1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: What's next to you usually buy for the family. Maybe 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: it's some healthy bites or some healthy bars. Maybe you 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: allow a packet of chips every day, or maybe you're 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: quite strict and stick to just a fruit or a 5 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: serve of dairy. On today's episode of The Nutrition Couch, 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: we have some new data on what our kids are 7 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: actually snacking on, and to be honest, the data isn't great. 8 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 2: Hi. 9 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: I'm Leanne Ward and I'm Susie Burrows, and together we 10 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: bring you The Nutrition Couch, the weekly podcast that keeps 11 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: you up to date on everything that you need to 12 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: know in the world of nutrition as well as all 13 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: kids snacking. We have some new information on creatine gummies, 14 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: we found some great new cheese that we think our 15 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: listeners will love, and our listener question this week is 16 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: all about bone health. But to kick us off this week, Susie, 17 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: you had some trending online anger about broccoli. 18 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 3: My did I saw on news dot com this week 19 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 3: this really interesting article about people breaking their stalks off 20 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 3: their broccoli, And then a particular food outlet, I think 21 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 3: it was more of an independent grocer, had put a 22 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 3: sign up to say that they would find people a 23 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 3: dollar if they got caught breaking a stalk up the broccoli, 24 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,559 Speaker 3: and I just loved it because I think that admittedly, 25 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 3: you know, you go into the supermarket or the grocery store, 26 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 3: and when broccoli is like ten twelve dollars a kiloh, 27 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 3: it's like whoa, Like that's getting up around three five dollars, 28 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 3: you know, for a single sort of. 29 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 4: Serve or two. 30 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 3: And I can see how grocery buyers would be very 31 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: tempted to do it, because I don't really use the 32 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 3: broccoli stalk, and on occasion I have broken it off 33 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 3: if it's easy, but as you alluded to, it is 34 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 3: actually quite hard to do. Some of the stalks are 35 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: really quite strong and it's hard to get it off. 36 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 3: But I actually don't cook and eat it, and so 37 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 3: I can completely understand why people may do that, and 38 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 3: it lends itself to I've seen other articles in the 39 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 3: past where people have opened blueberries and tried them, and 40 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 3: I completely understand that. Like, if you're paying eight dollars 41 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: for a punnet of berries and you open them and 42 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 3: they're not great, which sometimes they aren't, why would you 43 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 3: pay for them? You know, And people say, oh, you 44 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 3: can return them. It's a pain to return them like 45 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 3: you get them home. You don't necessarily take them back 46 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: or have time like yes, supermarkets will take them back, 47 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 3: but often you won't do that. I bought some tomatoes 48 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 3: the other day. They were close to five dollars a punnet, 49 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 3: and at the bottom several weren't great, you know, And 50 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 3: that's clocking up to close to a dollar a tomato. 51 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 3: So I can absolutely understand why grocery buyers are getting 52 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 3: frustrated when you know, perhaps they don't technically or traditionally 53 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 3: use the broccoli stalk. And more recently I have been 54 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 3: buying frozen broccoli for that exact reason. One of my 55 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 3: little boys loves broccoli, and I just think, God, three 56 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 3: five dollars for a serve. By the time you cut 57 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: all the stalk out and cook it, you've got quite 58 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: small amounts. Like really, Leanna, broccoli head would barely feed 59 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 3: a family of four most of the sizes. So I 60 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 3: can understand it, but I thought it was it led 61 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 3: itself to a discussion because I know that you are 62 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 3: not a broccoli stork breaker offer you absolutely not, but 63 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 3: tell our listeners if you are tempted to break it 64 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: off and save yourself a dollar or two. Leanne's got 65 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 3: some important nutritional insight as to why we should actually, 66 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 3: if possible, eat the broccoli stork and how she prepares 67 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 3: it that I thought might be quite helpful for our listeners. 68 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: Well, I don't necessarily have some nutritional insights, like I'm 69 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: not sure if it's any healthier, but I'm just too. 70 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: Scared to break it up. 71 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to get in trouble, and it's really 72 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: hard to do, like it's really thick, but. 73 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: I do like trouble. And are you getting in trouble. 