Meet Graeme
A dietitian who
thinks differently.
I’m Graeme Syme, a registered dietitian, and I’m dyslexic.
I founded Dyslexic Dietitian because health information is often harder than it needs to be. Dense language, conflicting headlines, and rigid rules can leave anyone feeling lost.
My approach translates the science into something human: visual, practical, and built around your real life. I believe good nutrition is not about perfection. It’s about understanding what works for you.
