25.01.2022 Dr Joanna McMillan!

24.01.2022 A tip on alternative milks: If you prefer using alternative milks such as soy, almond, or oats milk instead of cows milk, its a good idea to always choose one that is fortified with calcium. The alternative milks are naturally low in in this mineral but if you look for one that has at least 100mg/100ml added Cal, it will be close to the amount that dairy milk naturally has. Without this, it can be often a little tricky to get all the Cal that our bones need daily.

24.01.2022 Fruit is great! I often hear that people avoid fruit because they worry it might make them gain weight because of the sugars. Usually I find that there are others aspects in the diet that may be the true culprits and that 2-3 pieces of fruit would actually greatly benefit the person. Apart from fruit being fairly low in calories due to its high water content, below are many additional reasons for eating fruit daily from the great Dr Megan Rossi.

22.01.2022 Got a few undesired corona kilos in the last few months? Use the old empty-the-veg-drawer- trick and let all the veg simmer with a stock cube until soft and blitz with a stick blender into a warming soup. You can also throw in some red lentils and chia seeds for some protein and omega-3s. Leeks, onions, celery, fresh herbs, garlic and fennel are great for lots of flavour, and cauliflower, pumpkin, sweet potato and potato are good for adding some creaminess to your soup. Plenty of veg a few times a day will help you fill up with a nutritious, low calorie food thats not only going to help you trim down if thats what you desire, but also, - and most importantly, stay healthy this season!

21.01.2022 Greetings from Noosa, Queensland, where I did a beautiful hike along the Noosa Coastal Track on Saturday. I hope you also got some exercise in on the weekend - regular movement is just as important for health as good nutrition

21.01.2022 If youre thinking of cutting back how much meat you eat, here are some good tips.

21.01.2022 Learning more about improving nutrition in the later years of life at the wonderful Lantern Project conference today.

21.01.2022 Calcium, Vitamin D, phosphorus, Vitamin K and many other nutrients are, together with exercise, important in building strong bones up until our early twenties, and after that, in maintaining them as strong as possible for as long as possible.

20.01.2022 Great news, telehealth dietitians consultations are becoming available to more and more people in Australia - as of today, DVA (Dept. of Veterans Affairs) card holders with a GP referral can also book in for a telehealth consultation!

20.01.2022 Top tips for feeling good and avoiding weight gain in December 1. Fill up on the good stuff. On a day when you have a social function on, and you know you there will be plenty of scrumptious food and drink to enjoy, dont be tempted to skip any main meals (=breakfast/lunch/dinner) earlier that day. However, focus of fibre (veg, fruit, wholegrains, legumes, nuts, seeds) and lean protein (non-fatty meat, fish, legumes, tofu) and have a snack (a piece of fruit / a tub of...Continue reading

18.01.2022 Feel like something sweet? Try these no-bake weetbix slices. Link for the recipe in the comments. Easy and quick provided you have a food processor. You could use any dried fruit and seeds you have. I've used sunflower and pumpkin seeds, raisins, and I always use dark chocolate (min 70% cocoa solids) and multigrain weetbix.

18.01.2022 Happy Monday! I hope you have all had a good start to the week. Here I am just back from the farmers markets on Saturday... I think the fruit & veg should last us a few more days...

18.01.2022 Happy Easter everyone near and far!!

18.01.2022 What are you having for lunch today? Hopefully something that includes some veg! Its a lot easier to meet the recommended 5 serves of veg a day (1 serve = 1 cup of salad veg/ 0.5 cup of cooked veg) if you aim to include them in at least two of your daily meals or snacks. Salads for lunch are an easy way to really boost your veg intake, just remember to always add some protein (e.g. leftover meat/ fish/ legumes/cheese/seeds/nuts) so that it fills you up and you dont feel like a chocolate bar half an hour later

17.01.2022 If your cholesterol levels are even borderline high, its best to save coconut oil use for rare occasions

17.01.2022 This infographic from Dietetically Speaking is great . Processed doesnt always necessarily equal unhealthy.

Pretty impressive, hey? Watch the short video below to see how easy it is to make the switch.

15.01.2022 How regularly do you check in on your bowel health? June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month which aims to save lives through early detection. Its Australias seco...nd deadliest cancer but is one of the most treatable cancers, if found early. A healthy diet plays a key role in helping look after our bowel health. Drinking plenty of water along with prioritising foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains are just some of the ways you can help look after your bowel (and your overall health too).

