1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Where do you get your nutrition information from? From your doctor, 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: from a dietitian, maybe it's from the Nutrition Couch, or 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: maybe it's from a nutritionists or a health coach online. 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: The thing with nutrition is there's a wide range and 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: varying degrees and lots and lots of experts out there. 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: So today on the Nutrition Couch, where can I share 7 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: with you who you should really be listening to and 8 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: what the differences are between the different types of qualifications. Hi, 9 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: I'm Leanne. 10 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 2: Ward and I'm Suzy Burrow, And every week we bring 11 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 2: you The Nutrition Couch, the biweekly podcast that keeps you 12 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 2: up to date on everything that you need to know 13 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: in the world of nutrition, so as well as nutrition 14 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 2: and health qualifications. 15 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a closer look at what 16 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: really is a treat and our listener question today is 17 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: all about salt and how much should we really be happy? 18 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: But to kick us off today, Susie, we have a 19 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: very always say, somewhat controversial topic to talk about the 20 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian and I guess. 21 00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: Our concern is that the nutrition I guess word or 22 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: qualification is largely unregulated in Australia and in many parts 23 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: of the world, So the term dietitian is highly regulated. 24 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: If somebody is calling themselves a dietitian, they've gone through 25 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: a minimum of four years of a science based degree, 26 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: They've done multiple practical placements under a supervision in hospital. 27 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: They have the science and the clinical practice behind them. 28 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: That's a dietitian. The qualification itself is very tightly regulated 29 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: and they are the only people that can work within 30 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: a hospital setting in Australia as well. Now, when it 31 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: comes to nutrition, anybody can call themselves a nutritionists. My 32 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: neighbor could literally start an Instagram page and be like, 33 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: I'm a house nutritionist, come and follow me, pay me 34 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: for my plans. It's appalling, it's scary. Anybody can call 35 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: themselves a health coach. Anybody can call themselves a house blogger. 36 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: Anybody that can call themselves a weight loss expert. There 37 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: is zero regulation within the field within Australia, but in 38 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: many parts of the world as well, So that's the 39 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: scariest part, Susie. But then we've also got some perfectly 40 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: wonderful professionals that are registered nutritionists that do have university 41 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: and science degrees, within nutrition. So it's very, very difficult 42 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: to pull these two terms apart. But I thought that 43 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: I would first start off with I guess the main 44 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: difference between most nutritionists and most dietitians. And when I 45 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: say nutritionists, I'm really talking about the properly qualified ones, 46 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: not the one that I've just done a four week 47 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: course online or that's done absolutely nothing in them they're 48 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: calling themselves a health blogger or nutritionis online. So I 49 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: think whenever you go and you see someone, you need 50 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: to ask to see their degree. You need to say, 51 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: what if you studied? Can I see your degree? Can 52 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: I see your insurance policy? Because unless they have a 53 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: proper degree, unless they have proper insurance, should you really 54 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: be seeing them? Should you be trusting their advice? Should 55 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: you be dming your favorite instagrammer online because they're a 56 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: health blogger and they lost twenty killers themselves and asking 57 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: them for advice. No, the answer is no, because they're 58 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: not probably qualified. So I wanted to start off with 59 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: today by going through the definition of a dietitian. So, 60 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: a dietitian is a professional that applies the science of 61 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: food and nutrition to promote health and to prevent and 62 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: treat diseases, including clinical diseases, to then optimize the health 63 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: of that individual or group or community or population. So 64 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: the biggest difference between a dietitian and nutritionist comes really 65 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: down to the clinical aspects of the condition of an individually. 66 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: Largely nutritionists work with healthy populations. They can give advice 67 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: around health, around weight loss, and generally with population groups 68 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: or sometimes with individuals as well. But the biggest difference 69 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: between dietitians is as a clinical aspect to a lot 70 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: of the conditions. And then there's a whole lot of 71 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: murky area in between. Is there suzi between unregistered nutritionists 72 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: or health bloggers and then actual qualified nutritionists. Then there's 73 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: a new term coming out called a clinical nutritionists, and 74 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: then there's dietitians as well. It's very confusing. It's a 75 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: bit of a mindfield. I'm not even sure if dietitians 76 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: understand all the different types of nutritionness and health bloggers 77 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: on the market at the moment. 78 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 3: So I wanted to discuss this because I had an 79 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 3: email come through and it said, I really need to help. 80 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 3: I've been seeing a nutritionist and she described the diet 81 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: that she'd been doing, and it was quite extreme. It 82 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,119 Speaker 3: was quite damaging metabolically, and I knew exactly where she'd 83 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 3: followed that diet, and I also knew the person who 84 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 3: had written it was not qualified, and so I see 85 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: that come through, and it does huge amounts of damage 86 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 3: metabolically to people because of course extreme diets that are 87 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 3: restrictive and extremely low carbohydrate, and if you've got medical 88 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 3: conditions like polycystic ovies inshown resistance. 