Invisible disabilities are conditions or chronic illnesses that are not immediately visible - for example, without physical signs such as mobility aids or devices. They can have just as big an impact on someone's life as more visible conditions, but often aren't recognised. This can make it harder to access supports and accommodations.

Invisible disabilities can cover a broad range of physical, intellectual, developmental, sensory or neurological conditions, including:

🌻 Fibromyalgia

🌻 Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

🌻 Chronic Pain

🌻 Multiple Sclerosis

🌻 Mental Illness

🌻 Autism

🌻 ADHD

🌻 Eating Disorders

🌻 Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

This week is about awareness, education and support for people living with invisible disabilities. We strive for ongoing learning in our practice, and advocate for our clients to access the supports they need 💚

You can learn more about supporting people in Australia with invisible disabilities via the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Initiative: https://hdsunflower.com/au/insights/category/invisible-disabilities

Congratulations to Sarah and Gabby from Flinders University on the completion of their project placement with us, which explored the benefits of food-focused play for children with disabilities.

We were excited to hear their research presentation in our last staff meeting, especially the proposal of a Food Play Toolkit that applied their findings into our practice 💚

Their recommendations were evidence based and supported best practice, while also being adaptable to practical factors such as cost and portability. We were very impressed with their thoughtful, well designed proposal and the instructional resources they created! 🤩

Thanks Sarah and Gabby, and all the best with your final placements as student dietitians!

What does a dietitian do? Eating disorders edition 🦋

Eating disorders affect people of all ages, backgrounds, living situations, ages and genders. Some groups of people are at higher risk:

🏋️‍♀️ Athletes

∞ Neurodivergent people

🧎‍♂️‍➡️People with high levels of stress, mental illness or physical health conditions

🧍‍♀️Adolescents

🏳️‍⚧️ Genderfluid or gender diverse people

They can take many forms and look or feel very different depending on the person. You can never tell by looking at someone whether they have an eating disorder.

Our dietitians support many clients with eating disorders and work closely with other health professionals in eating disorder recovery teams. If you know someone struggling with some of the signs and symptoms in this post, encourage them to reach out to a GP, dietitian or psychiatrist/psychologist for support. And if anything in this post resonates with you, or you want to improve your relationship with food and your body but don't know where to start, we're here to help 💚

Last week we farewelled Kirsti, one of our admin team members who has been around since the very beginning of Pod in 2021 🥹

Although we are sad to see her go, we are so excited for the new adventure she is embarking on, expanding her family business .haus.hahndorf to serve up delicious German drinks, ice cream, waffles and more every day of the week 🍨

We were lucky to get the first group eat in experience at their new premises and can confirm everything is delicious - we highly recommend a visit! 😋

We wish Kirsti all the best 💚

One of the most common questions we are asked is about healthy eating - and our first response is to ask what that means to you!

Everyone thinks of healthy eating differently, and has different goals based on what they need to thrive in their body and daily life. Healthy eating for one person may be eating regularly so they have energy throughout the day, and for another it might be getting the nutrients they need in their diet to manage a health condition.

So what does healthy eating mean to you? We'd love to hear your answers in the comments!

And in exchange for always answering your questions with more questions, some of our dietitians have given their answers too! >>

Spring has arrived! 🌸

As well as warmer weather and a bit more sunshine, we'll also be enjoying the seasonal fruit and veg for this time of year!

Although most of the produce we buy is available year-round in supermarkets, they are often cheaper when they're in season - which can help with fresh fruit and veg costs. They also usually taste better!

The Adelaide Showground Farmers Market have a Seasonal Produce Guide on their website, which can help keep track of the fruit and veg currently in season for South Australia. If your favourites aren't in right now, frozen can also be a cheaper option ❄️

Some seasonal fruits for early spring include:

🍎Apples
🍓Strawberries
🥑Avocados
🍐Pears
🍋Lemons
🍊Grapefruit
🍊Mandarins
🍊Tangelos
🍊Cumquats

Some seasonal vegetables for early spring include:

🥬Bok Choy
🫛Peas
🥬Spinach
🥦Broccoli
🫜Beetroot
🥕Carrots
🥔Potatoes

[Image description: Title in centre reads 'Happy Spring!' and is surrounded by images of seasonal fruit and vegetables, such as those listed in caption]

A very warm welcome to Sarah from Flinders University, who is with us from June to December working on her Honours project! 👩‍🎓

Sarah is a fourth year Nutrition and Dietetics student, and her research will be exploring how evidence-based recommendations for NDIS clients compare to the funding and support allocated (swipe right to check out her project and get involved here: https://qualtrics.flinders.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_0AOgZeGRAlof62a).

We have over 350 clients at Pod who rely on NDIS funding for dietetic and other essential health services. The ongoing change in this area has been challenging and there is a big lack of evidence, so we are excited to see what Sarah finds! 🧐

What does a Dietitian do?
Malnutrition edition 🧃🥤

Today we're looking at how dietitians can help people with malnutrition, a condition resulting from not meeting the body's nutritional needs over time. There are many reasons why someone may struggle to get enough nutrition, such as:

😷 Symptoms like low appetite, nausea or constipation that make eating unpleasant

👩‍⚕️ Medical conditions like cancer or kidney failure that increase the amount of nutrition you need

🧑‍🍳 Cost of food, shopping or cooking difficulties

🧑‍⚕️ Conditions that affect how the body absorbs nutrients from food

If you know someone whose weight has changed unexpectedly, whose appetite or food intake has changed, or who has become unwell and struggles to eat or drink, encourage them to seek support from their GP and a Dietitian so they can find out what is going on, and put strategies in place to stay well nourished 🥑

Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like further information!

[Image description: first page of post has a dark green background with Pod logo in top corner. Heading reads 'What Does A Dietitian Do', with a subheading of 'Malnutrition'. Three images show a woman in a wheelchair having food spooned into her mouth by a younger person, a child with a feeding tube reading a book with an adult, and two older people smiling and eating icecreams. The second page has decorative frames and text reading: 'Malnutrition happens over time if someone does not meet their body’s nutritional needs. Symptoms can include: loss of appetite, weight loss, muscle wasting, hair loss, fatigue or mental confusion, poor wound healing. People can become malnourished from: Not eating enough food, Not eating foods that have the nutrients they need, Illnesses or conditions that affect their body’s ability to absorb nutrients from food.' The logo for Dietitians Australia is in the bottom corner. Third page has text reading: 'Malnutrition can lead to lower quality of life and poor health and wellbeing. It can also affect other medical outcomes, like increasing recovery time and risk of complications. Your dietitian can... Help you understand any medical conditions or other factors that make your nutritional needs harder to meet. Ensure you meet your nutrition needs by adding nutrients and energy into your diet, which might include supplementation. Offer personalised strategies to make food and nutrition more accessible in your daily life' The final page has the text: 'Stay tuned for more information as we explore this question over the next few months. You can also learn more and check out our full range of services online or by contacting us on the details below.' followed by the Pod contact details (as in main caption).

We’re excited to welcome final-year Flinders University Nutrition & Dietetics students Sarah and Gabby for their project placement at Pod!

They’re looking into how food-focused play can improve engagement and nutrition outcomes for children with disabilities and how this approach could be integrated into our practice at Pod.

We’re looking forward to seeing how their project evolves and will keep you up to date on their progress! 🤩
