Meet Georgette, our administration superstar and the glue that holds me (Felicity) together at Riverland Balanced Nutrition. She works hard in the background and has been with us for a while, so I thought it was time to reintroduce her to you all. Over to Georgette...

Hi, I’m Georgette, Administration Assistant at Riverland Balanced Nutrition. I help the team with appointment bookings and admin, making sure everything runs smoothly so you feel supported from the moment you get in touch.

I’m currently studying my Master of Dietetics at Deakin University, working towards becoming an Accredited Practising Dietitian.

Outside of work and study, you’ll usually find me at pilates, baking, reading, or out on walks with my cheeky dog, Spritzy.

I look forward to chatting with you over the phone or email!

My nutrition predictions for 2026

Ultra-processed foods will start losing their shine.
People are clocking the marketing tricks. “High protein”, “gut friendly”, “natural flavours” on foods that barely qualify as food. The label-reading era is here.

Fibre will replace protein as the next big health trend.
Not fibre sprinkled into ultra-processed products to hit macro targets. Real fibre, from real food. Vegetables, fruit, legumes, wholegrains, nuts and seeds. The unsexy stuff that actually improves gut health, blood sugar control and long-term health.

Simple food will make a comeback.
Less TikTok recipes. More meals that look like what our parents and grandparents cooked. Cooking won’t be about being impressive. It’ll be about affordability, fewer additives, and knowing what you’re feeding yourself and your family.

Not aesthetic trends.
Necessary ones.

And frankly, that’s a shift I’m very happy to see.

Most people don’t realise that a big part of my job happens outside the clinic.

As an Accredited Practising Dietitian, I’m required by Dietitians Australia to complete a minimum of 30 hours of Continuous Professional Development every year. That’s formal learning to maintain registration and clinical standards.

This isn’t optional.
It’s usually self-funded, often done early mornings, evenings or weekends, and it’s ongoing for our entire careers.

Why does this matter?

Nutrition science doesn’t stand still.
Guidelines change.
New research emerges.
Old ideas get challenged (or quietly retired).

Keeping up with the evidence means I can:
• provide advice that reflects current science
• adapt care as best practice evolves
• offer clients the safest, most effective support possible

This is one of the key differences between regulated dietitians and non-regulated nutrition providers, who don’t always have these education or registration requirements.

At heart, dietitians are scientists with a lifelong love of learning.
CPD is how that learning turns into better care for you.

As 2025 comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on what an incredible year it’s been. I feel so grateful for the opportunity to work with over 600 clients this year. People who trust me to support them in taking meaningful steps towards better health. Whether it’s managing PCOS, supporting fertility, improving gut health, or working towards weight management, every client’s journey has been a privilege to be part of.

I’m constantly inspired by the dedication, resilience, and openness of the people I work with. Every win, every milestone, and every success story reminds me why I love what I do.

I also want to extend my thanks to the GPs, specialists, and allied health professionals who collaborate with me. Your trust and partnership make it possible to provide the best care for our community, and I’m grateful for your support.

I hope this Christmas season brings you joy, rest, and time with the people who matter most. Here’s to a 2026 filled with health & happiness.

2–3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup sugar
100 ml olive oil
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup ground flaxseed
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
1/4 tsp salt
1.5 cups wholemeal flour
1/3 cup choc chips

Method

1. Mash bananas and sugar together in a bowl.
2. Add oil, egg, and milk, and mix well.
3. Stir in the wholemeal flour, flaxseed, baking powder, bicarbonate soda, and salt until just combined.
4. Fold through the choc chips.
5. Spoon into a muffin tin and bake at 180°C (fan-forced) for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

Tip: These freeze beautifully and make great lunchbox or after-school snacks.

Ever feel like you’re always “starting again on Monday”? You’re strict all week, holding everything together with willpower… then the weekend rolls around. Lunch gets skipped because you’re busy, the snacking starts because you’re starving, drinks with friends sound harmless, and suddenly you’re ordering takeaway because there was zero plan for dinner.

And of course that little voice pops up: “I’ve been so good all week… I deserve this.”

The problem is that this all-or-nothing pattern messes with your appetite cues, evokes a guilt cycle, and leaves you chasing cravings all weekend. By Monday, you feel like you’ve undone all your hard work. And the cycle starts again.

Having a loose plan for the weekend stops that domino effect. It doesn’t mean dieting through Saturday and Sunday. It just means you’re not relying on willpower alone or falling into the “earn it, then reset” cycle.

Understanding why this happens is the first step to breaking out of the Monday reset loop for good.

If this hits home, it might be time for a different approach. I can help you build something steadier than willpower, that fits into your lifestyle and breaks this unhelpful cycle.

Today I’m thinking about the people in our region living with diabetes or working hard to prevent it. In a rural community, distance and access can make health management a whole different challenge, and I’m continually inspired by how committed our locals are to taking charge of their wellbeing.

In my practice, I spend a lot of time supporting people through the early stages of type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, gestational diabetes and type 1 diabetes. That means practical, evidence-based nutrition strategies, real-world meal ideas, and helping people build habits that actually fit into busy lives. Early support matters. Small changes matter. And no one should have to navigate their health alone.

To everyone managing diabetes, caring for someone who is, or taking steps to reduce their own risk: you’re doing important work. I’m grateful to be part of your team.

We’re in the macro-tracking era, and somewhere along the way, we forgot about diet quality. And it’s showing up in how people feel.

Everywhere you look, there’s a bar, yoghurt, or chip promising high protein, low carb, or macro-friendly.
We’ve entered the ultra-processed food era, where products are engineered to hit our macro targets, but offer little to no micronutrient value.

Folate, iodine, iron, B12, zinc, choline, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, B vitamins, selenium (plus more!)… these are the nutrients that actually make your body function:
🧬 DNA replication
🩸 Red blood cell production
💪 Energy metabolism
🧠 Brain and nerve health

You can hit your macros perfectly and still feel flat or sluggish if your micros are running on empty. You may be having trouble losing weight, or have chronic disease knocking on the door.

It’s not just how much protein, carbs, or fat you eat, it’s where they come from.

Whole foods still win, every time.

If this is you, let’s talk and get your micros on point!
