This is Your Body Adding a sprinkle of joy and body celebration into nutrition.

How can you hold space for a young person that expresses body image concern?

Mum and I sat down to have a chat about how she moved through it when I was young. She shares what she’s learnt and provides guidance for parents that might be moving through this now.

It is beautiful to hear my mum have compassion for herself. At the time, there was barely any information around for parents and we feel so grateful to be part of filling this space now.

I offer one on one sessions for parents to support them in initiating conversation about food and body image in the home. Mum and I also host information nights together in schools to help families in opening this conversation.

You can book in a chat with me using the link in my bio. I’ll also pop some other helpful resources in the comments section 💛

If you do need support, please don’t hesitate to ask. It’s okay if you don’t know, we are all learning together 🌻

Last week I got to present to the wonderful girls at Marian College! It was my last presentation for students in 2025, and honestly, I felt so sad when it was finished.

The girls were so kind, welcoming and shared so many of their own experiences with me.

When I was going through their learnings, I was struck by how many of them learnt how little of the health information online is accurate. I wish I could have spent the entire hour speaking about that alone!!

Tomorrow night I am hosting a free webinar for parents that want to learn more about this so that you can have the tools you need to teach your young person how to be critical of the information they’re consuming online. Send me a DM and I’ll be in touch with the link to register 🧡

I’m so grateful to every student I’ve had this year and love so much that I have been able to pass on sustainable health practices that, hopefully, they can continue for life… and that makes me very proud 🥲

In between the diets, misinformation, fear mongering and general nonsense, there are some glimmers about health and food content on social media… and for me that comes in the form of content that inspires me to add more to my diet.

I love content that teaches me how to prep things in advance, encourages me to try a different type of grain or shows me how I can make something new using leftovers in the fridge. This content exists, and I hope so much that the young people I work with can find it if they’re looking for it.

Unfortunately, they are also likely to encounter some information that isn’t true and is potentially harmful and I want to give you the tools you need to move through this with your young people.

Curious to learn how to do this? Join me for our FREE webinar where we’ll dive deeper into this topic in detail and I’ll give you the knowledge you need to support your teen to decipher truth from trend ✨

Welcome to post three of fact or fiction week!

Our statement of the day is ‘if someone says they’re a nutritionist you can always trust what they say’ …. As a clinical nutritionist (BHSc), it pains me to say that this one is fiction 😞
 
In Australia the title of ‘nutritionist’ isn’t very well regulated. What does this mean?
 
Well, it means that someone can study for four years and be registered with an accrediting body AND someone that does an online course for a month can have the same title 🫣
 
When people are innocently looking for health advice online, they might stumble across someone that says they’re qualified, but they might not actually have the tools and knowledge to support you.
 
There is space for all of us in this industry, but sometimes there are people that unknowingly aren’t really helping.
 
Swipe above for some red flags and green flags to look out for when someone says they’re a nutritionist online 👆🚩
 
Remember, if something online sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If you are concerned about your health, it is always recommended that you speak with a registered professional for tailored advice and support.
 
Be sure to follow and  for our final fact or fiction post dropping tomorrow 😌👀

We know from the research that teens are getting their health advice online with the leading topics being diet and fitness. Unfortunately, both those areas aren’t well regulated, which means our teens are vulnerable to receiving misinformation.

It’s not all bad though!! Social media can be a great place to get recipe inspiration, motivation to move their body, and ideas of how they make time to prep food for school.

So, how can we help them work out if something is true or just a wellness trend? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Join me for our free webinar and I’ll tell you how!

Running a small business is a roller-coaster and this morning was a loop the loop that I didn’t see coming.
Every November I run a free webinar for teachers and parents to educate them about a topic that’s trending in the space of nutrition and body image.

This year the theme was ‘Truth or Trend’, and it was designed to help teachers and parents identify what health information they can trust online.

As a health care professional that works with teens, I see firsthand how much they struggle to identify what is true and untrue in the online world of health information. My hope with this webinar was to equip teachers and parents with the tools to help their young people move through this space.

This was all good and well in theory… but then zoom crashed and no one showed up…

In the past I would have beat myself up and let this one challenge define who I am as a business owner. The reality is that sometimes things just don’t go to plan, I’m human.

I’m running the webinar again, this time in the evening. Like this post and I’ll personally send you the link to join me!

Thank you so much for giving me space to be honest, I am very grateful for each of you 💛

My beautiful friend Taylor was down for the weekend, and I want to share everything I made for us! 👩‍🍳

I will start by saying that I’m someone that genuinely loves being in the kitchen, it is my happy place, but when I have people over I try and spend as little time in the kitchen as possible so I can be present with my guests.

Here is what I made and when I prepped it:
🍄‍🟫 Mushroom risotto – She was arriving at 5:45pm so it was almost cooked when she got here. The salmon was also in the oven and the greens were prepped and ready for a quick sauté
🍪 Choc chunk cookies – Baked them the day before
🥜 Granola – Made it on the weekend
🍗 Crumbed chicken – Crumbed it the day before she came so it just needed to be put in the oven
🎃 Roasted veg – Chopped everything while the risotto was cooking so that was ready too!
🥑 Breaky spread – I pre-purchased everything and we set it up together
🍿 Snacks – Had some stuff ready in the pantry and fridge so just needed to put it out

I knew after a weekend of hosting that I wasn’t going to be in the mood to cook so I made a bit extra of everything for leftovers (a special gift to myself) 🤗

Save this post for next time you’re entertaining! Also just send me a DM if you want any of the recipes featured 😋

Think you know everything there is to know about teen nutrition and body image? Test your knowledge with our true or false game! Swipe through to see how many you get right!

Just a few notes to put people at ease…

Protein is important for stable energy, muscle growth and development, and feeling satisfied... but chances are you are eating enough of it.

In terms of what’s recommended for fibre, the recommended daily intake is 30g for males and 25g for females…. But we know that only 28% of adults and 42% of children consume an adequate amount of fibre every day in Australia. Can you see why I’m a fan of this trend?

Curious to learn more? Join me for our FREE webinar where we’ll dive deeper into each of these and give you the knowledge you need to support your teen to decipher truth from trend ✨
