About

Kath Fouhy is a New Zealand Registered Dietitian and is a leader in the field of nutrition and dietetics. Since opening her Wellington private practice in 2006, Kath has built a very successful client base and has help over 1100 New Zealanders achieve a healthier lifestyle.

Kath studied at the University of Otago, initially in Physiotherapy and then in nutrition. Dunedin provided the ideal setting for her to continue her love of sport and outdoors, surviving many sporting challenges including the Dunedin marathon. After completing her training, Kath moved north and worked as a nutrition consultant for Nikki Hart Dietitians Ltd in Auckland before opening Fouhy Dietitians in Wellington.

Kath is a member of Sport & Exercise Science New Zealand and a nutrition provider for the NZ Academy of Sport. She is the dietitian to many elite high performance athletes including Olympic and Commonwealth Games athletes, the BLACKCAPS and the Hurricanes. Kath also works with the NZ School of Dance and Wellington Golf.

Although many of Kath’s clients are athletes, she also has a strong interest and provides nutrition support in the areas of gastro-enterology, women’s health, weight management and diabetes. Kath regularly presents  workplace health & wellness seminars, writes monthly columns for publications such as the NZ Wilderness magazine and articles for the Sarah Ulmer Brand.

Kath combines her love of food and enthusiasm with sound nutrition advice and provides individually tailored nutrition plans that are personally suited to lifestyle and family. She assists New Zealanders in achieving a healthy lifestyle through optimal nutrition – and without even taking away all the favourites.

“Eating well in not about depriving yourself of all the things that taste good, instead providing your body with the fuel it needs to get the most out of life”
