17.01.2022 Reckon one of the more bollocks nutrition terms in recent memory, along with ‘tumour shrinking paleo’, that went around a few years ago was ‘clean eating’. I mean, one can use whatever term they like to describe how they eat, but clean eating? Sounds a bit polarising for mine. Unless a person is eating you know bats or land mines and stuff, you are probably eating ‘clean’. ... And reckon part of the adventure in living is the clean bits, the dirty (fun) bits, and everywhere in between. That art-form of eating mostly nourishing food, with some pleasure food on occasion, is neither clean nor dirty. It is living. Happy Sunday

15.01.2022 Are you ok?........................................

13.01.2022 Geez, what a crazy year. Quite pleased to see the finish line today. For what it’s worth, I’d like to share something with you on this Christmas Eve Eve, not my words but pretty sweet and very relevant after a twisty-turny year... ‘Hope is knowing the negative feeling one feels isn’t permanent’... Wishing you all the best of health and fortune over this silly season. And hope for the future, 2021 and beyond. Time for a little rest x

12.01.2022 Changing the metric Many of us have been there. Striving hard to eat better, and do some daily enjoyable physical movement. Later to jump on the kg-numbers-monster and to be surprised by the number. So why is it that so much focus is put on our mass relative to gravitational acceleration?... It’s a weird cultural trap that most humans particularly westerners have fallen into. And something that we just don’t observe naturally in the younger years. I mean, if it were all about mass relative to gravitational pull, why have medical records which look at heart health, blood health, bone health, hormonal balance, kidney health, and liver health? If kay gees were all that mattered, all the medical history notes and all the blood tests, and all the mental health assessments would be shredded and just a weight given. This will never happen because there are infinite more factors than just kay gees. Always will be. It is tricky to get the head around, but we as individuals and as cultures would be much better served by changing the metric here. Away from mass relative to gravity, away from this formula W = mg, and towards an all encompassing collection of organ and blood health, mental health, relationship with food and that wellbeing feeling of being fit and healthy. The latter is much less bipolar and is failsafe. Try it, you’ll be surprised. Happy Thursday DT x

11.01.2022 It’s been a long tricky isolation time. Perhaps it is coming to an end, perhaps it’s not too. It’s been interesting observing how people have managed these rare and difficult circumstances. But I think for every person who has ‘taken a hit’ with their nutrition and health, there has been another who has negotiated things quite well. Wherever you are with your health right now, it is important to learn from the past and focus on the present. ... And the present time offers another opportunity to do better. We are all on a journey with our health- sometimes you will step in kangaroo shite, and sometimes you’ll step in rose petals. Either way, the journey is the destination. Need help getting back on track? Telehealth bookings 0408952750 Wangaratta 03 5722 2251 Yarrawonga 03 5744 1777 No fee appointments* available for some of you. And of course private health fund and Medicare rebates available where possible. Onwards and upwards. x

10.01.2022 This year has been far from normal. And if you’re anything like most of us in the population, you have probably taken a physical and/or mental health hit. So, what to do? ... Well, reckon if you are anything like the 100% of humans that may read this, best to make a plan to have a health-improved 2021. And it starts now. No fancy BS diets or unrealistic plans, no health gurus, just a solid plan to do better. It starts with a renewed focus on a healthier eating pattern, and a commitment to looking after your physical health using enjoyable-movement and brain chemical boosting activities. If you need help, you can find it. You can find it in an APD with an interest in health behaviour change and motivational interviewing. And a team behind you. People who can help you improve the multiple facets of your health- psychologist, exercise physiologist, PT, Physio and a GP. To name a few. Your health is too important to follow a fad. Invest in yourself and make the next 7 weeks of 2020 the building blocks for a smashing 2021. The light at the end of the tunnel is here. Go get em x

09.01.2022 How do I launch into better health post-hibernation? You may have asked this question, and perhaps several times. How do I get healthier after the trials of 2020?... Well, check out these 5 simple suggestions: 1. Talk to a close friend, family member or clinician about your health goals. And an idea : make those goals not all about weight. 2. Note down 4-5 eating and physical activity changes that you want to achieve by the start of summer. These could something like: eat vegetables/salad twice daily, eat 2-3 serves of fruit daily, limit alcohol to once weekly or fortnightly, walk or do some weights three times weekly, or anything like this. 3. Be realistic. Be patient with yourself. Know that you are in the control room, with all the buttons and levers in front of you, when it comes to your eating and physical activity. Aim to tick off 1-2 of your healthy habits from above each week. 4. Partition your pantry and get your food environment organised. If healthy ‘whole’ food is in your house, you’ll probably end up eating it. Likewise with ‘sometimes foods’, as most of us have found out in this strange year. 5. If you need help with any of this, check in with an APD. Many people know what they should do eating-wise, but most people need help rolling it out. You know why? because behaviour change can be a challenge for most humans. Time to relaunch? Happy Humpday DT

08.01.2022 Even fairies fart Reckon one of the more solid kids books getting around is Even Fairies Fart by Jennifer Stinson. Reading not between the lines, it teaches kids that nobody’s perfect. It shows us that we are all equal, subject to the normal human behaviours and human nature. ... So, if you are one of us, and one of the 98% of humans who ‘fail’ diets (or have a diet fail you, that should read), you will know that nobody is perfect, and that even fairies fart. Hell, even Barbie takes a dump! We are not robotic, and we ought not to feel like we need to eat like one. A better way, eating mostly nourishing food, intuitively, with the occasional pleasure food. My two cents on a Monday. x

08.01.2022 Sometimes it’s ok to simply tread water. You can always get going again once the water is less turbulent. The journey is the destination. Happy Sunday

08.01.2022 Simple fings There’s no doubt things haven’t been normal in 2020. Some things for many of you have probably been a bit sht. Reckon what’s important in these times of lockdowns, supermarket shortages, stress and anxiety, are the simple things. ... Whether that be; - eating together as a family - staying connected with friends and family over the phone/ internet - asking your loved ones how they are doing (and listening and watching for their response) - cooking batches of simple meals for 2-3 nights - getting outside for a gardening session - eating whole foods (close to nature) - enjoying some fresh air, or - enjoying simple life stuff in the here and now. Being in the moment. These abnormal days will make you grow strong roots into the soil below, making a storm-proof tree for the future. Until then, enjoy the simple fings. Happy Sunday x

05.01.2022 Last day for the mullet... or is it?...... https://www.teamblackdog.org.au/fundraisers/danielthomson

03.01.2022 So disappointed to hear that Professor Peter Evans’ FB page has been taken down. Where will we go for paranoid quackery on nutrition, sunscreen, politics, Donald Trump and life from now on? A sad day. Vale.

02.01.2022 Stick together. #covid

01.01.2022 When I was a young lad, I used to stir up ants nests with a stick and then quickly hightail it. Dunno why. Maybe it was because of the shock and awe at seeing thousands of stinging soldiers rush out and threaten to bite me and/or the next person or persons. ... Kind of like anti-vaxing. Except with that issue, it is highly likely that people will get stung and that they will sting others as a result of the action to not get vaccinated. Totally preventable- with a vaccine. The current covid pandemic is not a bad example of a world without preventative jabs. Looking forward to the day when the covid vaccine is here. Happy Saturday x https://amp.abc.net.au/article/12054310
