Before the month is over, May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

Mental health is just as important as physical health — and one area gaining more attention is the powerful connection between the gut and the brain.

Lara has a strong passion for the gut–brain axis and how nutrition can influence mood, stress, and overall mental wellbeing. What we eat doesn’t just fuel our bodies — it plays a role in neurotransmitter production, inflammation, and the balance of our gut microbiome.

Supporting mental health can include simple, evidence-based nutrition strategies:
• Nourishing your body with regular, balanced meals
• Including fibre-rich foods to support gut health
• Prioritising omega-3 fats and key micronutrients
• Building a healthy relationship with food

Mental health is complex, and nutrition is just one piece of the puzzle — but it’s a meaningful one.

If you’re struggling, reach out. Support is always worth it.

Happy Workers’ Day 👩‍⚕️

Today we celebrate the dedication, compassion, and resilience behind the work we do every day. A special mention to Mandi who is taking care of our ICU patient today — your commitment and care never go unnoticed, and we truly appreciate all that you do.

Because clinical dietitians never stop 💚

You’ve had the surgery — now don’t neglect your recovery 🛠️
The post-operative phase is where healing really happens, and nutrition plays a key role.
After surgery, your body has increased needs, but often a reduced appetite or tolerance to food.
Here’s what to focus on:

• Begin gently → eat small amounts more often
• Adjust your texture → choose foods that feel comfortable and manageable
• Make protein a priority → support tissue repair and healing
• Add support where needed → oral nutrition supplements can help bridge the gap
• Build momentum → steady, consistent intake supports better recovery

Recovery is not about eating perfectly; it’s about giving your body what it needs to heal.

If you’re navigating recovery and unsure what or how to eat, we’re here to support you

《《 Freedom day and 7 years of Nutrimed 》》

Today we celebrate Freedom Day — a reminder of the value of choice, dignity, and access for all.

In healthcare, freedom also looks like having access to information, support, and the ability to make decisions about your own body and wellbeing.

This year also marks 7 years of me being in private practice. What started as a step into the unknown has become a space where I’ve been privileged to walk alongside so many patients in their own journeys toward better health.

Grateful for the opportunity to do work that matters, and for every person who has trusted me along the way.
Here’s to continued growth, impact, and making care more accessible — in all the ways we can.

Your body isn’t something to constantly fix or fight against.
It’s something to support, nourish, and fuel.

What you eat every day plays a powerful role in how you feel — from your energy levels and hormone balance to your recovery and overall performance.

Instead of chasing extremes, focus on consistency.
Balanced meals. Enough fuel. Real nourishment.

Because true health isn’t built in a day — it’s built in your daily choices.
