Rocco Di Vincenzo is an Accredited Practicing Dietitian who has a strong functional nutritional and environmental medicine focus in his private practice and has formal qualifications in this area.
Rocco’s focus is on multidisciplinary, holistic, individually tailored, patient-centred nutrition intervention programs and the justifiable, evidence-based, systematic, strategic, goal-oriented use of pharmaceutical grade, practitioner only nutritional supplements to work in conjunction with GP/Specialist prescribed pharmaceuticals as a treatment adjunct in helping treat the cause of disease and alleviation of patient symptomatology. Rocco has a special interest in addressing gastrointestinal and liver dysfunction and disorders (including NASH/NAFLD), neurological disorders such as depression/anxiety, neuropsychiatric disorders including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), autoimmune disorders and metabolic syndrome. Rocco also established the first Dietitians in Integrative Functional Nutritional and Environmental Medicine Discussion Group for APDs in Australia. The group is now known as the Advanced Medical Nutrition Education Centre (AMNEC) and is convened by Rocco in conjunction with Associate Professor Antigone Kouris (APD). The group originally sought to support, and guide interested Dietitians in this emerging area of advanced nutritional medicine and provide them with a supportive base from which they can then go onto explore for themselves via accredited institutions post graduate training to confidently develop skills and expertise in this area. AMNEC is currently expanding its vision and work towards developing strategic alliances with nutraceutical companies, functional pathology laboratories and institutes of functional medicine. The group is currently in the process of expanding its education base and is currently planning several webinars and seminars for 2022. AMNEC have an active Facebook page and website (www.amnec.com.au), which has just been redesigned and launched.
