A DIETITIAN’S ELECTROLYTE ROUND-UP: POTS + OH EDITION 🇦🇺

Feeling overwhelmed by the electrolyte aisle? We’ve done some of the legwork for you 👀

We’ve rounded up some electrolyte options available in Australia in 2026 and compared what really matters for POTS/OH - including sodium per serve, carbohydrate, ingredients and cost.

🧂 Because ‘electrolyte’ doesn’t automatically mean high sodium!

Swipe through to compare some popular options and find one that may fit your needs, preferences and budget.

✨ Tip: Always check the ingredient label and nutrition information panel, as formulations can change.

⚠️ Check with your GP, Cardiologist or Dietitian before increasing your sodium intake significantly. Avoid additional sodium if you have high blood pressure.

Save this post for your next electrolyte shop! And head to our blog for more options and details.

It’s Malnutrition Week ANZ - a good time to talk about what malnutrition can look like, especially for those living with invisible illness.

Malnutrition doesn’t always mean weight loss. For people living with EDS, HSD and complex symptoms, meeting nutritional needs can be challenging for many reasons, and the signs aren’t always obvious.

We’ve put together some of the signs we commonly see in our clients. Have a look through and see if any sound familiar.

If you’re concerned about your nutrition, talk to your GP and consider booking in with a dietitian for an assessment (we’d be happy to help 🙋‍♀️).

Hiya, we’re Savvy Dietetics 👋

We’re a small team passionate about supporting folk living with invisible illness, hypermobility and complex gut symptoms as they navigate their nutrition journey and find a clear path ahead.

Shaped by lived experience and firsthand knowledge of the challenges of navigating the health system and a lifetime of gut issues, I set out to build a team who truly *get* this space and have the right tools to help.

We are dedicated to staying up to date in the HSD/EDS community. We are associated with .danlos Core Networks of Excellence, and .aus, and Aleisha and I are currently in the process of organising an EDS ECHO Nutrition program, starting in May this year. We are incredibly grateful to work alongside so many incredible local clinicians as well.

Aleisha and Romy are currently accepting new clients, and Katherine will be opening her books soon to schedule clients from late February (after finalising her PhD in microbiome science and mental health!).

Thank you for being part of our community 💛

Your favourite carrot cake loving Dietitians,

Savvy (& Aleisha, Romy and Katherine)

🌟 EHLERS DANLOS GLC RECAP 🌟

The recent EDS GLC was truly special - it’s not every day we get to be in a room full of amazing clinicians and passionate hypermobility advocates, or see our colleagues from .aus and 💛

As someone living with hEDS, the hypermobile community feels like home. Aleisha and I attended in person, while Romy joined us virtually from NSW ~ .

Attending really drove home the conference theme of teamwork, and I feel like we’ve come away with a deeper understanding of how we as clinicians can better support our Hypermobile community. There are too many highlights to mention! (and more incredible people than I can tag!)
