Testimonials

I came to Delia because I was desperate to find a solution to my digestive problem, as there weren’t many things I could eat anymore, no energy and feeling low.

With Delia’s help I am now a new woman! I can now enjoy my foods again (within limitations) but there has been surprisingly wonderful side effect to my journey, my skin is so much less dry, my hair is thicker, and I have eyelashes again!

Full of energy and my gut and brain are back to how I used to be.

I feel confident that I will continue to improve with Delia’s incredible support and knowledge.

Thank you, Delia! I can’t thank you enough as you have given me my life back!

I was keen to learn more about the relationship between food and its impact on the body's performance/behaviour.

This course reinforced my understanding of the value of nutrition and its importance for our long-term wellbeing.

It was great to learn more about the right foods to eat to improve my health.

I enjoyed the Q and A sessions, especially the opportunity to ask questions and get answers from Delia directly!

I was desperate for help with long standing digestive issues. I had heartburn every day, it affected my sleep badly, I had very little energy and was often bloated. I was also gaining weight which made me more miserable. 

Delia had things for me to do immediately after we started working together and within 24 hours my heartburn and bloating were gone. We worked on a simple strategy to find my trigger foods and how to best start healing my gut and which foods were best for me to eat and when. 

I immediately knew when I’d eaten something that made the symptoms come back, so we quickly worked out what those ‘trigger’ foods were. 

Delia also insisted I see my doctor for some specific blood tests which revealed that I was also dealing with a nasty digestive infection that needed attention. All the foods the doctor told me would increase my good bacteria and heal my gut were already on my plate each day, so I knew my healing was already well underway. 

Over the four weeks I’ve worked with Delia I’ve also lost weight, now have loads of energy, and my digestive system is 100% fine again! And I know that my brain is benefiting too, with clearer thinking and improved mood. Thank you so much Delia! I feel like myself again, only a better version!

Our staff were captivated by Delia’s excellent and professional presentation and left feeling excited and inspired. Delia is very knowledgeable in her area and has a gift for making complicated science sound really simple for everyone. Our staff were able to relate with Delia’s warm and personable nature and felt they will be able to attend a full day session with her. Delia very generously pre- prepared some treats from one of her cookbooks and staff were amazed that treats made with healthy, whole food ingredients can taste so good.

Helena B, Anglicare, Brisbane, Australia


Thanks again for inviting me to attend the session. I really loved it and I could listen to Delia all day. I have heard many different sessions on the brain and trauma but I found Delia's to be very easy to understand and take in. She has a great mix of fact and humor and she never once came across as judgmental, which can happen with some people in the nutrition industry

I took a couple of photos of the book so when I got home that night I made the ice cream and the fudge and also the chocolate Mousse. So far the family are loving them. I was super pleased with how easy they where to make.

I have has the pleasure of hearing Delia speak on two occasions. The first was at an organic farming workshop where she gave a presentation on feeding the brain.  It was enormously informative and went well beyond the nutrition aspects.  Everyone went away inspired to use the new found knowledge to improve their health and wellbeing.  As a result of that presentation I introduced Delia to Altura Learning, an international provider of learning solutions to the health, disability and ageing sectors. 

The second presentation was via video conference where she spoke to the staff of Altura Learning in three countries.  She spoke about how to manage stress during the COVID-19 lockdown.  Her presentation hit the mark brilliantly.  Her message was practical, clear and easy to understand, with the right mix of technical information.  It was very reassuring for the staff who were coping with isolation and uncertainty.

Delia has an excellent knowledge of mental health and wellbeing and is very effective at passing on that knowledge.

Pat McIntosh, AM, CSC, Chair, Altura Learning Australia


I had the pleasure of meeting Delia some 18 months ago & was absolutely inspired by Delia's knowledge & the connection Delia has made & evidenced between diet, lifestyle & our mental well being. Feed Your Brain is an absolute must read! With the recent event - COVID-19, as a CEO I wanted to be able to provide support & tools to employees so that they could maximise their own mental health during this unprecedented time. Delia joined our global staff meeting via Skype and shared various strategies and coping skills, all of which designed to optimise mental health during this time & beyond. Delia was very well received with many employees having adopted several techniques. Delia, thankyou for sharing your expertise and passion - I look forward to much more to come.

