ABOUT MARKIA

Accredited Practicing Dietitian & Nutritionist (BHSc (Nutrition), MDietS)

A recovering perfectionist and true nerd at heart, Marika has spent over five years educating and empowering change in the nutrition industry. Tired of hearing the same old crap, she wondered how she could do nutrition differently. Simpler. Less stressful. Shit, maybe even make it fun. And just like that, Gut Started was born.

Marika has years of experience working with clients with chronic digestive issues, and those trying to overcome emotional eating, lose weight or manage symptoms of endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Her caring and facts-driven approach to nutrition means that you can be assured her advice will always be realistic and free of any BS.

Marika believes that health involves all aspects of physical, mental, and social wellbeing, and enjoys breaking down the myths and misconceptions in the industry to provide people with practical, sensible knowledge that allows them to make positive change, minus the confusion.

With a head full of big ideas, Marika is currently shaking things up with her small (yet mighty) team at Gut Started. Give this girl a long black with a dash of whatever milk is going and she’ll be ready to conquer the world.
