Michelle Holt

Whilst completing the Master of Nutrition & Dietetics at Deakin University in 2001, I met my future Diet Solutions business partner Jaci Barrett. We remained friends after graduating and then joined forces in 2013. Since then our business and families have grown-up and grown bigger together. I love that now we have the opportunity to work alongside each other and within such a knowledgeable, empathic and driven team.

Outside of dietetics, my happy place exists moving in nature and music.  I love all things food - the making, the sharing (and the eating).

Listener. Whimsical. Mover. Circumspect.

My Experience

I have a strong clinical interest in gastrointestinal health and work closely with clients experiencing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional gut disorders, food intolerances, and other ongoing digestive concerns. What fascinates me most is how the gut microbiome plays a role in how we feel, both physically and emotionally.

I have worked across both clinical and private practice settings in Melbourne and the UK, and have also served as a consultative dietitian for Deakin University and Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food program. Through this work, I've come to deeply appreciate how food and nutrition are woven into our sense of identity, culture, and connection with others.

Every individual’s relationship with food is unique, and my approach is grounded in listening to each person’s story. I aim to help clients build confidence, clarity, and a more positive connection with food — one that supports both their physical and emotional wellbeing.
