Is social media trying to sell you "health" 24/7? 📱💸 It’s time to separate the hype from the science. 🧬

Here are 3 red flags we’re seeing right now:

1️⃣ Green Powders: Highly processed and often less effective than eating actual fruits and veggies. Eat your greens, don't drink them! 🥦

2️⃣ Fasting: Can actually stress out your gut and nervous system. Plus, it’s hard to get enough fibre when you're skipping meals! 🚫

3️⃣ Chlorophyll Water: Save your money! If you want the benefits of chlorophyll, add more spinach or parsley to your plate. 🍃

The holidays are over, but you don’t need to feel the “post-holiday slump” in your energy, focus, or digestion.

Returning to a consistent routine can support energy levels, balanced digestion, mood, and overall wellbeing.

Here are some simple habits that make a big difference:

Regular meals and snacks to avoid long gaps that can leave you tired or overly hungry

Balanced meals with a variety of foods to nourish your body

Mindful eating by slowing down, savouring your meals, and noticing fullness cues

Consistent hydration throughout the day to support your body and energy

Consistency doesn’t mean perfection. Small, realistic changes often have a bigger impact than strict rules or sudden overhauls.

Staying hydrated this summer isn’t just about quenching thirst. It affects your energy, concentration, digestion, and even your skin.

During warmer months, fluid needs can increase due to heat, activity, and longer days. Dehydration can contribute to fatigue, headaches, poor concentration, and digestive changes such as constipation or bloating.

Tips for supporting hydration:
• Sip fluids consistently throughout the day, not all at once
• Include water with meals and snacks
• Add flavour naturally with fruit slices, herbs, or a splash of citrus
• Pay attention during exercise, hot weather, or busy workdays

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all recommendation; your needs depend on body size, activity level, climate, and diet. Small, consistent habits can make a big difference for overall wellbeing.

If staying hydrated feels difficult, or you’re experiencing symptoms like fatigue or bloating despite good fluid intake, a dietitian can help you look at your daily habits, nutrition, and lifestyle to find a strategy that works for you.

The new year often comes with big plans for perfect routines, balanced meals, and “starting fresh.” Reality rarely looks quite as tidy. And that’s completely normal.

Your gut and your body respond better to consistency than perfection. Sudden overhauls or rigid routines can create stress, disrupt digestion, and make energy levels feel worse rather than better.

Here are a few ways to ease back into a post-holiday routine without the chaos:
• Focus on small, realistic habits instead of a complete reset
• Keep meal timing consistent to support energy and digestion
• Hydrate regularly throughout the day
• Take a moment to check in with hunger and fullness cues rather than following strict rules
• Build routines gradually and celebrate small wins

Humour can help us remember: progress isn’t linear, and your routine doesn’t have to be perfect to make a difference.

January often brings pressure to overhaul everything at once. For gut health, that approach rarely helps.

For people with gut disorders, consistency tends to matter more than restriction or perfection. Irregular eating patterns, rushed meals, dehydration, and stress can all increase gut sensitivity and symptom severity.

A more supportive January focus might include:
• Eating regular meals and snacks to support gut–brain signalling
• Drinking fluids consistently across the day, not all at once
• Slowing down meals to support digestion
• Returning to familiar, tolerated foods after the holidays

These are not quick fixes, but they are evidence-based foundations that can reduce symptom variability over time.

If your gut symptoms feel unpredictable or you’re unsure where to start, an Accredited Practising Dietitian can help you personalise these habits in a way that actually fits your life. Message us or book an appointment (link in bio) to get started!

Histamine Intolerance 🤧 signs, symptoms & management.

Histamine is an amine produced by the body and found in food.
It is a mediator for allergic reactions, inflammation, neurotransmission & the immune system🛡️.

Histamine intolerance can occur when the body can’t break down enough histamine, so excess histamine reaches the bloodstream.

Signs of histamine intolerance include:
• Bloating
• Diarrhoea
• Dizziness
• Hives
• Runny nose

At this time, a diagnosis is made based on clinical presentation and response to a low-histamine diet and reintroduction.

The low-histamine diet involves a 4-week restriction of high-histamine foods, followed by small- then large-portion reintroductions.

This diet isn’t for everyone, though, and is very restrictive to complete. So it is recommended to have a specialist Dietitian (like us!) support you.

Do you think you may have histamine intolerance? Book an appointment with us today for individualised support and guidance.

While it might feel like you’re taking control of your health, removing entire food groups without a clear reason can backfire leading to nutrient deficiencies, increased food anxiety, and even worsening digestive symptoms.

Your body thrives on balance, and different foods provide different nutrients your body needs to function at its best. If you suspect a certain food is triggering problems, it’s worth investigating properly rather than removing it “just in case.”

As deititans, we make informed decsions based on facts, here some evidence:

📚 Restrictive diets that remove whole food groups are linked to higher risk of deficiencies in key nutrients such as calcium, fibre, B-vitamins, and iron (British Nutrition Foundation, 2021; Dietitians Australia, 2020).

📚 Cutting foods without professional guidance can lead to long-term health consequences. (Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 2019)

📚 Low-carbohydrate diets that limit whole grains, fruit, and legumes can result in insufficient fibre and certain micronutrients, impacting gut and heart health. (Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, 2020)

📚 A diverse diet rich in different plant foods supports a more resilient gut microbiome. (The American Gut Project, 2018)

Your gut is home to trillions of microbes, countless chemical reactions, and a delicate balance between diet, stress, sleep, and lifestyle.

That’s why one-size-fits-all gut health tips often fall flat (or make things worse).

As dietitians, our role is to untangle the confusion and help you find an approach that’s tailored to you and your symptoms, your triggers, your lifestyle.
Whether it’s working through IBS, understanding FODMAPs, or building a diet you can actually enjoy, the goal isn’t restriction for the sake of it. It’s a long-term solution that actually works in real life.

📚 Evidence check: Studies show that personalised nutrition interventions are significantly more effective in improving digestive symptoms than generic dietary advice (BDA, 2022).