74 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 3: In the grocery store the grocery section, guy, Well, I 75 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 3: don't know. My local calls is so shocking. There is 76 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 3: so few staff there. I can barely find someone to 77 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 3: ask a favor of. But Leanne's obviously very scared of 78 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 3: getting in trouble at school, which is. 79 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: Why I've always grown up in my mum, you know, 80 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: in my ear being like waste or not what not, 81 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: like use everything. So I remember when kids you used 82 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: to like you can grate the broccoli stork, and you 83 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: can make like veggie pancake, like little veggie pancakes with it, okonomiyaki, 84 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, the Japanese pancakes we. 85 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 4: Yapi. That's very good. 86 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying I've been to Japan a few times. You 87 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: can kind of boil it. You can add it in 88 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: disturb fries. I must say, though, recently, I have been 89 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: using a lot of broccolini because I just feel like, 90 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: I feel like the storks are a bit nicer to 91 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: eat on the brocolini, and I feel like I basically 92 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: cook the entire thing. I don't have to waste any 93 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: so I don't eat all of the broccoli stalk, but 94 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: I eat the majority. I just kind of knock off 95 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: the end of it and then I eat the majority 96 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: of it. But yeah, I don't know if it's any 97 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: more nutritious, but I can understand why a lot of 98 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: people don't like doing it. But yeah, I don't see 99 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: how people actually break it off. 100 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: It's so thick. I don't get it. 101 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,559 Speaker 4: Well, you're super strongly, and I find that hard to believe. 102 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 3: I do if I'm gonna I have broken it off 103 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 3: in the past, I probably won't because I feel a 104 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 3: little bit guilty. But I do look for ones that 105 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 3: have got a thinner stalk. But I understand it because 106 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: if you don't eat it, and I love the idea 107 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 3: of grating it because it's very fibrous, that's nutritionally what ads, 108 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 3: So it adds a lot of great fiber, and I 109 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 3: would say that's probably prebiotic starches. Would that be a 110 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 3: fair call in a broccoli store, which feeds the good 111 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 3: bacteria in the gut. So I can see if there's 112 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 3: a way to use it and grate it into something, 113 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 3: I think that's fantastic. You could actually like even grade 114 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 3: it into a smoothie, really depending on how sensive your 115 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 3: tummy was, because that's that kind of fiber that can 116 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,239 Speaker 3: sort of if people are more sensitive on the tummy, 117 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 3: can upset them a little bit. But I think it 118 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 3: is just a good discussion point about getting the most 119 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 3: of it out of our food. And I think that 120 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 3: from a producer perspective and a supermarket perspective, you can 121 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 3: completely understand if someone is paying for more than half stalk, 122 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 3: because some of those stalks are really thick, and if 123 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 3: you're only getting a small head of broccoli, like I've 124 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 3: noticed the broccoli is are becoming smaller, Like going back 125 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 3: to the eighties and nineties, it was a big broccoli 126 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: similar to or cauliflower, like you'd get a big broccoli 127 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 3: head and the stalk was a bit irrelevant, whereas what 128 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 3: I'm noticing now is the heads are a lot smaller 129 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 3: and the stalks are proportionally bigger. That's actually a problem 130 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 3: because people are trying to get this super food into 131 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 3: their diet. It's really good for them. And I'm interested, 132 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 3: is this just by chance that they're breeding broccoli this way? 133 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 3: Is that more a cost effective way of doing it 134 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 3: compared to the old days where you'd have more of 135 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 3: a sized broccoli like a cauliflower, and often to be honest, 136 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 3: and you'd buy cauliflower per cauliflowers. So if you go 137 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 3: to the markets in Sydney, you buy per head, so 138 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 3: a qualiflower might be between a dollar and three dollars 139 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 3: depending rather than per kilo. So you would argue that 140 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 3: really ideally for consumers the broccoli would be per head 141 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 3: and then you could select a larger head of broccoli 142 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 3: versus the stalk. But broccoli is always per kilo. So 143 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 3: I actually think it's a fundamental issue with breeding if 144 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 3: the costs of fruit and veggies are so high in 145 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: Australia or is On the other hand, what's going on 146 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 3: is supermarkets are buying or frozen food manufacturers buying the 147 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 3: larger broccoli heads to make frozen broccoli, and we're left 148 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: with the other. So if anyone listening knows anything about 149 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 3: brocoli flar, we'd love to hear it. But that's my observation. 150 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 3: The heads have become proportionally smaller over time, and that's 151 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 3: a real negative for consumers. So yeah, it's certainly tricky. 152 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 3: But I did buy the frozen broccoli and use that, 153 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 3: but it's not as crunchy as it. It gets a 154 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 3: little bit soggy, and that's not ideal either. 155 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: It roast it in the oven and you put a 156 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: little bit of parmesan and a bit of garlic pattern 157 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: and stuff on it. It roasts up really well on the 158 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: oven or in the air fryer. But yeah, it's as 159 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: ideal for like a store. 