25.01.2022 Earlier this month I had the great pleasure of meeting Dominc D’Agostino - aka The King of Keto. Dominic is a researcher and associate professor with a diverse and impressive background in neuroscience, molecular pharmacology, nutrition and physiology. He teaches at the Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida (USF). He is also a Research Scientist at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition and his impressive resume includes a stint working with NA...SA! Dominic had travelled from America to present a seminar on Nutritional Ketosis here in Brisbane. The seminar covered a wide range of topics including the effect of ketogenic diet on the gut microbiome, cognition, diabetes, genetic expression, inflammation and cancer. I was privileged to be able to sit with Dominic during the post-seminar dinner and pick his brains about a topic dear to my heart - ketogenic diet and exogenous ketones for children with Kabuki Syndrome, Dominic is one of the lead researchers in current research being conducted in this area. Dominic was extremely generous with sharing his time, knowledge and expertise in relation to all things keto. I was delighted to discover that while Dominic is heavily involved in researching the use of exogenous ketones, he also recognizes and advocates for the necessity of appropriate diet in conjunction with the use of dietary supplements. We discussed the potential nutritional deficiencies that can be associated with some of the traditional medical ketogenic diets, and the need to include a variety of low carbohydrate vegetables to support overall nutritional status when undertaking a ketogenic diet. My time with Dominic has vastly increased my confidence in trailing the use of exogenous ketones with some of my client base, and I’m looking forward to seeing some positive results with this approach. I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from a man with such a wealth of experience and expertise. Please feel free to reach out for a consultation if you are interested in exploring the benefits of the ketogenic diet. Keto Nutrition
14.01.2022 Playdates don't have to mean junk food. Offer a platter with a range of healthy choices and you will likely be pleasantly surprised by how much is gobbled up. This entire platter was demolished by two young girls and their mums. Include some vegies, fruit, protein and healthy fats to get a great range of healthy nutrients and satisfy hungry tummies. This platter contains capsicum (red peppers)- olives, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, chicken, rice crackers, mandarin, apples sttawberries and a dip made with Dijon mustard and whole egg mayo, but you can mix it up with whatever takes your fancy. I've found that lttle bits of lots of things tends to be better received than a plate with larger portions of just one or two things. Why not try this out next time you have littlies come to visit?
14.01.2022 Lazy breakfast..banana, mango, raspberry and coconut cream smoothie. For a more complete meal add some hemp seed or LSA for protein and some.avocado for extra creaminess and healthy fat. But it's super delicious and filling just like this.
12.01.2022 Deeply nourishing and delicious chicken and veggie soup. Made with homemade chicken stock, carrots, celery, swede, spinach, Cavolo Nero (black Tuscan kale), cannellini beans, garlic and ginger. Fresh sprouts and sauerkraut thrown on top before serving to enhance digestion and gut health. This bowl of goodness is packed full of flavour. The sweetness from the swede perfectly balances the bitterness of the kale, and the pop of sourness from the kraut makes my taste buds smile :) Enjoy!
07.01.2022 Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending a seminar by Dr Elisa Song MD about integrative treatment strategies for children with complex medical needs. She's a paediatrician based in the US (SF) but travels the world to share her knowledge, so I was lucky enough to meet her all the way over here in Australia. The seminar content was outstanding. The perfect addition to my ever-growing toolkit of strategies to help kids with challenges to be the best version of themselves p...ossible. I also had the chance to talk to Andrew Whitfield-Cook from FX Medicine, who had coincidentally just hosted a podcast about clinical interventions using ketones the previous day. And that podcast had made mention of Kabuki Syndrome! Feeling grateful to have had the opportunity to soak up more knowledge about one of my biggest passions - optimal nutrition and lifestyle interventions for children and young adults.

07.01.2022 It's cold and flu season in Australia. The perfect time to support your immune system with some delicious homemade Fire Cider. Apple cider vinegar, brown onion, red onion, garlic, ginger, horseradish, tumeric, carrot, celery, apple, rosemary, thyme, orgeno, green and red chillis, lemon. Cover the chopped ingredients with the apple cider vinegar and place in a darkened cupboard for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, add a little local honey (for best antihistamine benefits) and drain... off the liquid. The vinegar can be taken as a digestive and immune boosting tonic - 5mls to 15 mls per day, or a bit more if you have a cold or flu. If you don't enjoy it straight (I LOVE it straight), you can dilute it into a tea, or use it as a salad vinegar. Blitz up the seperated solids to make a tasty and fiery immune-boosting paste to add to your curries, soups or stir-fries.. Nom nom. The recipe can be varied so don't get too caught up on the exact ingredients. This is one of my favourite combinations, but I also love it with orange as well as lemon. There are plenty of variations to this recipe out there, so find what suits you best, and enjoy!