89 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 4: It just reminded me of. 90 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 3: The fact that there are a number of people giving 91 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 3: applied nutrition advice in mainstream media who are not qualified. 92 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 4: So I wanted to discuss it. So I think the blurry. 93 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 3: Area for me is, yes, dietitians are an accredited profession, 94 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 3: similar to an accountant. You can be a bookkeeper and 95 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 3: very good at money, but you're not a registered accountant. 96 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 3: So for me, the dietitians the registered professional. We've had 97 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 3: the medical training, we've got a degree, we've got an association, 98 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 3: we're answerable to. We have to do peer reviewed work, 99 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 3: have to do continuing education, and follow a scientific model 100 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 3: of inquiry. 101 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 4: We can be audited, we're controlled, very similar to a 102 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 4: medical profession. 103 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 3: The issue, nutritionally is that there are a lot of 104 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 3: what I would describe as qualified nutritionists who have. 105 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 4: A science degree. 106 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 3: You know, I know several very respected nutritionists who have 107 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 3: been to university and studied for three four years in 108 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 3: an area of nutrition, and certainly compared to a health 109 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 3: coach or someone who doesn't have a science degree, they're 110 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 3: pretty qualified. No, they're not a dietitian, and if they 111 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 3: were writing prescriptive meal plans for someone with a medical condition, 112 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,239 Speaker 3: I would have concern. But if they're giving general advice, 113 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 3: cooking healthy recipes, you know, encouraging people to eat better, 114 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 3: you know, they have a science degree. 115 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 4: The issue I have is that there's a growing. 116 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 3: Number of clinical nutritionists doing the round and in mainstream 117 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 3: media who don't have a science degree. And I'm calling 118 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 3: that shouldn't be allowed, and I'm appalled in some instances 119 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 3: that it has been allowed in television, it has been 120 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 3: allowed in pre media because journalists who would claim to 121 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 3: be the ones who do the research and make sure 122 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 3: that all the data is correct don't check the qualifications 123 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: of the content that they are actively promoting to the 124 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 3: mass population. They're basically not qualified. You know, you don't 125 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: have someone who has an interest in medicine on the 126 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,239 Speaker 3: morning show talking about medicine, they're a doctor, and as 127 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 3: should be the case, it should be a dietician or 128 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 3: at least a nutritionist who has a science degree. So 129 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 3: the message for our listeners is we're not here to 130 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 3: dish people and their work. But what we're saying is 131 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 3: that if you're someone who has a medical issue, if 132 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 3: you've got complicated weight loss, if you've got hormone issues, 133 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 3: family history to take into account, you need to see 134 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: someone who is qualified. So you need to ask do 135 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 3: you have a science degree? Are you a registered professional? 136 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 3: Can I claim you from a health fund? Can I 137 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 3: claim you from Medicare? And if the answer is no, 138 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 3: I'd be questioning if that's the right person for you, 139 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 3: because just because a health coach looks slim and healthy 140 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 3: doesn't mean they're qualified in the science of nutrition. 141 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 4: And when I get emails like. 142 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 3: That and I know exactly where those people have been 143 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 3: and what diets have been doing, I just think they 144 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 3: should shouldn't be allowed to happen. And I think that 145 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 3: we should be more transparent. And I think if any 146 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 3: journalists are listening, you need to make sure that if 147 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 3: you've got nutritionists writing for your publication that they at 148 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 3: least have a science degree, because you're accountable to the 149 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 3: population to be giving evidence based advice, and it's a 150 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 3: question of actual having the qualification to do so. 151 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 4: So there's a difference. 152 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 3: Between getting on TV being a chef cooking a chocolate 153 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 3: cake and calling it healthy because you chuck some avocado 154 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 3: into it, and then giving advice on who that recipe 155 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 3: is for, whether it's good for high blood pleasure, cholesterol, 156 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 3: and giving applied nutritional advice. So, you know, journalists need 157 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 3: to take a look at where they're getting information because 158 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 3: they don't often do the research, and hence we've got 159 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 3: situations where there's people in mainstream media who don't have 160 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 3: a science degree. 161 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think my biggest gripe is that a lot 162 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: of quite unquote nutrition is without the science degrees like 163 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: you mentioned, So they've got a certificate in nutrition, but 164 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,679 Speaker 1: they're not university qualified. They don't have that science background. 165 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: A lot of these type of quote unquote nutritionists are 166 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: very largely you need to go gluten free, you need 167 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: to go dairy free, you need to go refined sugar free, 168 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: and it's the same cookie cutter meal plan time and 169 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: time again. No calves, no sugar, no dairy, no gluten, 170 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: And it's like again and again and again, and Susie 171 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: and I are just getting so frustrated seeing all of 172 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: these clients, and I'm like, you can have dairy, you 173 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: can have gluten, you can eat a little bit of sugar. 