16.01.2022 "I think that Pete should stick to pearl couscous and the scientists can stick to pertussis," Australian Medical Association President Dr Michael Gannon said on Monday.

16.01.2022 We sat down with one of our newest board member Whitney Atkinson, Owner, Founder and Accredited Practising Dietitian Advanced Nutrition to find out about her jo...urney.... How did you come up with idea to start your business? I have always had a passion for health sciences, and so continued my study with a Master of Dietetics. Being Ballarat born and bred, I think we have such fabulous sporting facilities and athletes coming out of our city, which is in discord to our rising rates of overweight, obesity and chronic disease risk. It seemed a natural fit for me to provide an evidence-based practice to improve dietary choices, whether it be with the aim to fuel our bodies for optimal sporting performance or reducing chronic disease risk. What is unique about your business? I am a Dietitian focusing on an individuals diet and health conditions to reduce short and long term health implications. Instead of selling a tangible item, I work with an individual's motivations, preferences and level of education, to inspire and evoke habit change. I work as a consulting Dietitian, currently supporting clients of Central Highlands Surgeons, Spectrum Active Health and Springs Medical Centre. What were the most important factors that contributed to your business success? 1. The unwavering support of my partner. 2. The continued encouragement of our families. 3. The opportunities to network and for mentorship offered by Commerce Ballarat. 4. My fierce determination and give it a go attitude. How do you generate new ideas? Hmmm, I am constantly inspired! It might be by a professional workshops with colleagues, or over a glass of wine with friends on a Friday afternoon, or while making dinner and stirring the one-pot wonder, or while walking my enthusiastic pup with my partner. What’s something very few people know about you? I love adventure. I am an open water scuba diver and have done numerous treks. I have spent Christmas at the Taj Mahal, a birthday in a sleeping bag on the Great Wall of China, camped for 42 days through Africa ... but almost failed geography and whatever you do don't ask me to give you directions! Who knows where you'll end up! What’s your most inspirational/motivational quote? "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them" - Albert Einstein
