The Melanie McGrice team takes very seriously our responsibility of promoting accurate, balanced and complete nutrition information. When it comes to diet and nutrition, there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. The evidence-based Australian Dietary Guidelines, which were developed by independent experts in nutrition, working with the National Health and Medical Research Council, provide a framework for healthy eating - and Melanie McGrice supports these recommendations for the healthy population. For people needing specific dietary advice, we recommend seeking individual support from an Accredited Practising Dietitian. While we appreciate meaningful, on-topic, and constructive engagement through our social media channels, we will not tolerate (and do not have the capacity to respond to) inappropriate or offensive remarks online.

A new study released today suggests that taking folic acid or a prenatal multivitamin in early pregnancy may be linked with a lower risk of autism spectrum disorder.

This is interesting news, but it is important to understand what it means.

The study shows a link rather than a proven cause, so it does not tell us whether supplements alone reduce the risk of ASD.

What we do know is that folate is essential for early brain and spinal cord development. We also know that women have different folate needs based on their health, metabolism, and when they begin supplementing.

This research reinforces something I already discuss with women who are planning pregnancy. Getting the right amount of folate at the right time really matters. Working with a prenatal dietitian can help ensure that folate intake from food and supplements is safe, appropriate, and personalised to individual needs.

Our live webinar is tomorrow! 💻⁠

I’ll be joined by Dr James Brown to discuss Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) - what it is, how to identify it, and how we can better support women affected by it.⁠

It’s free, evidence-based, and perfect for and healthcare professionals.⁠

There’s still time to join us live - visit https://elna.mykajabi.com/november-webinar-registration

Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) is one of those conditions that is often under-recognised, yet its impact on women’s lives can be profound. It affects fertility, bone density, cardiovascular health, and mental wellbeing - and the earlier we identify and support these women, the better their long-term outcomes can be.

That’s why I’m so looking forward to hosting our next Early Life Nutrition Alliance webinar with Dr James Brown, a reproductive endocrinologist and gynaecologist who is doing remarkable work in this field.

Dr Brown will be unpacking the latest evidence on how to identify, investigate, and manage POI - and, importantly, how and healthcare professionals can play a key role in long-term care and counselling.

If you work with women who are experiencing early menopause, irregular cycles, or infertility, this session will give you both the understanding and the tools to better support them.

It’s free to attend, so hurry and grab your spot here: https://elna.mykajabi.com/november-webinar-registration

What a joy it was to gather with so many passionate in Nashville for our member retreat and workshop!

From early discussions on structuring your practice for profit and flexibility to exploring authentic marketing and simple, sustainable systems, the day was rich with insights, laughter, and those “aha!” moments that remind us why we do what we do.

It was such a privilege to stand alongside Kabrina Ashley and Danielle Rossi, each sharing their wisdom on creating private practices that not only thrive financially but also bring balance and joy.

And of course - our evening dinner was the perfect way to close: relaxed, real, and full of connection. 💜

These moments together remind me of the true heart of the Early Life Nutrition Alliance community. We’re more than a network of dietitians; we’re a collective of professionals shaping the future of early life nutrition and designing businesses that align with the lives we love.

To everyone who joined us: thank you. You brought curiosity, courage, and generosity to the room. Let’s keep building practices - and lives - that nourish both us and the generations we serve. 🌸

I’m so excited to be at 2025 today! 💜

You’ll find me at Booth 961, sharing how fertility and prenatal nutrition can shape healthier futures for families everywhere.

If you’re at FNCE, come say hi - I’d love to chat! 👋

I see so many wonderful trying to balance their passion for helping others with the realities of running a private practice. It’s not always easy - especially when you want your work to be both sustainable and meaningful.

That’s why I’m co-hosting a 3-hour virtual workshop this week for dietitians who are ready to build a practice that truly fits them. My co-host and I will provide guidance on how to choose the right business model for your goals, simple marketing approaches that feel genuine, how to price your services confidently, and where to find the right mentorship and support.

My hope is that you’ll leave feeling clear, re-energised, and deeply connected as to why you became a dietitian in the first place!

🚰💫 Staying Hydrated During Pregnancy 💫🚰⁠

I know how crucial it is to take care of yourself and your little one. So, I've put together my list of the top five safe and refreshing drinks that you can enjoy throughout your pregnancy journey. ⁠

1. Water: The superhero of all beverages! Stay hydrated to support healthy amniotic fluid levels and prevent common pregnancy issues. Try infusing water with fresh fruit like watermelon and mint for a refreshing twist.⁠

2. Sparkling Water: Craving something bubbly? Sparkling water is a safe and refreshing alternative to sugary sodas. Add a twist of lemon for extra flavour.⁠

3. Milk: A classic source of calcium! Ensure your little one's bones and teeth develop well with calcium-rich milk, whether plain, in a smoothie, or warmed up with a sprinkle of cinnamon.⁠

4. Peppermint Tea: Soothe digestive discomfort with peppermint tea, safe during pregnancy and with a delightful aroma. Just remember, moderation is key!⁠

5. Echinacea Tea: Boost your immune system with echinacea tea, but limit yourself to a cup or two per day of caffeine-free versions.⁠

✨ Say goodbye to menstrual pain with these 4 health tweaks! 🌱⁠

Periods can be tough, but dealing with intense cramps? Not fair at all! But guess what? Research shows that your diet can impact the severity of your menstrual pain. That means that with a few dietary and health tweaks you may start to feel some improvement. 💪🍏⁠

1️⃣ Eat More Fruit: Research shows that adding two servings of fruit daily can reduce period pain. 🍎🍌⁠

2️⃣ Mind Your Dairy: Meet your dairy requirements – studies have found that those who consume dairy products are less likely to experience dysmenorrhoea. I’d recommend opting for low fat dairy products as one study found cheese, which is higher in fat than milk or yoghurt, was associated with higher rates of menstrual pain. 🥛🧀⁠

3️⃣ Omega 3 Boost: Ensure you're getting enough omega-3 fats, found in fish oil, to alleviate menstrual pain. 🐟 Women who have low intakes of omega 3 fats are more likely to have menstrual pain. ⁠

4️⃣ Get Moving: Regular exercise can be a game-changer! Studies have found that women who exercise regularly are less likely to suffer menstrual pain. Working out releases feel-good hormones like serotonin and endorphins, helping ease period discomfort. 🏃‍♀️💪⁠

Which tweak are you trying first? Let me know in the comments! 💬 🌸