174 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: Let's talk about your goals. You know, just because you 175 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: have you know, I don't know, an autoimmune condition doesn't 176 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: mean you can't have dairy. Just because you might have 177 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: PCOS doesn't mean you can't have sugar. So it really 178 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: nutrition needs to be personalized. And I think that's the 179 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: biggest difference between a lot of nutritionis and dieticians, at 180 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: least the properly qualified nutritionists are that there's a lot 181 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: of just cookie cutter programs out there floating around without 182 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: the personalized aspects. So I was just doing a little 183 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: bit of a hunt to see the different types of degrees. 184 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: And I think if I'm being on a Susie, a 185 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: lot of nutritionists go in thinking they do have the 186 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: proper qualifications and then being told by their certificate or 187 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: course or wherever they've studied that they are allowed to 188 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: do what they're doing, and in all honestly, they probably 189 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing it right. They shouldn't be giving people 190 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: advice if you've got, you know, inflammatory about disease, you 191 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: shouldn't be giving out personalized advice if you've got a 192 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: condition like PCOS or like insulin resistance, because there is 193 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: that medical and science based background that you need to 194 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: have that knowledge. And if you've just done a tape 195 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 1: certificate or a course, you shouldn't really be giving out 196 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: this clinical advice. So I found a good article on 197 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: tape courses Australia Suzie about the difference between nutritions and dietitians, 198 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: and essentially it breaks it down into this quite easy 199 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: to understand table where you've got a certificate or a 200 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: course of nutrition versus properly accredited dietitian, both nutritions and dietitians. 201 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: As long as you've got that qualification, you're not just 202 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: calling yourself nutritionist for kicks, and you need to be 203 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: very careful with that to our listeners. You need to 204 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: actually make sure somebody does have a qualification. Then it's 205 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: what type of qualification, where did that come from? Have 206 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: you studied science and anatomy and physiology and you know, 207 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: do you understand some basic biochm practices if we're giving 208 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: out that personalized advice. So in this little table that 209 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: they brought up, Suzi, it says here that nutritions and 210 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 1: dietitians can both offer basic health and wellness advice. They 211 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: can both offer some weight loss advice. They can both 212 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: offer meal planning advice. However, nutritionists cannot offer individualized meal 213 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: plans for specific health conditions. Dietitians can. Dietitians can treat 214 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: and prevent diseases. Nutritionists can't. Nutritionists cannot offer medical nutrition therapy. 215 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: Dietitians can. Dietitians are properly accredited. They have to do 216 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: a certain number of PD every single year, and they 217 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: have to be supervised within their first few years of practice. 218 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: Nutritionists don't. Dietitians will have again that supervision and that 219 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: practical assessment for many years first, and will always have 220 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: at the bare minimum of bachelor's degree from university to 221 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: be a dietitian. Nutritionist ston't. So I think the biggest 222 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: thing is that that nutritionist term is highly unregulated. But 223 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: it does say in this little article that generally a 224 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: nutritionist's role is to help their client by providing advice 225 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: and encouragement around healthy eating. They can provide and encourage 226 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: healthy eating. Is this with weight management? This was weight 227 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: loss goals, meal planning, giving out basic advice in life 228 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: with the Austraiane guides healthy eating and promoting general healthy 229 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: advice and wellness advice. And obviously we see a lot 230 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: of great nutritionalists aligned doing a lot of wonderful healthy recipes, 231 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: and that's wonderful. But where the line becomes a little 232 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: bit blurred, Susie, is where these guys are giving out 233 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: general weight loss advice, but the client's also got pcos. 234 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: They're giving out general weight loss advice, but the client's 235 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: also pregnant. They're giving out general weight loss advice, but 236 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: the client also has you know, quite bad IBS coupled 237 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: with Crohn's disease. And that's where the lines are becoming 238 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: very blared, and the general population don't really understand the 239 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: difference between the qualifications and largely media, I guess hasn't 240 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: really helped us, Susie, because you and me are doing 241 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: a bit of work this week with a couple of 242 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: students that we had and one of the students said, 243 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: Leanne and Susie, you know, we read about your lot 244 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: online and why do you sometimes call yourselves nutritionists in 245 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: the media. And I basically said to one of them, 246 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: we don't call ourselves nutritions. Generally, we will always call 247 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: ourselves dietitians. But if a journalist is writing an article 248 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: about Suzie, they might say this nutritionist tips, or about me, 249 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: they might see this nutrition is recommends these five foods 250 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: for calcium, And that's a journalist's decision to call us 251 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: nutritionists over dietitians, because all dietitians also nutritionists, but not 252 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: all nutritionists are actually dietitians. And that's where it becomes 253 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: a bit harder. So I think a lot of times 254 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: in the media, even if we're dietitians, were written about 255 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: as nutritionists. And so I think the general population thinks 256 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: that the term nutritionists is more highly qualified than dietitians, 257 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: or they think that that term for some reason is 258 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: broader than it even is. Like, what are your thoughts 259 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: around that? Like I have noticed a lot of journals 260 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: calling dietitians nutritionists and leaving off the dietitian qualification altogether, 261 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: and again, it's just more confusing for the general population. 