Yvie Webley, CEO at Altura Learning and Altura Learning Academy


I have had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Delia several times. I enjoy the passion she has for sharing her wealth of knowledge to make people’s lives better through diet and lifestyle.

Reading her book was an enlightening experience; logical, practical advice, based on real science and years of research. Delia explains the intrinsic link between sensible diet choices and improved mental and emotional wellbeing. This is such an important message that cannot be ignored. I thoroughly recommend reading Delia’s book and inviting her to inspire your staff. Good choices lead to better choices.

Dr Delia’s philosophy has changed lives for the better, including my own. Her book "Feed Your Brain" is another example of her unique, and meaningful perspective. Her messages are rare and insightful. This is the kind of book you absorb, and wish to hand from friend to friend, from sister to sister. Her writing has the ability to create inspiration, fresh thoughts and excitement all in the pages of a book. She gives practical, wholesome wisdom on health and how to become more thoughtful in our daily lives. There are few authors who’s words create a new and positive lived experience from the reader, and this is one of them.

Delia is one of those people who is passionate about life and wants to share her knowledge with all those around her to enlighten and enrich their lives. Delia has an insatiable knowledge of the relationship between food, mental health and exercise. Working as a dentist, in community health, I am aware of the complex issues surrounding mental health but it has been Delia who has been an important reference for information about the impact of food on the mind and the body with the necessary focus on prevention. Delia is at the forefront of the association between diet and mental health, an area that is currently exploding and she provides supporting information in an environment where mental health has previously been poorly understood with limited answers. Delia is an amazing inspiration. I respect her dedication immensely.

Dr Susan Stagg BDSC, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia


I will always remember the first day I saw Delia speak. I felt she was speaking directly to me and I had quiet tears rolling down my face as I realised there may be help for the way I was feeling. I can't imagine what my health would be like now if I hadn't heard Delia speak and subsequently made the changes that she recommended. Delia summarises complex science beautifully, and enabled me to implement changes at home which resulted in positive outcomes for us all, including my young son whose concentration and approach to school work has improved. 

K Guthrie, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia (Attendee at ‘Feed Your Brain’ Presentation)


Attending a talk given by Delia, I was completely amazed at her knowledge and insight. I'm not sure how she crammed so much amazing and thought-provoking information into that hour and a half - it must have taken years of research to condense and present the life changing information Delia shared in such a concise and simple way! Delia is very approachable, friendly, professional and a joy to listen to - I wanted more at the end, as did everyone else in the audience!

Robyn Rubenstein (Psychologist), Melbourne, Victoria, Australia


I have had the great pleasure of hearing Delia McCabe speak on nurmerous occasions. Her extensive knowledge of the importance of feeding and nourishing the brain is not only inspiring, but has taught me so much about taking care of my own health.

Jane Kerr, New South Wales, Australia (Attendee at ‘Feed Your Brain’ Presentation)


Delia’s insight into what the brain needs to be fed - and what it’s not getting anymore - explains the energy, weight, fatigue and memory woes that are plaguing the modern brain! Using a unique mix of psychology and neurology, Delia’s genius around the stressed brain, sugar addictions, caffeine cravings and the ever-expanding muffin-top waistline, are unsurpassed! Delia provides hope, answers and solutions!

Tanya Targett, Los Angeles, USA (Attendee at ‘Feed Your Brain’ Presentation)


Delia’s warm approach and clear communication skills have left guests mesmerised by her knowledge and ability to convert solid science into practical day-to-day advice.  To see her healthy glow is a testament and a reflection of all the sayings - ‘Practice what you preach’, - ‘You are what you eat’ - Delia ‘Talks the Talk’ and ‘Walks the Walk!!!’ It shows in every facet of her being. She is truly captivating! Her hour and a half talks always left guests wanting more. A highly intelligent, motivated woman, Delia’s approach is simple: keep it real and apply knowledge in practical ways.  

Gregg Cave, Director and General Manager, Gaia Retreat & Spa, New South Wales, Australia


I found Delia’s talk nothing short of life-changing. Who knew there was quite so much misinformation out there? I knew there was some, but have been shocked into action by listening to Delia. Without doubt the best hour and a half I have invested in a very long time.
