I’m Dr Stacey Fuller, a dietitian and nutrition scientist, with a passion for helping people navigate nutrition in a way that is practical, evidence-based, and empowering. I am based in Shellharbour NSW, providing evidence-based nutrition care to individuals and aged care providers across the Illawarra. With a strong foundation in both research and clinical practice, I combine academic knowledge with real-world experience to support clients across the lifespan in achieving better health, wellbeing, and a sustainable relationship with food.

I have a strong academic foundation in science and nutrition, with studies spanning biological and biomedical science, nutrition & dietetics, aged care, and advanced research:

• Bachelor of Science (Biological Science) with Honours, Western Sydney University, 2009

• Graduate Diploma in Science (Biomedical Science), University of Wollongong, 2011

• Master of Science (Nutrition and Dietetics), University of Wollongong, 2013

• Doctor of Philosophy, in Nutrition (investigating the health effect of dietary fibre), University of Wollongong, 2019

• Currently studying a Diploma in Dementia Care, University of Tasmania.

I have worked across diverse settings, including aged care, private practice, research, and rehabilitation/surgical hospital wards. This breadth of experience gives me a unique perspective on health and nutrition across the lifespan.

I specialise in healthy aging, metabolism and weight management. I currently work in private practice, aged care, and as a science communicator through my Substack, Metabolic Rx. I believe in a sensible, no-nonsense approach to healthy eating, one that prioritises nourishment, joy, and sustainability over restriction and guilt.

Beyond my formal training, I bring personal experience navigating body stigma and societal pressures around weight. This lived experience fuels my empathy and strengthens my ability to support clients with compassion and practical strategies. I understand firsthand how confusing and overwhelming nutrition advice can feel, especially when it’s filtered through diet culture or anxiety. My approach combines evidence-based guidance with real-world practicality, helping clients develop a healthier, more sustainable relationship with food and their bodies- without shame, guilt, or restriction.

In short, I offer a unique perspective: someone who understands the challenges firsthand and has the clinical expertise to guide others successfully toward better health and wellbeing.

I’m committed to helping people navigate nutrition in a way that is evidence-based, practical, and empowering. Whether you’re looking to improve your relationship with food, support healthy aging, or manage your metabolism and weight, I combine professional expertise with real-world understanding to guide you toward sustainable, positive change.
