Explore how Neuro Rehab Nutrition supported Client B—a woman with severe brain injury, coeliac disease, and visual impairment—to lose 17 kg and reclaim her independence through a highly personalised, coeliac-safe nutrition plan. This powerful case highlights the impact of sensory-aware, emotionally intelligent dietetic care in transforming mobility, confidence, and quality of life. Read on to see how food became the foundation for freedom, strength, and renewed participation.

At Neuro Rehab Nutrition, we supported Client B, a woman in her late 30s with a severe brain injury, coeliac disease, and visual impairment, through a highly complex neurorehabilitation journey. When we began in May 2023, she weighed 112 kg and faced significant barriers to independent eating due to cognitive, sensory, and mobility challenges. Working closely with her and her multidisciplinary team, we developed a coeliac-safe, nutrient-rich plan tailored to her neurological and emotional needs. Over 20 months, she lost 17 kg (15% of her body weight), resulting in improved mobility, balance, confidence, and daily independence.

Our specialist dietitians led interventions that addressed metabolic risk, emotional eating, portion control, and nutrient deficiencies—while training her care team to support consistency and safety. Visual adaptations, routine-building, and emotionally attuned care helped rebuild mealtime autonomy and reduce anxiety. Client B now engages in regular physical activity and social life, including walking, gym sessions, and school pickups.

This case highlights how Neuro Rehab Nutrition’s expert, relationship-based dietetic care can drive life-changing outcomes—restoring health, agency, and quality of life in complex neurorehabilitation.
