Some children become anxious after a Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis.

Some become withdrawn. Some become angry or overwhelmed. Some parents feel they must stay “on alert” all the time.

These responses are more common than many families realise.

Psychological support can help children and parents process the emotional impact of living with a chronic condition and build healthy coping strategies early.

Our Senior Clinical Psychologist is now accepting referrals for paediatric Type 1 Diabetes support, including:
✨ Adjustment after diagnosis
✨ Anxiety and emotional wellbeing
✨ Needle and medical procedure fears
✨ Family support and coping
✨ Adolescent diabetes burnout
✨ Confidence with self-management

Supporting the emotional wellbeing of children with Type 1 Diabetes is an important part of long-term care.

For further information regarding appointments with Dr Jodie Landstra , please contact 02 9157 9095.
Consultations are available at our Wahroonga and North Sydney practices, as well as via Zoom telehealth.

Type 1 Diabetes affects more than blood sugar levels.

It can affect confidence, sleep, friendships, school life, family dynamics, and emotional wellbeing — for both children and parents.

Many families tell us they feel pressure to “get everything right” after diagnosis. But adjusting to Type 1 Diabetes takes time, support, and compassion.

Our Clinical Psychologist now welcomes referrals for children, adolescents, and families living with Type 1 Diabetes.

We support families with:
• Coping after a new diagnosis
• Diabetes-related anxiety and distress
• Needle fears and medical anxiety
• Emotional resilience
• Adolescent burnout and frustration
• Parenting support and family coping strategies

Because caring for a child with Type 1 Diabetes is not just medical — it is emotional too.

Referrals are now welcome.
For enquiries, please contact 02 9157 9095.

Appointments are available at our Wahroonga and North Sydney practices, with Zoom telehealth consultations also offered.

Treats Can Absolutely Be Part of a Healthy Life 🍫✨

Food is more than fuel — it’s enjoyment, balance, connection, and satisfaction too.

Snacks and treats don’t need guilt attached. In fact, when made with nourishing ingredients, they can support your health goals and satisfy that sweet tooth.

🥜 Protein balls are a great example:
• Balanced energy – Often combine protein, healthy fats, and fibre
• Keeps you fuller for longer – A satisfying snack between meals
• Supports muscle health – Especially helpful when protein-rich ingredients are included
• Convenient & portable – Perfect for busy days
• Can help reduce over-snacking – A planned, satisfying snack can prevent that “starving and grab anything” feeling

✨ Common nourishing ingredients:
Oats, nut butter, chia seeds, dates, protein powder, seeds, and dark chocolate.

💡 Remember: Healthy eating isn’t about perfection — it’s about balance.
Enjoying snacks you love without guilt can be part of a positive, sustainable relationship with food.

Because sometimes, a protein ball is both a treat and a smart choice.

When a child is diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, parents often go straight into “survival mode.”

Learning carb counting. Monitoring glucose levels. Managing injections. Watching overnight numbers. Trying to keep everything together while your child is also adjusting emotionally.

It can be exhausting.

Our Senior Clinical Psychologist provides support for children, adolescents, and families navigating the emotional side of Type 1 Diabetes — because mental wellbeing matters just as much as physical health.

Support is available for:
✨ Anxiety and overwhelm
✨ Fear around needles or devices
✨ Emotional adjustment after diagnosis
✨ Parenting stress and burnout
✨ Building confidence and resilience
✨ Helping children feel safe, supported, and understood

You do not have to carry it all alone.

Dr Jodie Landstra is now welcoming paediatric referrals for Type 1 Diabetes support.

Referrals are now being accepted.
For further information, please contact 02 9157 9095.
Consultations are available at our Wahroonga and North Sydney practices, as well as via Zoom telehealth.

Why Chia Seeds Deserve a Spot in Your Day 🌱

Tiny but powerful — chia seeds may be small, but they pack a serious nutritional punch.

✨ Health benefits of chia seeds:
• Rich in fibre – Supports digestion, gut health, and helps keep you fuller for longer
• High in omega-3 fats – Supports heart and brain health
• Great plant-based protein source – Helps with muscle repair and satiety
• Loaded with antioxidants – Helps protect cells from oxidative stress
• Supports blood sugar balance – Fibre may help slow glucose absorption
• Bone health boost – Contains calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus

💡 Easy ways to enjoy them:
Add to smoothies, oats, yoghurt, puddings, or sprinkle over salads.

⚠️ Tip: Always soak chia seeds or drink plenty of water with them, as they absorb liquid and expand.

Small seed… big benefits.

Let's talk Melatonin

🌙 Foods that may support natural melatonin production

If sleep has been feeling a bit off lately, what you eat during the day (and evening) can play a small but meaningful role in supporting your body’s natural sleep hormone, melatonin.

Melatonin isn’t just found in supplements — your body actually produces it, and certain foods can help support that process by providing key nutrients like tryptophan, magnesium, and antioxidants.

Here are some foods that may help:

🥜 Almonds – a source of magnesium, which supports relaxation and sleep quality
🍒 Tart cherries – one of the few natural food sources of melatonin
🐟 Salmon – rich in omega-3s and vitamin D, which may support sleep regulation
🥚 Eggs – contain tryptophan, a building block for melatonin
🌾 Oats – provide complex carbohydrates that can help tryptophan reach the brain more easily
🍌 Bananas – contain magnesium and potassium, which support muscle relaxation
🌿 Chamomile tea – naturally caffeine-free and often used as a calming evening ritual

💡 Simple tip: Pair a small carbohydrate snack with a protein source in the evening to support tryptophan availability — and aim for consistency with your evening routine.

Sleep is complex, and food is just one piece of the puzzle — but it can be a helpful one when used gently and consistently.
