About Brett Northam

Brett Northam is an Accredited Practicing Nutritionist (APN) serving clients within Forster, NSW.

Brett has a keen interest in supporting clients with hormonal and reproductive health concerns, perimenopausal support, autoimmune conditions, and adjunctive nutritional care in mental health.

His clinical approach emphasises evidence-based practice, collaboration with other healthcare professionals, and individualised care with mutually agreed-upon goals and treatment.

Brett’s philosophy is that when health foundations are built on a balanced, nourishing diet, regular movement, and quality sleep, individuals are better equipped to thrive in all areas of life. He applies this philosophy through patient-centred, empathetic care and a food-first approach, with targeted practitioner-only supplementation used where clinically appropriate.

Drawing on lived experience following a twelve-year career in the Australian Army, Brett offers personalised nutrition plans, lifestyle strategies, and practical goal setting in a supportive and compassionate manner.

Brett lives in Forster with his wife, daughter, and their labradoodle, Basil. Outside of clinical practice, his interests include strength training, ice baths, cooking, chess, and collecting vintage movie posters.
