Lumen Dietitians (previously Mindful Eating Habits) was founded by Dr Alice Day in 2009 and integrated their gastroenterology-focused nutrition consultancy services with Lumen Gastroenterology (www.lumengastro.com.au) in 2020.
We are a gastroenterology nutrition consultancy service with a particular focus on improving gut health, mental well-being and restoring relationships with food which can become compromised after experiencing unpleasant or troublesome gastrointestinal symptoms. Our team of highly experienced gastroenterology dietitians undertake comprehensive gastrointestinal health and mental well-being assessments to identify the most appropriate way of eating for gastrointestinal symptoms and diseases. We are highly skilled in translating the latest scientific evidence into individualised dietary advice.
Lumen Dietitians are trained to help people navigate the overwhelming amount of dietary information (and misinformation) that exists around diet for gastrointestinal problems. We educate and support patients to achieve a balanced approach to eating, free from unnecessary dietary restrictions and food anxiety. We ensure dietary strategies are tailored to each person's needs to manage disease or the troublesome symptoms that impact daily quality of life. Our Lumen Dietitians are actively engaged in gastrointestinal dietary research and stay up-to-date in the latest advances in dietary research to improve gut health.

Food can affect gastrointestinal symptoms and gut function. Gastrointestinal symptoms can affect mental well-being and quality of life. Mental well-being can trigger and affect gastrointestinal symptoms. Lumen Dietitians recognise this cycle and are experienced in supporting patients to identify triggers of gastrointestinal issues. A strong relationship also exists between the brain and gastrointestinal tract. This is known as the gut-brain axis. It is well-established that stress, anxiety and mental health can influence gut symptoms. For some people, identifying these triggers can be equally or more beneficial than diet alone. All our Dietitians work closely with Gastroenterologists, Clinical & Health Psychologists, Gut Hypnotherapists, Pelvic floor Physiotherapists, IBD Nurses, Stomal Therapists and Colorectal Surgeons as part of delivering integrated, evidence-based care.
