbeing. Tonina supported and guided me throughout my journey to lose weight and educated me on how I could independently make informed decisions about my food choices. Her expertise, wisdom and wealth of knowledge, is second to none. Highly recommend her for any health and nutritional support as she is very thorough and investigates all possible solutions for positive outcomes.

Tonina was so informative, helpful and encouraging during a time of great distress trying to deal with and control my son’s eczema. Tonina’s educated guidance and care assisted my son and I through his food intolerance issues and towards a very positive outcome.
I would highly recommend Tonina and will forever be grateful to her.

Tonina has been instrumental in helping me understand what my body needs to perform at and achieve optimum results. I am a competitive cyclist and followed lots of other “diets”. Her caring an adaptable approach has really helped me,
I have great awareness and can see the results very quickly
Highly recommended!

Tonina has a wealth of knowledge in regards to Nutrition and tricks up her sleeve (for weight loss for example). Her ability to listen and advise on problems and offer solutions is great. Highly recommend a visit!

I started at a new gym and I was advised they had the services of nutritionist on site, so we thought it was best to make an appointment with Tonina as I have suffered from health issues over the last few years and diet is something we should look at.
Tonina was very knowledgeable around what she can do to get to the bottom of the health issues I was experiencing, she recommended a number of tests, diet and vitamins as part of the treatment plan. I feel much better than I did, with more energy, more focus and overall in a better health condition.
I highly recommend Tonina and speak highly of her as a health practitioner with a very caring approach, she also follows up to see how you are going, which is so important.
Thank you Tonina.

Tonina is so knowledgeable in all areas of nutrition, her medical knowledge and the psychological affects to the body. She is so thorough, very supportive, caring and very friendly.
Tonina, with her vast knowledge, has helped me more than any medical practitioner has.
I am so glad I found her and I can confidently recommend her to others.

I engaged Tonina's expertise after trying to deal with gut issues and managing my weight after lockdown. After implementing her nutritional advice I am now feeling a lot better and losing those covid kilos. Its hard to deal with health and gut issues unsupported. Tonina is a wonderful, caring, highly astute practitioner whose knowledge is impressive and approach is professional and effective. I couldn't have done this without her.

Tonina makes you feel so comfortable and explains the intricate detail of nutrition, by using a sustainable and logical outlook towards food and lifestyle choices.

Tonina has helped me so much, even if it’s celebrating the small wins. She provides the guidance and scientifically proven data to support her methods.

I have never felt this fit and healthy and it’s all thanks to her!

Working with Tonina has been a beautiful experience, her unique ability to ask certain questions that can lead to the eventual answer that we are looking for is just awesome. She is exceptionally educated and knowledgeable which shines through in her practice. She is also wonderfully committed and invested towards her clients' health journey and their progress. Tonina has been a wonderful person to work with and I am so grateful to have found her. I highly recommend her services to anyone on the road to discovering a healthier and happier life.

Tonina has been great! She’s very thorough and understands both where the patient is in their nutrition journey and where they are financially. She’s attentive and I feel comfortable with her which makes it easy to talk to about everything I need to. I am so glad I met her! Going to stick with her for all my nutritional advice! I found out about my food intolerances, changed my diet for the better and haven’t felt this great in ages. Thanks Tonina:)

Tonina is very knowledgeable about nutrition and the interaction of food and it's effect on the body. She had given me strong direction and consistently supported me with my goals.

AMAZING! Tonina is extremely knowledgeable, understanding and was able to tailer a nutrition plan to my individual needs. Tonina is up to date with the latest research, has an excellent whole foods approach, and the service she provides is professional and always prompt. Working in the fitness industry, I would highly recommend any of my clients to Tonina.

After years of suffering from chronic rhinitis, and treating the symptoms, Tonina was able to help me identify and understand the foods that were actually causing the problems and put together a plan to reduce my body's inflammation. I was delighted to report that after a few weeks of an elimination diet, my rhinitis had reduced dramatically and I no longer had to take medication to treat the symptoms. Tonina's advice, support & knowledge have been so useful in managing my issues. I wish I had seen her sooner! Many thanks from me!