13.01.2022 Is dairy inflammatory?What is chronic inflammation?Are turmeric lattes beneficial? The below podcast by Dr Tim Crowe answers all those questions and many more brilliantly

13.01.2022 This week marks PSNS's 2nd birthday week! In the past 2 years PSNS has helped numerous amount of people with a vast variety of health conditions and nutrition related concerns to lead healthier lives and to enjoy better relationships with food, and we continue to do so with a great passion. One of our favourite quotes from one of our clients this week was: "I would have never, ever expected to be told to eat MORE when I come here! "

12.01.2022 Vitamin D does have an important role in our immune fuction. Whilst sunlight is the best source of Vitamin D, food sources include fatty fish (such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, and to an extent - tuna), egg yolks, some fortified foods (some cereals and spreads), and mushrooms that have been exposed to sunlight.

11.01.2022 Did you know that most minerals (e.g. zinc, iron, magnesium, phosphorus etc) are unaffected by cooking, as is the majority of vitamins apart from Vitamin C, folate and thiamine? However, even if you cook your tomatoes (a great source of vitamin C) or spinach (a great source of folate, you will rarely loose more than 50% of these vitamins in the process. You can offset the losses by eating more of these foods, either cooked or raw. And remember, steaming is always better than boiling, or if you boil, leave the vegetables as large pieces as possible and if you can, use the boiling water also to take benefit of the leached out nutrients.

11.01.2022 Great little animation on what dietitians do

10.01.2022 I really think bread makers are under rated. When it takes you about one minute to throw all the ingredients in, you press a cpl of buttons and 1h 20mins later you have a fresh loaf of bread and your house smells divine... You can put in whatever flour, seeds and nuts you like, and as a bonus, your loafs can come in funky shapes like this if you dont really measure your ingredients

09.01.2022 My food highlight of this weekend will be getting my Finnish rye bread fix! Whats yours? #burleighbaker #goldcoasthealth #goldcoastlife #goldcoastfood #nutritiongoldcoast

09.01.2022 Wishing you all a very happy and merry Christmas and all the best for 2020!!!Wishing you all a very happy and merry Christmas and all the best for 2020!!!

08.01.2022 As Thinking Nutrition summarises, theres no need to worry about depleted soil when it comes to eating vegetables and fruit, we should rather worry about just not eating enough of them. Only 7% of Aussies eat the recommended amount of veg: 5 serves a day. One serve being 1 cup of salad veg or half a cup of cooked veg - are you getting enough?

07.01.2022 Spinach, fetta and roast pumpkin quiche - an easy, nourishing and yummy dinner You can find the recipe here: https://www.bestrecipes.com.au//vegetarian-spinac/i3xjvas3 I just substituted the mushrooms with rosemary & EVOO roasted pumpkin pieces just 'cos I happened to have a pumpkin in the house, and used wholemeal flour instead of white for some wholegrain goodness. I also made a double batch of the recipe to make the large quiche in the photo.

07.01.2022 I strongly recommend these Thinking Nutrition podcasts if you have an interest in nutrition and want to learn more . They're are short, informative, and always 100% evidence-based!

07.01.2022 How did my client guess that one of our topics today was going to be fermented foods?? I was a bit stoked when I received this gift of preservative free wine after a series of consultations with him today. Thank goodness small quantities of wine every now and then can be part of a healthy lifestyle for most of us!

I look forward to helping you to get your health on track - is now your time to focus on your health??

07.01.2022 Anyone carving pumpkins today? Well, whenever you're using large quantities of pumpkin, it's really worth keeping those seeds. They make a super nutritious snack (loaded with e.g. iron, magnesium, manganese, copper) if you lay them on an oven tray, drizzle some extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle some salt and rosemary on them. Roast in oven (180C) or under a grill until they're golden (~10-15min) - delicious and super dooper nutritious

03.01.2022 Skin health and Vitamin C. Vitamin C, together with many other antioxidants, plays a vital role in skin health. Found in many fruit and vegetables such as tomatoes, capsicum, berries, citrus and potatoes, Vitamin C assists in wound healing and helps minimise scar formation. Interestingly, it also limits the damage induced on skin by UV exposure from the sun, and plays a crucial role in the formation of collagen, which in turn strengthens the skin maintaining it elastic and smooth. So if you want to keep your skin healthy, it's worth eating lots of fruit and veg daily
