Prof Kouris Nutrition

Prof Kouris Nutrition 30 yrs experience as a clinical dietitian. Holistic diet & nutritional therapy for many conditions. Private health insurance rebates also apply.

I have over 30 yrs experience as a clinical dietitian and nutrition scientist (degrees in Biochemistry, Dietetics and PhD in Nutrition from faculty of medicine at Monash where I did pioneering research on the Mediterranean diet). I have a holistic approach to wellness, chronic diseases and weight loss. My focus is to identify the metabolic causes for your health and weight problems by doing a thorough nutritional assessment (which includes evaluating your medications, supplements, blood tests, symptoms). I will also address any other health issues (especially bowel health/thyroid/insulin resistance) which may be affecting your wellness and ability to lose weight. Your treatment may require taking certain supplements short-term to correct nutritional deficiencies and to improve your metabolism/bowel health. You can see me on a Care plan but there will be a small gap charge. To make an appointment Tel 03 94837013. I have also developed a range of novel functional lupin biscuits www.skinnybik.com which have been clinically trialled and have helped many of my patients better manage their weight and their blood sugars.

Which is healthier...dates or prunes?
Prunes have half the sugar (15g vs 27g per 40g serve), a much lower glycaemic index (27 vs 45), have more antioxidants and are good for your bones due to their boron, potassium and vitamin K! They also contain a natural laxative called sorbitol. If you feel like something sweet after dinner try eating 2 to 3 prunes. They are also delicious stewed and added to yoghurt.

The Planetary Health diet is a flexible diet like the Mediterranean diet which allows red meat, chicken and fish twice a week for each and lots of legumes, fruit, veg, grains and some dairy. I have been recommending such a diet for over 30years!

This diet allows modest meat consumption and would slash food-related climate emissions by half, says a report by 70 leading experts

Allulose is new natural sweetener with zero impact on blood sugars and insulin. It is naturally found in fruit but is not absorbed by the body. It is 70% as sweet as sugar with almost zero calories. Unlike other natural sweeteners like erythritol or stevia or monk fruit, allulose caramelises during cooking so is great for baking. Studies have shown it can help regulate blood sugars and help with weight loss. There does not appear to be any side effects so far but more research needed. Using it in moderation like in teas and coffees or on porridge should be ok.

Useful video by physician Dr Greger to help you work out your risk of heart disease and whether you need a statin. Statins can also increase your risk of developing diabetes even after you stop them!
