Feast for Health

About Us

Feast for Health was founded by Lori Evangelista in 2009. It has since grown to become a team of Accredited Practising Dietitians, spread across Newcastle, the Central Coast, and Lake Macquarie regions of NSW.

We don't believe in 'diets'. Food is a wonderful part of life and should be enjoyed. We believe that eating for health should not be restrictive. Through dietary education about how different foods affect our bodies, our patients can usually FEAST on plenty of food and enhance their health while doing so.
