About Me

Specialist Surgical, Weight Loss and Gastroenterology Dietitian

Kylie Russell, professional portrait of a New Zealand registered dietitian specialist in surgical and gastroenterology nutrition

Hi, I’m Kylie, a New Zealand Registered Dietitian (NZRD) based in Christchurch, with experience in both public and private practice. I love being a dietitian, it’s a privilege to help people improve their health and quality of life through nutrition.

A particular focus of my practice is nutrition support for people taking GLP-1 and related weight-management medicines, including Wegovy and Mounjaro. I help you adapt to changes in appetite, meet your nutritional needs, support muscle preservation and manage eating-related symptoms, working alongside your prescribing clinician.

My hospital background spans a wide range of medical and surgical specialties, giving me valuable experience in managing complex health conditions. Alongside weight management, I provide specialist support for digestive health, pancreatic and liver conditions, bariatric surgery, cancer and recovery from surgery.

Through online consultations, I make personalised, evidence-based nutrition advice accessible throughout New Zealand. Whether you live in a major city or a rural community, you can access support from the comfort of your home, without travelling.

Together, we can create practical nutrition strategies that fit your health needs, food preferences and everyday life.

‍Book an online consultation, I look forward to working with you!
