25.01.2022 Healthy lifestyle behaviors are good for our health, independent of where our weight sits. @thegirlsgonestrong

24.01.2022 Build yourself a hearty smoothie. Some great tips in the post below. In addition it also can be nice to add some ice squares/frozen fruit to make it extra chilly when it is warm outside

23.01.2022 Happy new year

23.01.2022 A great reminder. You cannot 'boost' your immune system with foods and supplements. Watch out for any product trying to sell itself this way and trying to tell you otherwise.

20.01.2022 Happy Valentine’s Day for yesterday

18.01.2022 Merry Christmas from us

18.01.2022 Telehealth (online or phone) consultations with a Dietitian can now be claimed through Medicare for patients with a GP care plan Please get in touch if you would like to change appointments to this format, or if you have any questions

18.01.2022 Another lesson in marketing, the slight change in the wording on a product can make a difference to the quality of the product you are buying. Below is a great comparison of Greek Yoghurt vs Greek-Style Yoghurt

12.01.2022 Have you ever wondered if certain food choices could positively/negatively impact your sleep

11.01.2022 Have you ever wondered what a dietitian does? I was lucky enough to speak on the ‘Health Speak’ podcast about my role. Our 12 minute chat is available to listen to below

10.01.2022 Are you isolating with children at home? It can be challenging providing a calm environment for food intake, and incredibly tempting to bribe or reward children with certain foods. None of us are perfect, but remember that bribing or rewarding foods can lead to kids becoming more obsessive about them or seeking them out more frequently even if they don’t necessarily feel like them. Offering them in a calm environment without the precedence of them being a reward/treat en...ables children to enjoy them how they feel like. Please see below for a great example of this! Nobody is perfect though, number one rule is to be proud that you are doing the best you can

10.01.2022 A great reminder, and a challenging concept to get our heads around at times (misleading marketing often adds to this ). The quality of the carbohydrates we are choosing does matter, and how a food is processed will impact the nutritional quality of that food. Even if it starts from the same ingredient

09.01.2022 The overuse of the word processed has led to the term processed food being linked with ‘less nutritious’. Although this is true in some cases it is not a blanket rule, in fact food processing is an incredibly important function in aiding us to be able to eat the varieties of foods we are now able to

08.01.2022 Tis the season, happy December You may have noticed it is also a time of year where people tend to comment more on appearance, may feel the need to get ‘summer ready’, or may feel stress about patterns they have fallen into during an unusual 2020. Remember, these comments can have a big impact on the people around you. Including children. Below is a great guide to help nurture and nourish children’s body image and help them to build a positive relationship with food

07.01.2022 If your routine has changed with the current isolation requirements, don’t forget to check in with your bowels

07.01.2022 Ticking off 2020 goals with a half marathon

05.01.2022 An always important reminder to look past the health halos written on packages when trying to make informed choices about which products you want to use

03.01.2022 Sorry for the absense, Fig is still here!! Fig Nutrition has been a bit absent on your feed recently as I try and adapt to the new social climate. To help support your health and nutrition needs in this time I have been up-skilling in the world of Telehealth. Although I am still available in both clinics for face-to-face consultations, I am encouraging patients to book in for a Telehealth (via Zoom) or telephone consultation. With the changes in medicare item numbers, I am... now able to bulk bill any Telehealth (Zoom or phone) consultation for a patient with a current GP enhanced primary care plan or eating disorder management plan. Private health rebates may also be available (please check with your provider). If you have any questions regarding this please get in touch! Take care and stay safe, Milly x
