Rocco Di Vincenzo is a Consultant Dietitian who has a strong integrative 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, purposeful 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.

He worked as a Community Senior Dietitian for over a decade and was the Swinburne University Hospital Chief Dietitian, the first Integrative Hospital in the Southern Hemisphere.

In an effort to improve wider nutritional understanding and empower communities, Rocco has created group nutrition education programs offering supermarket shopping tours, and presentations on a range of health topics of particular community interest enabling individuals to make informed decisions pertaining to their own health. Rocco has a strong social and philanthropic sense and has committed to pro bono consultations for those in need, particularly children in local communities that do not have the means to be able to access evidence-based complementary healthcare assistance. Rocco also provides consultations in fluent Italian. Rocco also established the first Dietitians in Integrative Functional Nutritional and Environmental Discussion Group for APDs in Australia. The group is now known as the Advanced Medical Nutrition Education Centre (AMNEC) and is convened 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. Over time, the group expanded to develop strategic alliances with neutraceutical companies, functional pathology laboratories and institutes of functional medicine.
