The last few days have been action packed. A fantastic opportunity to step back in time and revisit my previous life at the Australian Institute of Sport, Canberra but also to run some sessions for the Artistic Swimming Australia teams (seniors and juniors).

Thank you for the invitation WA School Nurses Association. Last night I was doing what I love to do and spreading the word about weight-neutral care and increasing awareness to weight stigma in the community!!

It has taken a while but my new business website is finally finished. Please head to https://optimalintake.com.au/ and have a look. I also have a new location at 193 South Terrace in South Fremantle. Polly the newly qualified therapy dog also managed to get herself into the photos!!

Many people struggle to feel comfortable or able to respond appropriately to the body's signals of hunger. Imagine if we responded to our need to p*e in this way 🙃.

An interesting read and why it is important to avoid jumping onto the newest diet de jour.

A cardiologist who previously recommended fasting to patients said his new research showed why we need good nutrition data to avoid biases on diets.

Next week my practice will be offering dietetic services operating as a virtual clinic. I will be offering the same service but just at the end of a phone/skype/zoom (whichever best suits you). Please stay connected and we will get through this. Contact me directly for more details info@optimalintake.com.au or 0412705355