262 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting, it's changed. 263 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 3: I started working in television in two thousand and six 264 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 3: and then I subsequently was on Sunrise for. 265 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 4: Twelve years now. 266 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 3: They always preferred nutritionists in terms that they felt it 267 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 3: was a more user friendly message, and to be honest, 268 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 3: I didn't push it. Now in my work, I'm much 269 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 3: more distinct to say dietitian, and I've noticed with my 270 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 3: headline on nine Honey, on Body and Soul, they're seeming 271 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 3: to prefer dietitian, the Dietitian's top five, the dietitians top five. 272 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 3: So I feel that educating the media in that space, 273 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 3: health and lifestyle journalists who you know don't necessarily have 274 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 3: those nuances themselves. They might not have been to university 275 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 3: themselves instead of done cadet ships and journalism. So I 276 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 3: think it's really important that they are aware that dietitian 277 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 3: is the real qualification. If someone's a dietitian, they should 278 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 3: be referred to them as such, and are certainly getting 279 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 3: any kind of information buying diet books, prescriptive weight loss 280 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 3: books if it's written by a nutritionist, so I would 281 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 3: be very quickly checking if they've got a science degree, 282 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 3: and if it's not written there, they probably don't have one, 283 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 3: So just be taking it with a grain of salt, 284 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 3: because if you're a dietitian or qualified, or have a degree, 285 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 3: you mention it, you talk about it because it creates 286 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 3: that credibility. So I think just coming into diet season, 287 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 3: which is what we call the period through summer, when 288 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 3: there is a lot of diet books on the market 289 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 3: and a lot of information floating around, I would really 290 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 3: be making sure that if you're taking that information and 291 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 3: using it, I would be checking that if it is 292 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 3: a nutritionist, even if they write clinical nutritionist, it actually 293 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 3: doesn't mean anything. You can use that term freely. You 294 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 3: want to make sure there is a science degree there. 295 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 3: And if they don't mention it, I guarantee lea and 296 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 3: they don't have one. So I'd be really taking the 297 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 3: information with a grain of salt. 298 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: And I think the most important thing as well, just 299 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: to double check when you are seeing a professional is 300 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: to us if they're insured, Like that would be the 301 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: biggest red flag for me. If you're seeing somebody and 302 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: they're giving you a prescriptive nutrition plan, they're actively cutting 303 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: out food groups or saying to you you can't have 304 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: dairy's inflammatory, it's bad, you can't have this, you can't 305 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: have that. Ask if they have insurance, because if they 306 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: don't have insurance, that is a scary thing because if 307 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: anything were to happen to you or you know, your 308 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: house took a backward step because you're following this advice 309 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: room a professional or quote unquote professional who isn't actually qualified. 310 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: The saddest part is that's on you because you didn't 311 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: do your research. You didn't check. There's nobody, there's no 312 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: governing body to pull these people up. You can't do 313 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: you register them. They will never register in the first place. 314 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: Then I have had a qualification to take away. 315 00:14:59,080 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 4: Or as a real ethic. 316 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 3: The client who messaged me to say that she's been 317 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 3: doing this diet, it's played habit with a metabolism. Now 318 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 3: she can't get weighed off. She's you know, depleted. You 319 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 3: have physically damaged your body because of doing a diet 320 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 3: that was overly restrictive inappropriate for you. You need massive 321 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 3: diet rehab. And I just went, oh, OK, that is 322 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 3: too much for me because I know the diet she's 323 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 3: been on, and I know the work that will be 324 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 3: required to shift that metabolism after following such a restrictive 325 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 3: diet for so long, so you know, beware because it 326 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 3: can be actually damaging physiologically, particularly if you've got some 327 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 3: of those hormonal conditions or they haven't been diagnosed because 328 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 3: that non qualified person actually hasn't picked up on that 329 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 3: because they're not looking for those medical indicators as we 330 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 3: would be, all rightly. And hopefully that's helpful to our 331 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 3: listeners because I know a lot of people are, you know, 332 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 3: getting advice or following nutrition, and I hopefully it encourages 333 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 3: you to look up that background of people that perhaps 334 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 3: you're following. But moving a different note, I was listening 335 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 3: to a Gabby Bernstein pod. Now Gammie Bernstein is sort 336 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 3: of a self help guru. She's been around for many, 337 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 3: many years. She has a lot of stuff around manifesting. 