Your gut affects everything. Let's work out what's going on.
If you're dealing with bloating, unpredictable digestion, low energy or that constant feeling that something just isn't right, you're not imagining it. Fleur Dean is a Certified Practising Nutritionist based in Mount Eliza and Dromana who offers personalised, evidence-informed nutrition support for gut and digestive health — in clinic on the Mornington Peninsula or via telehealth anywhere in Australia.
Why Gut Health Deserves More Than a Generic Diet Plan
Your digestive system does far more than process food. It plays a central role in immune function, hormone regulation, mood, energy and inflammation — which means that when your gut is struggling, the effects tend to show up everywhere. Bloating, irregular bowel habits, food sensitivities, reflux, fatigue and even skin and mood changes can all have a digestive component. A personalised nutrition consultation looks at the full picture, not just your symptoms in isolation.
At Vital Energy Nutritional Medicine, Fleur takes a thorough, individualised approach to gut health. That means reviewing your health history, diet patterns and lifestyle, and where appropriate, integrating functional tools like gut microbiome testing and functional blood pathology analysis to better understand what's happening beneath the surface. From there, she builds a practical nutrition and lifestyle plan that works for your real life — including your supplement budget. Fleur sees clients at Pinnacle Physio in Dromana, at her Mount Eliza consulting space, and online for clients across Australia and internationally.
What to Expect from a Gut Health Nutrition Consultation
Your Initial Consultation (90 Minutes)
Your first appointment is a deep dive into your health story. Fleur reviews a detailed pre-consultation questionnaire covering your digestive symptoms, health history, current diet, lifestyle, stress levels and any existing test results. This gives the consultation real depth from the moment you sit down — whether you're in Mount Eliza, Dromana or joining via telehealth.
Testing and Analysis Where Relevant
Depending on your situation, Fleur may recommend functional gut testing, SMART DNA analysis or functional blood pathology review to get a clearer picture of what's driving your symptoms. She explains findings in plain language so you actually understand what your results mean and why they matter for your gut health.
Your Personalised Nutrition Plan
You leave with a tailored treatment plan — practical food and lifestyle recommendations, supplement guidance within your budget, and clear next steps. Follow-up appointments allow Fleur to review progress, adjust your plan and keep you supported as things shift. The goal is a sustainable approach you can actually stick to.

Gut Health Nutrition — Common Questions
What gut health concerns can a certified practising nutritionist help support?
Fleur works with a range of digestive and gut health concerns, including bloating, reflux, irregular bowel habits, food sensitivities, and general digestive discomfort. Gut health also intersects with hormone balance, immune function, energy and mood — so if you're dealing with multiple concerns, that's worth discussing in your consultation. Nutrition support is not a substitute for medical care, and Fleur works collaboratively alongside your GP and other health practitioners.
Do I need a referral to see a gut health certified practising nutritionist?
No referral is needed to book a nutrition consultation with Fleur. You can book directly through Healthbank for her Mount Eliza or Dromana clinic, or for a telehealth appointment if you're elsewhere in Australia. If you're unsure whether a nutrition consultation is right for you, Fleur offers a free 15-minute discovery call so you can ask questions before committing.
What is a nutrition consultation for gut health like?
Your initial consultation runs for 90 minutes. Before your appointment, you'll complete a detailed health questionnaire so Fleur can prepare thoroughly. During the session, she'll go through your symptoms, diet, lifestyle and health history, and discuss whether any functional testing — such as gut microbiome testing or blood pathology — would be useful for your situation. You'll receive a personalised treatment plan with practical, tailored recommendations.
Is gut testing always necessary?
Not always. Fleur uses functional testing — including gut microbiome analysis and blood pathology — where it's likely to add meaningful insight to your care. She'll discuss whether testing is appropriate for your situation during your consultation, and will always explain what any recommended test involves and why it may be helpful.
Can I see Fleur online if I'm not on the Mornington Peninsula?
Yes. Fleur offers telehealth nutrition consultations for clients across Australia and internationally (excluding the USA). Online consultations follow the same thorough process as in-person appointments — including the pre-consultation questionnaire, personalised treatment plan and follow-up support. You can book a telehealth appointment through Healthbank.
How much does a gut health nutrition consultation cost?
An initial 90-minute consultation is $180 and a 60-minute return consultation is $130, whether you see Fleur in Mount Eliza, Dromana or online via telehealth. A free 15-minute discovery call is also available, and Smart DNA testing and functional pathology packages are listed on the Appointments & Pricing page.
