A little gift 🎁 for you !

03/11/2026

Coles and Woolworths have a Christmas countdown. I’ve got one of my own. 🎄

Eight weeks of what’s worth buying, cooking and skipping before Christmas.

First through the door: Christmas ham.

What does that “Group 1 carcinogen” classification actually mean? And how easily does a Christmas favourite become an everyday habit?

Let’s unpack it without the panic, so you can make an informed choice.

🎥 Watch the full episode, including alternatives to ham, homemade marinades and this week’s supermarket picks:

Follow along as we open another door each week, helping you save money without spending your health.

Is ham a Christmas-only food in your house, or a regular in the fridge?

How did you sleep? 😴
Day two at the Neuro Resilience Summit in Brisbane. I slept well last night—but that hasn’t always been the case.
Yesterday reminded me how foundational sleep is to metabolic health. And “poor sleep” can mean so many different things: struggling to drift off, waking through the night, or getting up feeling unrefreshed.
Understanding the pattern is a useful place to start.

Just because I've finished my degree doesn't mean I've finished learning.

One thing I've always believed is that if you're going to give people nutrition advice, you'd better know what you're talking about.

My Bachelor of Health Science in Clinical Nutrition gave me a solid foundation, but the research doesn't stand still. And neither should I.

So this weekend I'm off to Brisbane for the Neuro Resilience Summit. Two days of professional education looking at sleep, brain health, stress and how they all connect.

It's an opportunity to hear from researchers and practitioners, challenge what I think I know, and dig a little deeper into the evidence.

Some things are well established, some are emerging, and others need a bit more research. Knowing the difference matters when you're working with real people and their health.

And that's something I take seriously at Fast Forward Nutrition.

Now, speaking of sleep... how well are you actually sleeping?

Because sleep, stress, energy and even those afternoon cravings don't always operate independently.

I've put together a free Sleep Reality Check to help you take a closer look at your own sleep habits. It takes about two minutes, and you might find it interesting.

🎃 TRICK OR TREAT… or trick AND treat?
Halloween’s almost here, cars are flying, and the supermarket catalogues are getting spooky. But there are real savings among the distractions.
🐟 THE TREAT: Coles deli salmon at $30/kg—cheaper than the ALDI salmon packs compared this week. Available at participating deli-counter stores.
🐔 THE TRICK? The $4.50/kg Steggles Family Roast is 88% chicken. The rest includes water, seasoning and additives. Before you compare it with a plain whole chicken, check what you’re paying for.
🔎 The headline price tells you one thing. The ingredients and price per kilo tell you more.

Christmas is coming. And maybe you’ve been thinking about making a change before summer.

But where do you start?

Another diet? Another supplement? Another program?

I’ve been there.

It took me five years of trial and error to understand that improving your health isn’t always about doing more.

Sometimes it’s about understanding what’s actually happening.

I’ve lived weight loss, not just studied it. And that experience is part of why I became a Clinical Nutritionist.

Today, I help people make sense of their health, nutrition and the overwhelming amount of conflicting advice.

You might see a mess. As a clinician, I look for patterns.

I’ve got time for you. Do you have time for you?

If you’re ready to explore where to start, I’ve set aside 15 minutes for a free, no-pressure conversation.

Turn down the noise. Start moving forward.

🥣 HUNGRY ON THE RUN?

That high-protein yoghurt pouch can look like the obvious choice.

Protein on the front. Convenient. Easy to grab.

But turn it around — because not all yoghurt pouches are doing the same job.

Some sweeter pouches contain 13–17g of total sugar per pouch. Higher-protein options may use sweeteners, thickeners and other ingredients to get there.

Then there’s the less exciting option: plain Greek yoghurt.

In this comparison, plain Chobani Greek yoghurt provides:
💪 14g protein per serve
🥄 No added sugar
🍓 Add your own fruit for flavour

And when I compared the cost per 10g of protein:

PLAIN TUB — $1.04
HIGH-PROTEIN POUCH — $1.34

Does that make protein pouches a bad choice?

No.

If you’re hungry on the run and the realistic alternative is a packet of chips, sausage roll, chocolate or soft drink, a high-protein yoghurt pouch can be a very practical option.

Nutrition isn’t about finding the “perfect” food.

It’s about understanding what you’re buying and choosing what works for the situation you’re actually in.

🔎 Protein on the front? Check the back.
