So what does a Functional Nutritionist actually do?
With over 50 trillion cells in the human body that are absolutely vital for optimal function as human beings, Functional Nutritional Therapy addresses any cellular deficiencies through structured bio- individualised nutritional protocols to help these cells thrive.
Our bodies are built to run off nutrients that are found in whole foods. The modern highly processed diet leads to nutrient deficiencies which can then lead to disease and disfunction.
It’s my job to help you nourish these cells providing guidance and nutritional protocols to optimize your health.
My main focus as a Functional Nutritionist Practitioner will be working with you 1:1 to understand your individual health concerns and needs, to then develop an individual protocol which will help you reduce stress and optimize your nutrition to achieve your health goals.
If you’re not sure where to start but know you need to make some changes, or if like me, you’ve explored all other avenues and you’re at the end of your tether, book a free chat with me today and we can discuss how I can best help you.
In addition to being a Functional Nutritionist I also offer two additional services, I am a qualified Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Time Line Therapy Practitioner. These skills are particularly useful for helping people reduce the impact of trauma, anxiety and mild depression as they can impact our stress levels and ultimately compromise digestion.
NLP is a modality that has been utilised by some of the biggest names in the world including Oprah, Barrack Obama and Anthony Robbins. It is centred around the belief that we become what we think about most of the time. So if we are constantly eliciting negative self talk, then we will see these things manifest in our daily lives and we will continually seek these negative connotations and interactions.
Time Line Therapy is also used by the elite and is a modality that helps us to recognise negative subconscious beliefs or programming that we may be carrying with us from childhood or major traumatic events. Some of our behavioural patterns are embedded deep beneath the surface and we don’t even realise that these beliefs are running our day-to-day lives. This is because 95% of what we do each day is on running from a Subconscious level and this can have a huge impact on our health.

Testimonials
Toby Jenkins, Olympian and Executive Coach
“I thought I knew a fair bit about nutrition after years of being an athlete, but it’s been super helpful having your guidance…”
Connell Croser
“Working with Richard over the past 8 weeks has been nothing short of life-changing.
When I first came to him, I was struggling with low energy, constant lethargy, and relentless brain fog that made it hard to think clearly or function at my best.
Richard didn’t just treat the symptoms he helped me get to the root cause of what was going on. Through his personalized approach, which included tailored nutritional and lifestyle recommendations, I’ve seen incredible progress in such a short time.
My energy levels have skyrocketed from a 2 or 3 to an 8 out of 10, and my brain fog, something I thought I’d just have to live with, has gone from an overwhelming 8 out of 10 to a manageable 2. On top of that, my sleep and digestion have improved drastically, and I’ve even lost 8 kg as an added bonus!
I absolutely love what Richard is doing. His holistic, foundational approach has not only transformed my health but also given me the confidence and energy to tackle an even bigger goal. Together, we’re now working towards preparing me for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure: traveling to Nepal and climbing Mount Everest in October.
Richard’s guidance has empowered me to believe in what my body is capable of, and I’m truly excited for what lies ahead. I can’t thank him enough for the impact he’s had on my life, and I would happily recommend him to anyone who is looking to improve their health and well-being.”
Richy is the epitome of walking the walk. I’ve known him for a few years and he’s knowledgeable, reliable, and passionate about health and fitness.
My session with Richy helped me understand how the choices I was making with nutrition could be getting in the way of feeling and performing at my best.
I love that Richy isn’t about restriction, or fads, or making changes that take away any enjoyment – he’s all about balance and having the information to be better. Whether you’re just looking to be pointed in the right direction, or you’re a high performer looking for the 1%er’s, I highly recommend connecting with Richy.

My goal is a simple one, I want to heal from my life’s distresses to be able to best help my children through theirs.
I went into this workshop knowing that I had emotional body armour that was no longer serving me, but my question was always ‘how do you begin?’
Rich guides your self reflection through questionnaires and genuine enthusiasm for you, after which he encourages you to delve into these unlocked emotions and untangle the core memories associated with them. Leading you to see them through a present lens, no longer in the past emotions of the original feeling.
Rich’s workshop creates meaning between what’s going on around you outside and inside, giving you the ability to create balance. And once you sustain that you will begin to attract conditions in your life equal to who you want to be.
I have experienced continued self assurance, a calmer inner voice, also surprisingly I no longer have acute dyslexia. I am certainly still healing but definingly this workshop has been the beginning I was after.
Kind regards, Maree Zillotti
Working with Richie from Optimize Mind and Body has been fantastic for my health.
He helped me identify what wasn't working in my diet that was causing inflammation. The results have been really impressive I'm no longer hungry all the time, I've noticed much less inflammation in my body, and my brain fog has cleared up.
His guidance has made a significant difference to my overall wellbeing. If you're dealing with similar health challenges, I'd definitely recommend giving Richie a call.
