We all have our own food story.
I’m here to uncover and rewrite yours.

And let me guess, you’ve hit a turning point in your life and you want to change yours.
Well, take a seat. Because I help people just like you build nourishing, realistic and sustainable eating habits so you can feel energised, strong and nourished. Every single day.
Whether your focus is on digestive issues, women’s health, fatigue or simply making better choices. Together, we’ll use food as the fuel to live your best life.
Who am I?
I’m Ali Tehan, a qualified Nutritionist specialising in women’s health through perimenopause, menopause and beyond.
I’ve seen first hand how confusing midlife can become. The nutrition advice that worked in your 20s and 30s doesn’t always work the same way now and there is an enormous amount of conflicting information about what women should eat, what supplements they need, hormones, weight and gut health.
My role is to cut through that noise.
I combine evidence based nutrition with a practical, personalised approach to help you understand what’s happening in your body and what you can actually do about it.
And I’ve got a food story, too
The beginning
I grew up on a farm in country Victoria. A place where wholefoods were the norm, cooking nourishing meals was a rite of passage and living off the land – mostly through seasonal, fresh vegetables – came naturally.At the time, I didn’t know any different. What I considered a normal part of growing up, wasn’t what others experienced. And it wasn’t until later life that I realised this shaped my path today, giving me an innate ability to nourish my body, cook delicious meals and see food as a source of medicine.
The middle
If my early years shaped my path today, then I’d consider my 20s a time where I took a rogue detour. Like many of us, my 20s prioritised fun over health. Parties over good sleep. Convenience over wholefoods.
So naturally, I had all the symptoms that go with that. I quickly realised what life can look like when you don’t invest in your health – something I had never experienced growing up. Not only that, I also struggled to find my direction and fell into the corporate world – adopting quick and convenient eating habits to suit. Health and wellness became an afterthought.
Today
After having my first child my focus shifted. Knowing I was responsible for another tiny human, I fell back to my natural instinct for eating well.
Yet at the same time, I was surrounded by friends and family who were experiencing a whole range of gut and hormonal issues, and all I wanted to do was help.
I soon realised what was second nature to me, was life-changing for someone else.
So, I jumped feet first into a postgrad in nutrition and the rest is history.
Today, I’m dedicated to educating women over 40 on how a few simple changes can make them feel energised and radiant.
