MELISSA D'ELIA
Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD)
I'm an Accredited Practising Dietitian based in Melbourne and the founder of Sprout Nutrition. I help people optimise their health through personalised nutrition counselling and practical strategies that feel realistic and enjoyable.
My clinical interests include IBS and the Low FODMAP diet, women's health with a focus on PMOS (formerly PCOS) , plant-based nutrition and weight management, including nutrition support for clients using GLP-1 medications. I also have a strong interest in sports nutrition, helping clients apply evidence-based fuelling and recovery strategies.
I regularly collaborate with Monash FODMAP to develop nutritionally balanced Low FODMAP recipes, and I'm particularly passionate about the intersection of plant-based eating and IBS management, creating dietary strategies that are nutritionally complete and practical for everyday life.
As a member of Dietitian's Australia, I'm committed to care that is clinically sound, supportive and empowering, helping every client feel confident with food and in control of their health.

SPROUT NUTRITION
At Sprout Nutrition, the focus is on helping good health grow from simple, realistic changes that fit naturally into everyday life. Just like a seed needs the right environment to sprout, everyone has their own unique starting point, and the aim is to find an approach that supports lasting health, confidence and wellbeing.
Clients receive one-on-one support across sports nutrition, digestive health, women's health, plant-based nutrition and chronic disease management, with meal planning, recipes and practical guidance tailored to individual needs. For active clients and athletes, this includes evidence-based fuelling, recovery and performance strategies to help training gains take root.
While plant-based eating is a key focus, Sprout Nutrition welcomes all dietary preferences.
The goal is simple: take the confusion out of nutrition and give you the clarity and structure to reach your goals with confidence.
