Our Story
After implementing protocols such as GAPs/carnivore/paleo/keto, I realised each had useful elements. But no single one worked best as a complete solution for many clients. It didn’t allow them to eventually eat an all real whole foods diet symptom free, a true solution. The ultimate healing diet that works best in my opinion is a fusion of the BEST parts of each healing modality.
I found many people do well with an initial red meat base, inclusion of carbohydrates, different fat quantities, omission of certain plants, food reintroduction in a different order, varied quantities of stock/broth. This tailored approach is where I find incredible reversals occurring for concerns such as skin conditions, arthritis, nerve damage, fibromyalgia, heart conditions, hormonal conditions, without long term restriction.
There’s a gap in the market for updated tailored protocols that works with the needs of each unique individual. We are all so different. Healing from many diseases IS possible with the right approach.
Animal based Elimination healing diets are the way forward. They will only continue to grow in popularity because of how well they work. Proper protocols condenses over a decade of practitioner experience with healing diets into a streamlined results driven process for you.
No synthetic supplements. No masking with herbs. No long term dependence on practitioners. No on and off diets. No nonsense.
Instead, the aim is to do a healing protocol once and for all. You’ll leave long term being empowered to live healthier independently.

Founder, CEO & Head Nutritionist
My journey began 13 years ago in my first year of university. I was struggling with various health concerns such as severe acne, eczema, PCOS, IBS, frequent UTIs, anxiety, hair loss, gallstones and chronic fatigue. I was fortunate enough to work with an alternative Nutritionist who implemented an Ancestral healing diet. Within a year I was a brand new person. I was healthy and functional all through the power of real food and living.
This sparked my desire to complete a degree in Applied science and Nutrition (RMIT/LaTrobe). However the information taught didn’t align with my own experience and the alternative evidence out there. I continued to dedicate myself to study, research and diving deeper into questioning the mainstream narratives.
Over the past decade I worked across various top Nutrition companies and clinics in Melbourne building experience in treating clients with varied health conditions. I trained under some of the industries top practitioners. However, I built my own methods and understandings that set me apart. I eventually saw a gap in the market for a health service that is traditional food based, detaching from the supplement centric and outdated food standards space. Something more fine tuned and tailored to each individual. This then inspired me to open my own Practice, Proper Nutrition. Our community has immensely grown and boasts an impressive list of success stories that I have been able to facilitate.
I have built skills in performing varied tailored health condition reversal programs. From my own experience in disease reversal to working with many others on their journeys to full health, my knowledge has expanded beyond what I thought possible. My strengths are in working with complex cases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn’s/Ulcerative Colitis, Psoriasis, Fibromyalgia etc.
Providing in depth and passionate care for clients is of the utmost importance to me.
Vanessa Scibilia
Assistant Nutritionist
My journey to health was anything but conventional. For over 11 years, I struggled with a range of chronic conditions, including fibromyalgia, MCAS, chronic fatigue, POTS, exercise intolerance, SIBO, candida, chronic constipation, food intolerances, anxiety, hormonal imbalances and more. Despite seeing numerous doctors, specialists and health practitioners, I often felt dismissed and unheard. I was told it was all in my head, and I was left feeling isolated in my own body. But I didn’t give up.
Taking my health into my own hands, I began researching, attending seminars, and reading books. I dove into the world of functional nutrition and discovered a whole new approach to healing. As I learned more, I started applying what I had discovered to my own life, additionally I completed the Proper Nutrition Protocol - and the results were life changing. I healed my body, overcame chronic pain, regained my energy, and took control of my life and well being.
It was through my healing journey that I found my true calling: to help others achieve the same transformation. I pursued studies in Fundamentals of Functional Nutrition and Applied Functional Nutrition to deepen my knowledge and empower myself to support others in their own health journeys.
As a busy mum, I understand the challenges that come with making time for healing - but I also know that it’s possible. I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way, just as I did for myself.
Whether you’re struggling with chronic illness, gut issues, fatigue, hormonal imbalances, or simply want to feel better, I’m here to help you reclaim your health, your energy, and your life.