160 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 3: No, So it just lends itself to if you can 161 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 3: get to the markets or local producers, you're likely to 162 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: get a much better deal. But yeah, if anyone's listening 163 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 3: who knows anything about bccoli farming, I'd love to hear it, 164 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: because that's my observation, and I think it is a 165 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 3: fundamental issue with people eating more broccoli when the cost 166 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 3: of it is so ridiculously high, because let's be honest, 167 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 3: like they're super foods them, but they're mostly water and fiber. 168 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 4: We're paying a fortune for water and fiber. 169 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 3: This is what with cucumbers with celery, Like a bunch 170 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 3: of celery at our local was close to five dollars. 171 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 4: Now, I don't want to tell my little boy. I can't. 172 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: I'm not paying five dollars for your snack when he's 173 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 3: asking me for it. But really it's water. So you know, 174 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 3: there are some big issues there with this food production 175 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: that I don't know if it's going to be resolved, 176 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 3: but I can understand why consumers are finding it really 177 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 3: really tricky. All right, Well, moving on from fresh natural 178 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 3: food costing a fortune, Leanne, let's move on to some 179 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 3: new data about highly ultra processed food also costing a 180 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 3: fortune and compromising our nutrition. So this was a news 181 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 3: headline that came out a week or two ago that 182 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 3: was published in a very reputable nutrition journal, Nutrients, and 183 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 3: found that a extremely high proportion of kids food. So 184 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: when I say kids food, I mean foods that is 185 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 3: marketed to children. So I've just putting kids food in 186 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 3: a Wooly's search engine, and all that's come up is 187 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 3: heavily branded food so things like nice and natural fruit 188 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 3: blocks or Park Avenue character cookies with Marvel spider Man, 189 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 3: multipack school snacks that are fruit unicorns. So really those 190 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 3: foods that are tiny teddies, you know, they've got characters 191 00:08:53,640 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 3: on them. They are promoted for lunch box fillers. They're bites, bars, balls, uses, 192 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 3: kids snacks for smaller children in that sort of kids section, 193 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 3: like whole foods, fruit. 194 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 4: Bars, all of that kid's stuff. 195 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 3: The adults can absolutely eat, but really it's marketed to 196 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 3: feel lunch boxes and for relatively small children's snack boxes. 197 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 3: And it was some really strong evidence that nutrition is 198 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 3: not going in the right way for our children. So 199 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 3: basically the research is analyzed over seventeen hundred foods that 200 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: were specifically targeting kids, and fifty six over half of 201 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 3: the product surveys were high in what they described as 202 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 3: energy density, so this is the number of calories per 203 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 3: weighted serve, and eighty one percent lean were ultra processed. 204 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 3: So just to refresh our listeners, ultra processed foods are 205 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 3: foods that they're very little to no resemblance of a 206 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 3: food we would have at home. When you scan the 207 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 3: ingredient list, they are made using a number of ingredients 208 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 3: that you wouldn't find in a home kitchen, so things 209 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 3: like a mulsifiers, preservative, flavors, additives. And given that one 210 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: in forestranged children are overweight or obese, the researchers reminding 211 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 3: us that one of the issues that we're consuming and 212 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 3: our kids are consuming too much processed and ultra processed foods. 213 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 3: The worst defenders bakery items, snacks, and confectionery, which we're 214 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 3: all targeting kids and all ultimately ultraprocessed and nutritionally. The 215 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 3: issue with ultra processed foods is that they offer little 216 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 3: to know of the natural nutrients, so if they do 217 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 3: contain added vitamins and minerals, they're added back in. There's 218 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 3: a lot of white, refined starches, refined white flour, added sugars, 219 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 3: added flavors, added bad fats, so vegetable oils in processing, 220 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 3: very little in terms of fiber, whole grain, carbohydrate, even protein. 221 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 3: One of the worst defenders at the moment for me 222 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 3: is the growing number of processed meat snacks that are 223 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: just slipping in a high protein. But everyone seems to 224 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 3: be forgetting that our process meats not good for us 225 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 3: and actually considered a carcinogen by the World Health Organization 226 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 3: SOLELYEAH and this start did not surprise me. But what 227 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 3: I will say, as a parent trying to pack lunchboxes 228 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 3: for children, it is very, very tricky to find child 229 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 3: friendly snacks that are not ultra processed. And whilst we 230 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 3: have control over what our younger kids are eating, you know, 231 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 3: when my little boys were under the age of five, sure, 232 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 3: I could put the brown rice cakes in, I could 233 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 3: put the homemade muffin in, I could opt for dairy, 234 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 3: it becomes increasingly difficult when they go to primary school 235 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 3: and are seeing all the other kids with the chips, 236 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 3: the tiny teddies and the like. So I want to 237 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 3: be very clear here, Leanne, and I am not sitting judging. 