In Term 3 this year we collaborated with to deliver a cooking and nutrition program as part of their Health and Wellbeing topic 👨‍🍳

Jack worked with a group of students, their teachers, and the to create the Power Up Cookbook - recipes for all battery levels 🔋

Focussing on the idea of matching food choices to our energy or capacity on the day, they made a huge variety of delicious meals and snacks including toasties, scarmbled eggs, toot toot toast, puff parcels, sweet and savoury muffins, tofu parmi and butter chicken. Lot of kids tried new foods and were pleasantly surprised to find out that Jack wasn't a "grumpy old man who will make us eat beans!" 👌

We were thrilled to have the opportunity for such a meaningful collaboration and look forward to more work together in the future 🥰

And just like that the end of the year is almost here!

To help get you through the holiday period, we've put together a quick reference checklist:

✅ Have adequate stock for your feeding tube or supplements - orders in by Friday 5th December

✅ Plan ahead for your needs - consider meals, medications and accessibility

✅ Create a comfort toolkit for events - snacks, water, fidgets or other sensory aids

✅ Dis-engage from food and body talk - plan some one liners or a conversation exit if these topics come up

Your Dietitian can help you with all of these things so please ask in your next session, or reach out at any time 👇🏼

Swipe for our quick and basic guide to food safety in the home! Following these tips at critical points in food preparation (such as cooling or reheating food) will help reduce the risk of food poisoning.

The most important things to remember are:

‼️ Don't eat cooked foods that have been out of the fridge for more than 4 hours

‼️ Be aware of how long you can keep different foods in the fridge before they may become unsafe

‼️ Cook and reheat food all the way through to kill any food poisoning bacteria that may be present

‼️ Always check your food before eating for Use By dates and any mould growth

‼️ Always keep your food preparation area and tools clean (including your hands!) and use separate utensils and boards for raw meat.

Teamwork makes the dream work 🤝🏼

Every couple of months we gather as a team outside of work to reflect, to be strategic and to collaborate in person, striving to make our service the very best it can be.

This time around though, it was just about connection. After a tough year in the trenches alongside our community, fighting for a fair NDIS and navigating so many changes, we took a break from strategising and pivoting to just have some fun.

Games were played, plenty of pizza and snacks were eaten, leaving us re-energised and ready to finish the year off strong 💪

Invisible disabilities are conditions or chronic illnesses that are not immediately visible - for example, without physical signs such as mobility aids or devices. They can have just as big an impact on someone's life as more visible conditions, but often aren't recognised. This can make it harder to access supports and accommodations.

Invisible disabilities can cover a broad range of physical, intellectual, developmental, sensory or neurological conditions, including:

🌻 Fibromyalgia

🌻 Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

🌻 Chronic Pain

🌻 Multiple Sclerosis

🌻 Mental Illness

🌻 Autism

🌻 ADHD

🌻 Eating Disorders

🌻 Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

This week is about awareness, education and support for people living with invisible disabilities. We strive for ongoing learning in our practice, and advocate for our clients to access the supports they need 💚

You can learn more about supporting people in Australia with invisible disabilities via the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Initiative: https://hdsunflower.com/au/insights/category/invisible-disabilities

Congratulations to Sarah and Gabby from Flinders University on the completion of their project placement with us, which explored the benefits of food-focused play for children with disabilities.

We were excited to hear their research presentation in our last staff meeting, especially the proposal of a Food Play Toolkit that applied their findings into our practice 💚

Their recommendations were evidence based and supported best practice, while also being adaptable to practical factors such as cost and portability. We were very impressed with their thoughtful, well designed proposal and the instructional resources they created! 🤩

Thanks Sarah and Gabby, and all the best with your final placements as student dietitians!

What does a dietitian do? Eating disorders edition 🦋

Eating disorders affect people of all ages, backgrounds, living situations, ages and genders. Some groups of people are at higher risk:

🏋️‍♀️ Athletes

∞ Neurodivergent people

🧎‍♂️‍➡️People with high levels of stress, mental illness or physical health conditions

🧍‍♀️Adolescents

🏳️‍⚧️ Genderfluid or gender diverse people

They can take many forms and look or feel very different depending on the person. You can never tell by looking at someone whether they have an eating disorder.

Our dietitians support many clients with eating disorders and work closely with other health professionals in eating disorder recovery teams. If you know someone struggling with some of the signs and symptoms in this post, encourage them to reach out to a GP, dietitian or psychiatrist/psychologist for support. And if anything in this post resonates with you, or you want to improve your relationship with food and your body but don't know where to start, we're here to help 💚

Last week we farewelled Kirsti, one of our admin team members who has been around since the very beginning of Pod in 2021 🥹

Although we are sad to see her go, we are so excited for the new adventure she is embarking on, expanding her family business .haus.hahndorf to serve up delicious German drinks, ice cream, waffles and more every day of the week 🍨

We were lucky to get the first group eat in experience at their new premises and can confirm everything is delicious - we highly recommend a visit! 😋

We wish Kirsti all the best 💚

One of the most common questions we are asked is about healthy eating - and our first response is to ask what that means to you!

Everyone thinks of healthy eating differently, and has different goals based on what they need to thrive in their body and daily life. Healthy eating for one person may be eating regularly so they have energy throughout the day, and for another it might be getting the nutrients they need in their diet to manage a health condition.

So what does healthy eating mean to you? We'd love to hear your answers in the comments!

And in exchange for always answering your questions with more questions, some of our dietitians have given their answers too! >>

Spring has arrived! 🌸

As well as warmer weather and a bit more sunshine, we'll also be enjoying the seasonal fruit and veg for this time of year!

Although most of the produce we buy is available year-round in supermarkets, they are often cheaper when they're in season - which can help with fresh fruit and veg costs. They also usually taste better!

The Adelaide Showground Farmers Market have a Seasonal Produce Guide on their website, which can help keep track of the fruit and veg currently in season for South Australia. If your favourites aren't in right now, frozen can also be a cheaper option ❄️

Some seasonal fruits for early spring include:

🍎Apples
🍓Strawberries
🥑Avocados
🍐Pears
🍋Lemons
🍊Grapefruit
🍊Mandarins
🍊Tangelos
🍊Cumquats

Some seasonal vegetables for early spring include:

🥬Bok Choy
🫛Peas
🥬Spinach
🥦Broccoli
🫜Beetroot
🥕Carrots
🥔Potatoes

[Image description: Title in centre reads 'Happy Spring!' and is surrounded by images of seasonal fruit and vegetables, such as those listed in caption]

A very warm welcome to Sarah from Flinders University, who is with us from June to December working on her Honours project! 👩‍🎓

Sarah is a fourth year Nutrition and Dietetics student, and her research will be exploring how evidence-based recommendations for NDIS clients compare to the funding and support allocated (swipe right to check out her project and get involved here: https://qualtrics.flinders.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_0AOgZeGRAlof62a).

We have over 350 clients at Pod who rely on NDIS funding for dietetic and other essential health services. The ongoing change in this area has been challenging and there is a big lack of evidence, so we are excited to see what Sarah finds! 🧐
