FYI
New research suggests a possible reason why some patients experience serious side effects after receiving gadolinium-based contrast dye during MRI scans. Gadolinium is a heavy metal used in these dyes to improve MRI images, but it can sometimes cause mild to severe reactions. While most patients have no problems or only mild symptoms like itching or headaches, rare cases can lead to dangerous conditions such as nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, which can cause severe organ damage and even death.
The researchers discovered a connection between gadolinium and oxalic acid—a molecule found in many common foods like spinach, chocolate, sweet potatoes, almonds, and some vitamin C supplements. Oxalic acid is known to bind with calcium and cause kidney stones, and the study found it can also bind with gadolinium. In lab experiments, gadolinium appeared to detach from the dye and link to oxalic acid, potentially allowing these harmful complexes to enter cells and accumulate in organs.
This new finding may explain why some people react badly to gadolinium dye while most do not. The researchers advise caution, suggesting patients avoid vitamin C supplements before MRI scans using contrast dye, since vitamin C can increase oxalic acid levels. More research is needed, but this discovery could lead to better safety guidelines for MRI procedures in the future.

Winter is here…. And so is my new detox program I will be sharing with you shortly. In the meantime my body needs some letting go and resting and today am starting with juices, teas, smoothies, gut reset supplements and some epic organic food… keep you posted 🤓
How are you nourishing and looking after you body in winter? The cold naturally causes some constriction and with that detox is slower as well as nutrient delivery and oxygenation … unless you know how to adapt and respond to this change…
Let me know and may post some more updates shortly.

Mattresses are filled with nasty chemicals linked with many chronic conditions including cancer. It’s time more awareness and legal action is taken against these manufacturers who only care about making money at the cost of your health and that of the environment.
Devices sold prior to June 2021 contained a polyester-based polyurethane foam used for noise suppression. 📌 DETAILS: 7news.link/3FCAoqT

Have you ever felt misunderstood, disappointed and confused about the medical care and advice received from different health professionals? If you have, I know how you feel! Which is why using advanced medical nutrition and psychology principles, I have created comprehensive and thorough assessments and treatment protocols to ensure that you actually get the help you need and deserve.
I am an Accredited Practising Dietitian, Nutritionist, Counsellor, NLP practitioner and Nutrigenomics lecturer for Latrobe University. After extensive training and working with thousands of people I know how to create a functional lifestyle and get lasting results.
As an integrative practitioner i use a holistic mind body approach which incorporates nutritional, gut and hormonal screening, stress and sleep management, exercise prescription, social and emotional health and facilitating behavioural change. Our health is impacted by much more than just nutrition. As such it is important to understand all influencing factors and how to address environmental, physical, mental and emotional barriers. My approach is further complemented by the use of the latest technologies such as body composition analysis and genetic testing which allows for a deep analysis of your health and as such more individualised advice.
I am passionate about gut and brain health and strongly believe that great health starts with a healthy gut. The food you eat can either serve as medicine and can heal your body or can make you sick and depressed. Further your thoughts and believes can either support success and well-being or sabotage your efforts. As a counsellor I like to use a cognitive based approach to identify and challenge such unhelpful believes, as well as solution focused therapy, and neurolinguistic programming so that you get better results through better thinking.
My areas of interest include:
Weight loss and creating diet recommendations based on your DNA (nutritional genomics)
Inflammation and pain management- Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Arthritis
Autoimmune Conditions and Thyroid Dysfunction
Expect getting results and leaving feeling educated and empowered as you will get reacquainted with your body and learn how to meet your nutritional and emotional needs. You will receive a personalised road map and ongoing support as we work together towards achieving your goals.
I look forward to meeting you.
