Nikki Edwards-Kalaf is an Accredited Practising Dietitian and founder of Nudge Nutrition, a Brisbane-based practice offering in-person and telehealth care across Australia. She completed her Master of Dietetic Studies at the University of Queensland, where her major research project examined dietary intake during the initial stages of GLP-1 receptor agonist use for Australian adults living with obesity. Nikki’s clinical placements included the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, Queensland Children’s Hospital, Princess Alexandra Hospital and the Institute of Urban Indigenous Health. She now provides nutrition support for medical weight management alongside treating doctors, and also works in weight-inclusive care, menopause, chronic disease, paediatric feeding and neurodivergent eating. Her approach is evidence-based, judgment-free and built around what people actually eat. Nikki is passionate about translating research into practical guidance that supports people to eat well at any stage.
