Nutrition Fix

Nutrition Fix Nutrition Fix Hello! I’m Veronica, an accredited practising dietitian and nutritionist, with clinics at Erina, Glendale and Lake Munmorah on the Central Coast.

I help people find practical nutrition solutions for their clinical health problems that fit their lifestyle. I was inspired to become a dietitian when my father succumbed to dialysis from polycystic kidney disease. Becoming a dietitian was a good fit for me following several years working in hospitality and being a health nut. I got to see nutrition in action – how what my father ate impacted his condition and was integral to his treatment. Nutrition is a key treatment factor (and sometimes cause) for many health conditions including diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome and food intolerances. Since being in private practice, I have helped many clients improve their health and manage their condition through nutrition. Including bloating, chronic constipation or diarrhea (or both), psoriasis and Sjogren’s Syndrome. I find gut health incredibly interesting and I don’t mind the occasional tricky case to keep me on my toes! Food is one of life’s pleasures, and as a dietitian I can help clients feel confident in their food choices and what they are eating, especially people with functional gut problems and food intolerances. I have collated lots of tips and resources to share with my clients to make life easier. I am also involved in health and nutrition policy projects having worked for the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and am a Primary Health Network Clinical Council member. But more than likely you’ll find me cooking in the kitchen! Qualifications:
Master of Health Policy (Sydney University)
Bachelor of Health Science (Nutrition & Dietetics) with distinction (Newcastle University)
500 hour YogaCoach and yoga instructor

Women’s Health Week is here! This year’s theme is “Say yes to you” highlighting the need for women to stay on top of health checks and as they’re often the carer’s of family and ageing parents and need to also prioritise their health.

With that in mind, important health checks relevant to my practice that I see women put off are:

• Are you up to date with your bowel cancer screening? Especially if you have noticed any changes in your bowel habits or are experiencing abdominal pain.
• Have you had a bone density scan? Important if there is a family history of osteoporosis or have a thyroid condition or low vitamin D.
• Have you had your heart checked? Conditions like gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia significantly increase your risk of heart disease, and heart disease risk overall increases after menopause.

Remember nutrition and lifestyle plays a significant role in all three of these conditions!

Mmmm cheese… 🧀
We all know we need adequate calcium for bone health, but did you know that fermented dairy increases the availability of calcium for absorption? So yoghurt, kefir and cheese are excellent sources of calcium (and protein!) to support bone health and dairy, and many cheeses are also a source of vitamin K2 to direct the calcium to the bones that I mentioned in the last post.

Calcium supplements can be helpful if you don’t like or can’t eat enough calcium sources, though be mindful they can cause kidney stones and interact with some medications such as thyroid meds and some antibiotics as well as iron and zinc supplements. So ask about timing any supplements to maximise your absorption!