338 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 3: She again is not scientifically qualified and clearly states so, 339 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 3: but she often has experts on and she was talking 340 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 3: about an expert she interviewed who was a medical doctor 341 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 3: and he they were talking about reframing the idea of 342 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 3: treats because she said, in life, often we're looking to 343 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 3: treat ourselves and whether that's a shopping spree or getting 344 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 3: a massage or often and we talk about this tou 345 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 3: Lean treating yourself with a food, you know, perhaps after 346 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 3: you have had a big day or once a week, or. 347 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 4: There's this idea of a treat. 348 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 3: And the discussion on the podcast was around if it's 349 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 3: doing damage to your body, it's not a treat. So 350 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 3: if your idea of a treat is hoing into a 351 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 3: big piece of cake or a process food, or a 352 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 3: fast food meal or even you know, confectionery ice cream 353 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 3: at the end of a long day, if it's ultra 354 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 3: processed food, we really need to re examine our idea 355 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 3: of a treat. And I thought Leanne straight away, this 356 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,719 Speaker 3: is something and this is a good example of why 357 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 3: dieticians professional because we sort of constantly evaluating our work 358 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 3: and considering it scientifically. 359 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 4: And I thought, that is true. 360 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 3: I need to be much clearer with clients when I'm 361 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 3: suggesting that they might have a treat, to make sure 362 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 3: that it doesn't translate into a treat that's crap quality food. 363 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 3: So when I'm thinking crap quality food, I'm thinking blocks 364 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 3: of commercial chocolate that's filled with confectionery. I'm thinking fast food. 365 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 3: I'm thinking you know, process biscuits, I'm thinking processed ice 366 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 3: creams where you look at the ingredient list and it's 367 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 3: a mile long and it's ultimately lean, an ultra processed food. 368 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 3: And I think I too, and probably both of us, 369 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 3: we need to be clearer that when we say a 370 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 3: treat or sort of have something that you're soul food, 371 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 3: that we are talking about ideally good quality soul foods. So, 372 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 3: for example, you're going to be much better to have 373 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 3: a couple of squares of eighty five percent Linch chocolate 374 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 3: than you are to have a few squares of Marvelous Creations. 375 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 3: And the difference is that Marvelous Creations is pack full 376 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 3: of color, flavor, confectionery, chocolate, lollies, many many ingredients, compared 377 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 3: to say, a couple of box of a high quality 378 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 3: dark chocolate that's only got two or three or in 379 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 3: the case of ice cream. And we're both guilty of this, 380 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,719 Speaker 3: if it's less than one hundred calories, we say it's 381 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 3: all right. Whereas you're much better to have, say a 382 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 3: twisted frozen yogurt, which is a very clean ingredient list 383 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 3: and far less processed than some of the mainstream kind 384 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 3: of brands and outlets that have got colors and flavors 385 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 3: and a. 386 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 4: Really long ingredient list. 387 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 3: So I just wanted to clarify that and think, you know, 388 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 3: I agreed with that message. Putting poor quality food into 389 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 3: your body is not a treat, and I think when 390 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 3: we reframe that and make sure that the treats we're 391 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 3: choosing are the highest quality possible nutritionally, that's a much 392 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 3: better message than to say, oh, well, you can have 393 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 3: macas once a week because it's a treat and you 394 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 3: deserve it. 395 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. I agree, But also I guess I'm going to 396 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: fee a little bit. 397 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 3: Because I think you're thinking of those ice the coal's 398 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 3: ice greeno ones. 399 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm just trying to say that. What I 400 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: generally say to my clients is if you truly love something, 401 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: I don't care if it's cabarety, marble, whatever. I don't 402 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: care if it's got a bit of artificial colors or 403 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: whatnot in I don't care if it's not clean food. 404 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: If you truly truly love something, and I mean love 405 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: like it would be on your top ten foods if 406 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: you were going to die tomorrow, and you could have 407 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: five to ten foods, and that was the last five 408 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: to ten foods you ever eat those sorts of things 409 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: would be on there right. And I think where the 410 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: lines get blurred. Aer we think that we like treats, 411 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: and we do like treats, but I'm not when I 412 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: say to my clients are soul food. It's something you 413 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: truly truly love. You don't like because I like a 414 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: chicken salad, but I also like a lot of biscuits. 415 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: But I don't eat a lot of biscuits because one 416 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: is good for me the chicken salad, and one is 417 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: not so great for me. Majority of biscuits. So if 418 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to put something into my body, like you said, 419 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: I have to truly truly love it, not just like it. 420 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: And I think where most people go wrong. And this 421 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: is what I try to teach some of my clients 422 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: Susie around. There's that balance between healing your relationship with 423 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: food generally truly enjoying foods that you love, and leaving 424 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: the foods that you like on the table because we're 425 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: putting too many things that we just like. The bowl 426 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: of chocolates in the office, the banana bread somebody bake 427 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: that something we had at our mother in law's house, 428 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: nibbling off the kids