Paulie Barbarich, APD

Hi, I'm Paulie.

I'm an Accredited Practising Dietitian and founder of InnovEAT Nutrition. I started this practice because I believe nutrition care should be practical, personalised and built around you. Not a generic handout.

I completed my Master of Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Wollongong, with clinical training across major NSW Health hospitals. Outside the clinic I have lived and breathed sport my whole life. I played football and tennis from a young age, swam competitively and have always had a deep love for endurance training. Today I combine weekly football with structured weight training, so I understand firsthand what it takes to fuel a body that trains hard across multiple disciplines.

That lived experience shapes everything I do. I listen first, then build something that fits your actual life and your actual goals.
