Angeline%20BBDiet%20dietitian%20profile%

Angeline is an internationally recognised Senior Accredited Practising Dietitian and Accredited Nutritionist who has inspired thousands of individuals to reclaim their health and vitality through the power of real food.

​

With over 15 years of combined experience in the healthcare industry, Angeline brings both clinical expertise and heartfelt passion to her work. 

​

In 2012, Angeline founded BBDiet (Back to Basics Dietetics) — a private dietetic practice providing trusted nutrition services to medical centres, NDIS participants, and residential aged care facilities across Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

​

Her clinical interests focus on inflammatory and metabolic conditions, including diabetes, IBS, arthritis, cancer nutrition, food allergies, and intolerances, as well as women’s health — spanning PCOS, endometriosis, infertility, PMS, and menopause. She also supports clients with eating disorders and alcohol addiction, recognising the powerful connection between nutrition and mental wellbeing.

​

A firm believer that the body has an incredible ability to heal itself when given the right conditions, Angeline empowers her clients to restore balance through whole foods and sustainable lifestyle changes. As a mother, she also has a deep passion for pregnancy and child nutrition, helping families nurture health from the very beginning.

​

At the heart of her approach is personalisation — tailoring every plan to align with each client’s unique lifestyle, food preferences, exercise habits, and medical needs. Witnessing her clients’ transformations — not just physically, but emotionally and mentally — fuels her dedication to make evidence-based nutrition simple, practical, and life-changing.

Margaret is a warm, compassionate, and empowering dietitian who combines personal experience with professional expertise to help others transform their relationship with food and health.

 

Having personally navigated and overcome challenges with weight and disordered eating, she brings a deep sense of understanding, empathy, and hope to every client she supports. Her mission is to help people reclaim confidence, restore balance, and create a healthy, enjoyable relationship with food through gradual, meaningful lifestyle changes.

​

Margaret holds a Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics (Honours) from Queensland University of Technology and is currently pursuing her PhD (to be completed in February 2026), focusing on improving long-term health and nutrition outcomes for individuals after bariatric (weight loss) surgery. Her key areas of expertise include weight management, bariatric nutrition, cardiovascular health, and disordered eating.

​

Guided by a person-centred and motivational counselling approach, Margaret is dedicated to truly understanding each client’s values, challenges, and goals. She works collaboratively to develop realistic, sustainable strategies that foster long-lasting change — not quick fixes. Her commitment to evidence-based practice and ongoing research ensures she delivers the most up-to-date, high-quality nutrition care with excellence and integrity.

​

Beyond her professional life, Margaret enjoys inline skating, exploring new restaurants, and dreams of visiting a bunny or alpaca café someday. She also has her sights set on mastering indoor rock climbing — always striving for growth, both personally and professionally.