plates. We like a lot of 429 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: that stuff. So I'm in agree in Susie when you 430 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: say that poor quality treats were terrible ingredients. If you 431 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: just like them, leave them alone, because you're just putting 432 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: crap in your body. You can either put that in 433 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: the bin or you can put it in your body. 434 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 1: It's crap food. But if you truly truly love it, 435 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: if you truly loved twisties like they were, Like, if 436 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: I had one last day on Earth, I would have 437 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: a bag of twisties because I absolutely joking. No, I'm 438 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: not joking. I would actually be okay with clients occasionally. No, 439 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: I don't like TWISTI it's I love twisties. I would 440 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: be okay with them eating them. It was just a 441 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: random thing, just twisties. Yeah, I don't love them, but 442 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: they're not my thing. But for some of my clients 443 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: they are, and I'm okay. I'm like, okay, cool, we 444 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: can have them. That's cool. We'll work them into your 445 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: meal plans. But if they're like, look, I like twisties. 446 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: My kids have them all the time, they're in the house, 447 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: but I don't love them, love them, I'll be like, 448 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: leave them alone. Put the twisties back in the cupboard. 449 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: We're not working them into the meal plan. They're not 450 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: good for you, We're I've got to do it. So 451 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: I think it's that blurry line between I like it 452 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: versus I love it, And you have to truly love 453 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: what you're eating if it's not actually good for you. 454 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: And let's be honest, there's that blurred line between healing 455 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: our relationship with food, achieving fat loss, and also achieving health. 456 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: And they're three separate components, but they can kind of 457 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: work together. But you have to be very clear on 458 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: the foods that you truly love and the others that 459 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: you just like and leave them alone. Because the majority 460 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: of the treats that we like that are good for us, 461 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: like I say, ninety percent of them have crap quality 462 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: ingredients in there. So you can do what Zusie suggested 463 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: and choose better quality types, and certainly from a health perspective, 464 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: that's much better. But in my experience, if you truly 465 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: love something, cutting it out all together just because it 466 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: has terrible ingredients can often cause you to then go 467 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: and overeat it later on. But it's a fine balancing act. 468 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: But I think too many of us are just eating 469 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: too much of the crappy tweets that we like because 470 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: they're available and they're around, versus the fact that we 471 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: truly love them. 472 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think though, we do need to be 473 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 3: very clear that when it's really poor quality processed food, 474 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 3: Like I've just had a look at the ingredient list 475 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 3: of Twisties, it's refined cereal, vegetable oil, cheese powder, MSG. Like, 476 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 3: we need to be clear though and call out ultra 477 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 3: process ultimate crap food, like as I said, I've just 478 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 3: done a review on say, Burger King, KFC Machers, like 479 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 3: even I was horrified at what's in these meals. So 480 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 3: I think, you know, yes, it's a treat, but let's 481 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 3: be also clear that it's not good for the body. 482 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 3: That I think that's the message that this doctor was saying. 483 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 3: We're relating it as a treat as in something positive, 484 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 3: but we've got to be very clear that in the 485 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 3: case of those ultra processed foods. So the ingredient lists 486 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 3: a mile long with lollies and flavor enhancers and fast food, 487 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 3: is it really a treat when ultimately it's doing damage 488 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 3: to the body. And I think that is a worth 489 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 3: and I will certainly in my own communications be clearer 490 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 3: with clients to say, look, yes you've got some extra 491 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,719 Speaker 3: calories to play with something you enjoy, but these are 492 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 3: the better options. So you're one hundred percent better to 493 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 3: have the ninety percent dark chocolate than the other type 494 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 3: of chocolate that's heavily processed. So I just I thought 495 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 3: it was an interesting discussion because if you are saying 496 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 3: to people that cakes a treat, but it's actually full 497 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 3: of process crap, it's not good for you, I think 498 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 3: it starts to take the emotion away from a treat 499 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 3: to actually saying that is just not good for my body. 500 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I think it's important to recognize. But 501 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: I also think that mindful eating has a huge element 502 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: here because take the twists for example, say I had 503 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: ten clients of are like I love twistis if I 504 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: truly got them to sit down and eat it mindfully 505 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: and actually taste it, I would say nine out of 506 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 1: ten of those people would actually turn away and go, 507 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: you know what, they weren't actually as good as what 508 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: they thought in their head. It feels like such a treat, 509 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: but when you sit down and you truly savor and 510 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: enjoy that food, and eat it mindfully. What is a 511 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: twisty It's just a dry flavor, cheese tasting thing at 512 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: the end of the day. 513 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 3: Now that's fast food as well. That's fast food. It 514 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:05,959 Speaker 3: doesn't even taste good exactly. 