I knew from a young age I wanted to work in health. I love the energy of hospitals and medical teams. As I child I was fascinated by food and loved trying new foods. I was determined to be healthy & look after my body. Becoming a dietitian was an uber long process for me. I wasn’t accepted into the Masters in Nutrition & Dietetics Course at Flinders Uni in 1995 & had to wait until 1997 when I was finally offered 1 spot out of only 20. My career initially took me in quite a few different directions, giving me a broad general nutrition knowledge base. Ultimately I have landed here, doing exactly what I love

I genuinely love what I do and receiving positive feedback makes it even more rewarding.….

So I literally had 10 minutes to “meal prep” for the next 2 days at work. Being an Uber for 2 teenage boys is a full time job in itself. On busy clinic days I am back to back consulting, typically only grabbing a 15 min window for lunch. I typically like some fruit mid morning, I love a hot balanced meal at lunch to help me think 🤔 and afternoon tea calls for a protein rich/ slow release carb snack to get me through to dinner. Here are some of my staples when I’m not as organised as I want to be…..

So happy to have finished the Voltaren City2Surf again. Got a bit excited & had to run with a stitch for a few km 😝 but the stunning views more than made up for it 🫶

Slower this year BUT this one means so much more. Grateful my body will still let me run 10km. 2026 has delivered a reality check with hip tendonopathy & a calf strain. Slowly getting there….

I cannot recommend this book by enough!!! A kind 💕, comprehensive, evidence based guide on the safe use of GLP-1 medications to tackle the chronic relapsing disease, obesity.

So refreshing to hear her pull together all the evidence and guide those living with or treating obesity. Having worked in this space for over 27years, this book is just music to my ears.

The fear mongering at the moment is at an all time high. It really grates my gears when it comes from individuals without expertise in this space. Management of this DISEASE is so much more than eat less & move more. Be careful where you source your info from.

She also discusses the importance of fat & visceral fat mass loss and preserving muscle mass 💪 through regular monitoring use of body composition analysis. I have a InBody 570 device in both my Eastwood & North Adelaide rooms as prevention of sarcopaenia is one of my primary goals.
