Carin Clegg completed a Bachelor of Science, Nutrition with Honours from the University of Sydney in 2004. She has been an Accredited Practising Dietitian and an active member of Dietitians Australia since 2005. 

Early in her career, Carin worked in Queensland, Tasmania and New South Wales, obtaining a good grounding in all medical nutrition therapies in the hospital and community setting. Then, travelling overseas to the United Kingdom, she directed her career focus toward paediatrics and allergies. Whilst completing the British Dietetic Association Course, Paediatric Dietetics Module 1: Paediatrics in Infancy and Childhood and the Anaphylaxis Campaign’s Health Professional Allergy Management Course, she worked in one-stop allergy clinics, paediatric hospital wards and in the community running fussy eating groups, weaning groups and cooking classes.

Carin worked at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Allergy Unit with the team that originally developed the RPAH Elimination diet, the gold standard test method to diagnose food intolerance. Over the past 40 years, they have been perfecting its application as a diagnostic tool to identify food chemicals one is intolerant to, and tailoring individualised diets to help clients manage their symptoms better. 

Carin has worked in the disability sector since 2012 and is trained in the Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Approach to feeding.  

Carin understands how hard it is these days to get the right balance in life which is why she completed her fitness training, holding a Certificate III and IV in Fitness to become a Fitness Professional and now runs Zumba Gold classes.

Carin is a greenie at heart, zipping her way towards a zero-waste lifestyle and an active member of Permaculture Central Coast.

Bright Diets aims to be as eco-friendly as possible.  Carin believes this way of living is better for the planet and builds positive food values and knowledge essential to living a healthy and fulfilling life.