515 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: So I think mindful eating has a huge element to 516 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: play here, And I think a lot of us aren't 517 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 1: eating treats mindfully. We're not really tasting them. The idea 518 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: of them is far more satisfying than the actual eating 519 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: element of that treat. So even though I'm saying that yes, 520 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: if that's something that you love, absolutely I allow my 521 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: clients to have it. At the end of the day, 522 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: most of them turn around to me after we've gone 523 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: through what is mindful eating, we've practiced it a few times, 524 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: a lot of them turn around to me, Susie and go, 525 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: I don't need that soul food on my list anymore. 526 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: Like a lot of clients, the list of self foods 527 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: that they send me when they first start working with 528 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: me is very different to the list of soult foods 529 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: they send me the end, once they've gone through a 530 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: lot of the practices of mindful eating. So I think 531 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: that mindful eating element has a huge component here. But 532 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. I agree. I think that 533 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: we're putting far more of this ultra process food into 534 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,479 Speaker 1: our body than we need to. But I think we 535 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: actually need to just start tasting our food and recognizing 536 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: is that something that I truly love? Is this actually 537 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: a treat for me? Or do I think it's more 538 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: of a treat that it actually tastes like. Does it 539 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: actually taste like something that's incredible, amazing, like a fine 540 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: cuisine type meal, or is it something I'm just shoveling 541 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,959 Speaker 1: in because I'm stressed and I'm sad, and I've had 542 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: a bad day and I'm looking to treat myself in 543 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: that way. Is it more of a treat in my head? 544 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: Or is it actual treat to my palette? Because I 545 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: think so many of these things aren't actually as good 546 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: at tasting as what we think they are on our head. 547 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 4: Very true, good summary. 548 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: All right, Well, moving on to our listener question of 549 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: the week, we talk about salt Susie. So, the guidelines 550 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: in Australia, and I imagine they're very similar around the world. 551 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: Ustralian and New Zealand governments actually recommend that healthy adults 552 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: eat no more than two thousand milligrams of sodium per day. 553 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: You think, oh, it's two thousand milligrams. That sounds like 554 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,360 Speaker 1: so much, But oh my goodness, Susie, let's break it down, 555 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: because it's really not that much. It's about it's about 556 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: a teaspoon of salt altogether. Isn't it like, it's not 557 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: really that much at all. 558 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 4: No, it's not much. 559 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 3: And I think the things that stand out to me 560 00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 3: and why I wanted to discuss it because this was 561 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 3: a question that came through on the podcast Instagram, was 562 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 3: there's kind of middle ground, you know, in terms of 563 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 3: foods that say have four six hundred eight hundred if 564 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 3: it's a processed food with a sauce. But then there's 565 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 3: a whole whack of meals and foods that have got 566 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 3: close to two thousand milligrams per serves in a single meal, 567 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 3: So things like presseudo straight away, extremely high bacon sausages, 568 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 3: and then any kind of cuisine because chefs just. 569 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 4: Throw so much salt. 570 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 3: If you saw how much salt went into your food 571 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 3: at a restaurant, it wouldn't surprise you what tastes so good. 572 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 4: They just have buckets of it. So any fast food. 573 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 3: Meal Deal's got more than your entire daily requirement, as 574 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 3: does Mexican Gusman and Gomez, tex mex As. Does any 575 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 3: Chicken Place KFC, red Rooster, any kind of fast food meal, 576 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 3: Burger King macas KFC, They've got like three up to 577 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 3: you know, four thousand milligrams of sodium perserve. So it's 578 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 3: just good to be aware and you have a quick 579 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 3: look on the label. I look for one sort of 580 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 3: sort of less than six hundred milligrams per serve as 581 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,719 Speaker 3: a rough eye. A low sodium food's got less than 582 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 3: three hundred milligrams per serve, so we do need some, 583 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 3: but I think as soon as you target those old 584 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 3: really high foods. Another really high one land is two 585 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 3: minute noodles. The sashet has got more than almost two 586 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 3: thousand milligrams per serve, which is why it's not a 587 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 3: great snack for kids. So that's kind of the handful 588 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 3: of foods that come up as being mega high. So 589 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 3: just be careful of presudo if you selt sensitive going 590 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 3: into the holidays. Smoke salmon's kind of middle ground in 591 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 3: terms of amounts. It's higher than say fresh salmon, of course, 592 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 3: but it's yeah, the process meets the fast food meals. 593 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 3: The two minute noodle sachets are particularly high, coming in 594 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 3: at that two thousand per serve. And I recently reviewed 595 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 3: like a pre made meal in a pouch, but I 596 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 3: couldn't endorse it because it was over a thousand milligrams 597 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 3: per serve. So as soon as any process foods over 598 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 3: a thousand, I put it back down. 599 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 4: It's way too high. 600 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 3: So just good to be aware, particularly if if you 601 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 3: do have high blood pressure and you're mindful of sodium, 602 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 3: because yeah, over time, Australians have about two and a 603 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 3: half times the recommended intake per day of sodium, so 604 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 3: we have huge amounts and there's some food it's just 605 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 3: to be mindful of. But yeah, less in the supermarket. 