Jazmin Scott from Adaptive Dietetics will be working from our rooms on Wednesdays as of the 16th of October.
Jazmin Scott is an Accredited Practicing Dietitian who studied on the Gold Coast but has recently moved back to Mackay. She is a passionate foodie, and has a high interest in nutrition, health and wellbeing, and in addition, the sciences involved. Jazmin's goal as a dietitian is to work together to support clients and the community on their own nutrition journey to be able to achieve their nutrition goals with an evidenced-based approach in a sustainable way.
The team at Adaptive Dietetics believes in providing holistic, proactive healthcare to all of the communities they serve by understanding and removing barriers for clients and providing education in conjunction with clinical intervention to enable them to understand and manage their conditions long term.

We look forward to working with Jazmin to support the needs of our patients and the greater Mackay community. ​
ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING SEMAGLUTIDE & TIRZEPATIDE:
It has come to Paul Hopkins Medical's attention that some compounding chemists have been adding products (such as vitamins) to their compounded semaglutide (sometimes referred to/as replica's of Ozempic & Wegovy) and tirzepatide (sometimes referred to/as replica of Mounjaro) which are not listed on the label.
As such, we do not recommend the ongoing use of these products.
If you are taking this medication, please discuss other options with your doctor. You can book a telephone appointment with your doctor online or call the clinic on 49511311.
Note: this does not refer to any of the above medications provided by local pharmacies.
