In today's social media glut of information and 'eddie the expert' headline readers, the skill in deciphering a research paper is sorely needed. In fact, reading a research paper further than a headline would be a good start for many armchair experts!!!

Nutrition is based on science. And while the science may not always agree and even change over time, just like all scientific fields of research, without credible research to inform your views you are really just flying blind in the wind at the me...

We are bombarded with hundreds of highly stylised, filtered, and flawless images every day. Images that tell us how we ‘should’ look, behave, be.

Images of many people we see on social media are not real. It is often an amazing piece of art like this video.



It is not always easy to love your body. If you are stuggling with body image chat to someone (a trusted friend, adult or teacher) or call The Butterfly Help line on 1800 33 4673

It's love your body week. This is a good start (yes,I do realise it is Wednesday 😜)

Think un**es in skirt, spinach in teeth. Apart from that - and I know this can feel like a challenging one if body commenting is part of the way we relate to others in our lives - can we be more thoughtful about how, when and why we might comment on someone's body? Truth be told, we most often don't know why someone's body has changed and if we are concerned about someone, there are about 185 different ways we can show care apart from body commentary. And if we feel urges to praise someone and think it's rude not to say anything, don't worry, about 202 other people will have already offered praise so it's hardly going against the status quo. Be radical. Zip it instead.

Good mood food. It's not about any particular diet or cutting out any particular food group or item; it's about choosing more foods that are closer to their original state. Fruit, veg, nuts and seeds, perhaps a smoothie instead of a soft drink or popcorn instead of chips, a muesli instead of a cornflake!

As I am no longer doing any private work my posts have been limited (very 😁). But our Dietetic and Nutrition team at Inspiro (Me, Karen and Toby) are writing blogs so I will be sharing them. Here is Karen's, Healthy eating in ISO

Healthy eating in ISO...is there even such a thing??? 🤷‍♂️

Well, nobody's perfect but there are a few things we can all do to eat a bit better (and therefore feel a bit better) during these tricky times. 🍎🥕🥑

Check out our blog for some tips from our very own dietitian, helping us all to stave off those temptations...

If you are looking for a great nutrition podcast try this one. Great information and wait for it... It's based on actual science 😮

The Thinking Nutrition podcast has been going strong for 6 weeks, with new episodes coming out every Tuesday morning. Now it has settled down into a regular publishing schedule and I've got the hang of the whole recording and editing business, how has it been performing? The answer is beyond my wildest expectations.

It has been the number 1 ranked podcast in Australia in the nutrition category for almost the entire time since launch (no tears for keeping Pete Evans out of that spot as sadly his podcast ranks highly too). It also features consistently in the top 20 for all health and fitness podcasts. It also ranks well in several other countries including the UK and Canada. And based on download numbers, it is in the top 1% of all podcasts on the popular hosting platform I use.

Thank you to everyone who has listened, commented and shared. As I say at the end of each podcast, I do this to make nutrition less confusing and to dilute out the crazy in the world, not to sell you stuff or push an agenda.

Some teasers for upcoming episodes:
- Protein powders: are they of benefit?
- Iron: why you need it, where you find it, and what to do if you're deficient
- Soy and why you shouldn't believe what you read on the Internet
