Cally Frost
Registered Dietitian
I’m based in Cape Town, South Africa. I am passionate about guiding individuals toward their health and wellness goals through personalised nutrition strategies. I work closely with patients, creating tailored plans that promote sustainable lifestyle changes and optimal well-being.
In addition to my work with patients, I serve as a Clinical Support Specialist at a leading genetic and preventative medicine laboratory. In this role, I assist healthcare professionals by interpreting complex laboratory reports and providing insights into preventative and functional medicine. I am dedicated to helping doctors make informed, evidence-based decisions that empower patients to take charge of their health.
With a background in both clinical nutrition and laboratory science, I bridge the gap between advanced genetic insights and practical, everyday nutrition. My mission is to ensure that every patient receives the most accurate and actionable recommendations for long-term health.I love to run, spend time outside (on the mountain or in the ocean) and eat good food!
Education:
BMedSci Honours Nutrition and Dietetics (University of Cape Town), BSc Human Life Sciences (Genetics) (Stellenbosch University).

What would this look like?
MONTH 1
During the initial consultation, we’ll dig deep into your history, your current concerns, and personal goals to create a unique 3-month plan. This typically involves a customized nutrition plan, some foundational supplement recommendations, and advanced lab recommendations. Lab test kits will be sent to your address for you to collect the sample, and DHL will pick up the collected sample and ship it back to us for analysis.
MONTH 2
We discuss any relevant your test results and create a multi-phase (2-3 month) targeted supplement protocol. We'll also make any necessary dietary changes. We continue to adjust your supplement plan based on your individual response to the doses, and monitor your progress, shifting to bring you closer to your goals.
MONTH 3
We continue to adjust or progress with your supplement protocol (typically moving into the last phase) as well as your nutrition, and create a maintenance plan to continue to experience health improvements.

1. ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
We can’t treat what we don’t know. I identify the root cause of chronic health issues to ensure targeted treatments that address the origin of dysfunction, leading to lasting health outcomes.
Our Methodology
2. DATA-DRIVEN RESULTS
We rely on the the most advanced functional lab tests (stool, urine, saliva, and blood) to get hundreds of biomarkers about your gut microbiome, hormone levels, nutrient status, toxic load, and metabolic health to determine your individual health needs.
3. ELIMINATING ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS & UNDERLYING INFECTIONS
I create targeted supplement plans to help remove toxic build up and hidden pathogens (like bacteria, mold, fungi, or viruses) to reduce chronic inflammation and disease risk, promoting optimal cellular and systemic health.
4. NORMALIZING THE STRESS RESPONSE & CIRCADIAN RHYTHM
I help you fix or improve your daily rhythm, which can cause depression, anxiety, insomnia, and / or fatigue if not functioning properly. A healthy two-toned rhythm makes you productive, energetic, and excited during the day, while keeping you calm, relaxed, and restful at night.
5. IMPROVING METABOLIC HEALTH
I help you improve blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, and thyroid function (among others), to improve your metabolism of food and reduce risk of lifestyle diseases.
6. OPTIMIZING SLEEP & RECOVERY
Healing cannot occur without the nightly repair and detoxification process that occurs in deep sleep. Sleep also impacts your immune system and inflammation levels. I help you remove any blocks preventing you from falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking up energetic, to support healing and regeneration.
7. TARGETING THE BRAIN AS A MASTER REGULATOR
Our brain is the “control center” of our stress response, sleep, immune system, hormone levels, and cognitive function - including but not limited to focus, alertness, memory, and mood. Utilizing brain nutrients and normalizing overactive or underactive processes that occur in the brain is critical for those who need it.
8. MAXIMIZING HEALTHSPAN THROUGH LONGEVITY PROTOCOLS
The goal isn’t to live longer, it’s to live healthier for longer. I help you target anti-aging pathways in the body to prevent the development of disease, improve quality of life, and reduce the clinical signs and symptoms of aging or age-related decline (both mental and physical).
