Sarah Smith and Ingrid Hilton Lagom Nutrition

Lagom Nutrition is a specialised team of expert dietitians providing compassionate and balanced care. Our services cover a wide range of areas including eating disorders, disordered eating, perimenopause/menopause, women’s health, sports nutrition, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, body image disorders, nutrition for children, and gut health. We are dedicated to helping our clients achieve their desired outcomes.

At Lagom Nutrition, we embrace the Swedish concept of “Lagom,” which means “just the right amount.” This philosophy is about finding balance and contentment, ensuring you have everything you need without excess. It’s a principle that can be applied to all aspects of life, including food and movement.  Our dietitians are dedicated to helping you, your child or your partner achieve a balanced relationship with food and nutrition. We understand the profound impact that a challenging relationship with food and body image can have. At Lagom Nutrition, we aim to help you find your “lagom” with food, offering the freedom and joy that comes with it.

We work with you to identify and overcome barriers to adequate nutrition. These barriers might include disordered eating patterns, a hectic lifestyle that leaves little time for meal planning and preparation, low confidence around food, medication side effects, or simply rediscovering the joy of cooking.

Join us at Lagom Nutrition and experience the balance and satisfaction that comes from having just the right amount.

What our clients say:

In only my second session Sarah made a pivotal connection. Through all the dietitians and psychologists I’ve seen, I’d never been able to get to the crux of it and Sarah just put her finger on it. Now I understand I can do something with it.

Tilly was warm and easy to talk to, she listened patiently to the needs and concerns of  my daughter and l and we  were very pleased with the practical and  thorough eating plan she recommended for my daughter.  We look forward to meeting with her again.

Navigating Anorexia Nervosa is a battle that can’t be done alone. It takes a team of support to make you believe that recovery is possible. Ingrid has been instrumental in my recovery over the last few years, displaying kindness, compassion, empathy and dedication. Not once has Ingrid ‘given up on me’, when I had no hope myself. During our appointments Ingrid continues to guide me in the right direction pushing me to challenge my eating disorder cognitions and to live my life in line with my values. I can wholeheartedly say that I wouldn’t be where I am today, achieving my goals in life and recovery without her.

Discover Lagom Nutrition

At Lagom Nutrition, we embrace the Swedish philosophy of “lagom,” pronounced (lar..gom) which means finding contentment with just the right amount for you. This approach encourages trusting your body to recognize when it has enough, understanding that more doesn’t always lead to greater satisfaction, nor does less resolve in greater control. It’s about finding that sweet spot with food and nutrition and building a meaningful connection to it.

When you reach out to Lagom Nutrition, we’ll match you with the best dietitian for your needs. If you already have a preference, simply let us know. Our specialized dietitians are dedicated to understanding your unique needs and supporting you or your child on your journey with food. There’s no need for food records or lengthy paperwork. During your initial 50-minute session, our dietitians will take the time to understand your goals and your story around food and body. You can expect a compassionate approach, where your dietitian will gently explore your concerns and tailor the session to you or your child as an individual. Follow-up sessions are scheduled based on your needs and can be 50 or 25 minutes long. All our dietitians are accredited, allowing you to access Medicare and private health rebates.

Lagom is about being aware and trusting the messages your body sends as you eat, connecting with family and friends at the table, and finding satisfaction in your meals. When it comes to movement, more isn’t necessarily better. Finding your “lagom” might mean enjoying a walk instead of a run, or dancing around the house because it feels good.

Achieving lagom is about finding freedom with food and movement, removing the constraints of a poor relationship with food, and allowing more space and energy for what truly matters to you. Our dietitians are here to support you in finding your lagom, addressing any food or medical concerns along the way.

At Lagom Nutrition, we believe in fostering a positive relationship with food and your body. It is possible, and it is worth it.
