ALUMNI BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

The Healthy Eating Hub

The Healthy Eating Hub, founded by registered nutritionist and UC alum Kate Freeman, started as a humble healthy eating blog in 2009. As her blog grew, the need for a physical space did too, with its doors first opening in December 2013. 

By 2020, the company had experienced extreme growth and the decision to develop a sister brand was made. As a result, The Healthy Eating Clinic was born, becoming Canberra’s only dedicated nutrition facility.

The Healthy Eating Hub continued its online presence, differentiating itself as the home to Australia’s only online habit-building program. Unlike many other online programs, The Healthy Eating Hub doesn't simply provide a meal plan with the expectation it will change all habits instantly in order to see success. Instead, the program focuses on teaching nutrition principles and how they can be established as a habit in everyday life, giving clients the knowledge and confidence to make educated decisions and live a happier, healthier life. The Healthy Eating Hub has also recently announced their plans to build an app to be released by the end of the year, providing even easier access to their endless resources and support from the palm of your hand.