606 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 3: Definitely less than a thousand milligrams per serve and sort 607 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 3: of around six Hundred's a pretty good amount if you're 608 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 3: having a processed food. Oh, I know land soy sauce. 609 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, any Asian type cuisine. 610 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 3: HOistin fish sauce, any Asian sauce. That's why when I'm 611 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 3: cooking Asian cuisine home, I only ever use one sauce. 612 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 3: I never combined too, because it just bumps it up 613 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 3: so much and I get salt reduced soy too can 614 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 3: help reduce it. 615 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: That's a good one. Yeah, because a typical tablespoon of 616 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: normal soy sauce is about eight hundred milligrams, are low 617 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: salt soy sauces around sort of five to six hundred, 618 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: So it definitely makes a dent. I must say I'm 619 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: not overly concerned about salt for my healthy adult clients. Obviously, 620 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: if they've got issues with blood pressure or heart disease, 621 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: then obviously I'm more concerned. But for my healthy guys 622 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: who just want to kind of optimize god health lose 623 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: a bit of weight, I'm not overly concerned. But like 624 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: you said, there are some heavy hitters out there, Like 625 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: I just googled a typical big mac meal. Like we're 626 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: talking nearly fifteen hundred milligrams of sodium between the burger 627 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: and the fries. Pre made soups on the market, the 628 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: better ones are six hundred milligrams. The higher ones are 629 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: on thy twelve hundred men grams a day, and when 630 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: you think the whole amount for the day is only 631 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: two thousand milligrams. Anything that comes in a packet, whether 632 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: it's a cereal, a bread, a sauce, it's going to 633 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: have added sodium in it, even if you can't taste it. 634 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: And there's a reason why I always say to my 635 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: clients if they ever go out for a meal, even 636 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: if it's a healthy type meal, like we might go 637 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: and have some I don't know, like a Vietnamese rice 638 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: chicken salad bowl or something, but because they use the 639 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: fish sauce and the soy sauces flavor, I always say 640 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: to my clients, whatever you do, do not jump on 641 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: the scale the next day after you have a meal out, 642 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: because it will be an inflated number on the scale 643 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: because the sodium retains water in your body. And David 644 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: and I just had dumplings last night, SUSI, you've got 645 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: us hooked on dumplings. And I added a bit of 646 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: soy in my stir fried greens, and I couldn't get 647 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: my wedding ring on this morning. I was like, oh 648 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: my goodness. So whenever you're feeling a little bit puffy, 649 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: or your rings aren't fitting properly, or your face is 650 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: a bit puffy, it's probably due to the excess amount 651 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: of sodium. So there's definitely some heavy hitters. But reading 652 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: those labels are really really needed when you're going through 653 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: the supermarket products because when you think about two thousand 654 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: milligrams a day, even if you don't I had salt 655 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: to your meals, you know, even if you're not cracking 656 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: the salt on top of you here, let lunch or dinner, 657 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: you're still getting in a large amount through a lot 658 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: of the packaged products, and a lot of things people 659 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: don't really realize. Breads, cereals, sauces, pre made meals, hitt 660 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: up meals. I love some of those preheat soup options 661 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: sous he particularly just after we had Tilly a couple 662 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: of months ago. It was winter, it was quite cool, 663 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: and we're using a lot of those sort of heat 664 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: up meals soups during winter for our lunches as well, 665 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: just because neither of us had time to cook. So 666 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: you've just got to be a little bit aware of that, 667 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: and particularly if your goal is weight loss, knowing that 668 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: sodium does impact the scale because it kind of acts 669 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: like a sponge. It helps to retain water in your bodies. 670 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: If you've had a huge, heavily high salt type of meal, 671 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: you are probably going to weigh a little bit heavier 672 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: on the scale the next day. It does tend to 673 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: influence scale wait quite a bit. 674 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 4: As well, it doesn't. 675 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 3: I just I know for sort of healthy, active people, 676 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 3: and even I don't pay a huge amount of attention 677 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 3: to salt. But I certainly with my females in their 678 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 3: forties and fifties who have any kind of pro inflammatory 679 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 3: disorder or joint pain, I would really pay attention to 680 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 3: your sodium because it will have a massive impact on 681 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 3: reducing inflammation and puffiness in your body and you will 682 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 3: feel much better. So if you're one of those people 683 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 3: who have joint pain you know you're inflamed, certainly you're 684 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 3: the group who I would be paying a bit more 685 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 3: attention to it. And another buffer for that is some 686 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 3: beetroot juice. It's a very nice buffer for sodium in 687 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 3: the diet, So a little bit of that in the morning. 688 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 3: But yes, for that group of people, I'd be a 689 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 3: bit more salt aware because you'll notice a lot less 690 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 3: joint pain if you keep the salt in the fluid 691 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 3: load down in your diet. 692 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,719 Speaker 1: Wonderful. All right, Well, that brings us to the end 693 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: of the nutrition couch potty. For another Sunday.
