Clinical dietetics for dysautonomia goes far beyond increasing salt intake—your digestive system, blood sugar regulation, and inflammatory responses all influence autonomic stability in ways traditional nutrition advice completely overlooks. When your nervous system struggles to regulate basic functions like heart rate and blood pressure, every meal becomes a complex negotiation between nutrient needs, symptom triggers, and digestive limitations that most practitioners don't understand.
Our specialised dietitians recognise how gastroparesis, blood pooling, and mast cell activation create a cascade of nutritional challenges that conventional dietary approaches often worsen. We understand that the "just eat more salt" advice ignores the intricate relationship between meal timing, macronutrient ratios, blood volume regulation, and inflammatory responses. Through targeted protocols addressing trigger identification, metabolic stability, and nutrient optimisation, we help restore the nutritional foundation that supports autonomic function while working within your body's current digestive limitations.
Your dietetic care integrates seamlessly with your broader Biio care team, sharing insights through our biiography platform to ensure your nutrition strategies align with your medication management, exercise protocols, and symptom patterns. This isn't about restriction—it's about discovering which foods fuel your recovery and which sabotage your stability, addressing both the mechanical aspects of digestion and the psychological relationship with food that chronic illness often complicates.
1. Comprehensive Nutritional Assessment
Your initial consultation includes detailed symptom and food diary analysis, digestion pattern mapping, trigger identification, and comprehensive nutritional status evaluation. We assess how your autonomic dysfunction affects stomach emptying, blood sugar regulation, and nutrient absorption while documenting the complex relationship between your symptoms and food intake patterns.
2. Metabolic Pattern Analysis
We analyse your current eating patterns against your autonomic symptoms, identifying how meal timing, portion sizes, and food combinations affect your orthostatic tolerance, energy levels, and digestive function. This includes evaluating your response to different macronutrient ratios and documenting symptom patterns that emerge with specific dietary triggers.
3. Personalised Protocol Development
Working with your care team, we develop targeted nutrition protocols addressing your specific presentation—whether managing gastroparesis-related food stagnation, MCAS inflammatory responses, or post-viral metabolic dysfunction. Your plan integrates with your medical management and considers your current medications, supplements, and other therapies.
4. Implementation and Monitoring
You'll receive structured meal plans, symptom tracking tools, and practical strategies for navigating daily nutrition challenges. We provide ongoing support as you implement dietary changes, monitoring symptom responses and adjusting protocols based on your body's feedback and changing needs.
5. Progress Evaluation and Refinement
Regular follow-up sessions track improvements in digestive tolerance, energy stability, and overall symptom management. We refine your protocols based on symptom patterns documented through our biiography platform, ensuring your nutrition strategy evolves with your recovery.
6. Long-term Nutritional Optimisation
You'll develop sophisticated self-management skills for maintaining nutritional stability, including strategies for managing symptom flares, adapting to medication changes, and navigating social eating situations while protecting your autonomic stability.
