Dietary health has come out on top with B:HIVE-based Feel Fresh Nutrition scoring an exciting contract with Southern Cross Health Insurance.
Members of Southern Cross are eligible to receive major discounts on consultant and nutritionist fees with Feel Fresh Nutrition until December 10.
Feel Fresh Nutrition owner Abbie O’Rourke says this applies to the 900,000 Southern Cross members nationwide.
“This is the first time ever that we have had access to so many people, it’s exciting. We know the role nutrition plays in our health and now, more than ever, people are seeking additional help. Having an unhealthy diet is the leading preventable risk for poor health in New Zealand, not mention how it makes us feel and perform,” she says.
Abbie says Southern Cross’ commitment shows that nutritional health is being further recognised as important for overall good health.
“People used to see us as just weight loss consultants, but it’s now understood that it impacts every part of our lives. We provide nutritional solutions for anxiety, high performance, sports performance, gut health, hormonal balance and everything else,” she says.
“For a lot of people [nutrition] used to be secondary to financial planning or physical health and now we’re seeing it become a really important part of being a healthy person.”
This current offering is a saving of $95 when booking in for the ‘Southern Cross Members Package’. This package includes a 60 minute initial consultation and two 30 minute follow-up consults. The standard fee for this package is $385, but only costs $290. Also, Southern Cross Health Insurance members who have Ultra Care are 100% covered, and members that have Wellbeing Two plus Body Care Module have an allocation of $250/year for nutritionists under the Feel Fresh deal.
The focus at Feel Fresh Nutrition, is not only on individual wellbeing but workplace wellbeing, Abbie says.
“A lot of the work that we do is in the workplace and many of our corporate clients are also Southern Cross members. It’s incredible how many people have access to this, but they are not aware of it. Nutritional is now top of mind when workplace wellbeing is considered.
“This partnership with Southern Cross has made nutritional help incredibly accessible to so many people.”
