Amelia Pilichiewicz BSc (Hons), MNutDiet, PhD

Amelia Pilichiewicz is an accredited practising dietitian and sports dietitian (SDA provisional), having completed degrees in both science (honours, PhD) and nutrition and dietetics. She has a special interest in gastrointestinal nutrition, women’s health (including pelvic pain), type II diabetes management, sports nutrition, and nutritional research. Amelia completed a PhD at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, analysing the diet in patients with upper-abdominal indigestion, and the role of nutrients in gastrointestinal function and the regulation of appetite.

She has also worked as a clinical trial coordinator and research officer investigating both conventional and alternative medications for the relief of symptoms of diabetes, obesity, indigestion, and irritable bowel syndrome. Upon realising that many patients associated a connection between what they were eating and the worsening of their symptoms, Amelia decided to pursue further study in nutrition and dietetics. Amelia has a keen interest in women’s health including pelvic pain, coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and other gastrointestinal disorders.