238 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 3: We're just observing what's in supermarket, and it is very 239 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 3: tricky for parents to keep away from ultra processed foods 240 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 3: when over eighty percent of the popular kids snacks in 241 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 3: supermarket are ultra processed, Leanne, what's the answer for parents 242 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 3: when we're trying to minimize our intake of ultra process 243 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 3: foods with our kids. 244 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: Honestly, what I said in my clients, and what I 245 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: do a lot of is online shopping. 246 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 2: I do my. 247 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: Groceries and I get it delivered because it's so difficult 248 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: to take kids to the supermarket with you, because you 249 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: end up with half your shopping trolley just full of junk. 250 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: That the kids wanton. 251 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: The very rare occasion, I took my kids to the 252 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: supermarket the other weekend and we I was pushing the 253 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: shopping cart and Mia saw something in the aisle with 254 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: had like elsa on the front of it, and she's 255 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: like elsa, Like she didn't even know what was in it. 256 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 2: She literally just. 257 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: Wanted it because it had frozen on the front of it, 258 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: and I don't even know it was in it. I 259 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: just kept pushing the trolley. I was like, nope, not today, 260 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: and she just wanted it because it had elsa. So 261 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: I sort of call it that, like manipulative marketing tactics, 262 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: Like it's it's terrible. It's using cartoon characters, bright colors 263 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: to basically sell to kids and parents. Like it's like, 264 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: do you want the meltdown in the middle of the 265 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: aisle or do we just give in to the kids 266 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: when you're exhausted on a Sunday and you're trying to 267 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: just get to the checkout and get the shopping done. 268 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: Like I get it, it's really really difficult for parents. 269 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: So I myself and I say to my clients online 270 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: on my shop and on the rare occasion that yes, 271 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: sometimes a bit of the produce is a bit dodgy, 272 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: Like sometimes I'll get a salad bag and it's got it, 273 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: you know, one day on it and I was planning 274 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: to use it, you know, four days later or something. 275 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 2: So it is a bit of give and take. 276 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: But if you honestly find yourself at the checkout regularly 277 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: with so many different types of old processed foods in 278 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: your card because you have a hard time saying no 279 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: to the kids, actually doing some online shopping might not 280 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: be a bad thing to just help minimize how much 281 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 1: goes into the house. And then of course we've got 282 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: a lot of these like health halos, where a lot 283 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: of these companies will put what we call health halos 284 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: on the front, like no artificial flavors, no added sugar, 285 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: even though the product is packfull of sugar, but it's 286 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: naturally occurring from all of these sorts of dried fruits 287 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: and dates. So it's really difficult if you're not actually 288 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: reading the ingredient list, if you don't have an understanding 289 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: of what is in the food, and if you also 290 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: don't have boundaries in terms of how much of that 291 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: comes into the house. Because yeah, it's really really difficult. 292 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: And if you buy the chances are that the kids 293 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: will eat it and they'll probably eat far too much. 294 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: So I think it's a really difficult issue. I think 295 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: there probably should be some tirder regulations on how food 296 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: is marketed to children. I know that South Australia is 297 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: kind of leading the states in terms of Australia in 298 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: terms of some of the things that they're doing at 299 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: a state level to influence marketing and saying that you know, 300 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: there's no process meats and that thing on US stops 301 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: and that kind of thing on TV as well. I 302 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: think so I think that we can do more. I 303 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: think that there should be tighter regulations. I think that 304 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: it is a really difficult area for parents to navigate, 305 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: and like you said, Susie, it's also that peers support 306 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: from their peers at school as well. Of course, they 307 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: don't want to be the odd one out, they don't 308 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: want to be the only one that's not eating it. 309 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: But it is really really difficult for parents to navigate. 310 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: So I don't know if we have an answer. It's 311 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: multi factorial, but I think it is something that we 312 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: all should keep you and I included at the front 313 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: of our minds because there is more and more ultra 314 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: processed foods sneaking into our children's diet. It's very important 315 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: that we read the nutrition ingredients and the labels to 316 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: understand what's in it. 317 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 2: And it's also really important that. 318 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: We kind of have some form of boundary within the 319 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: household of how much of these kind of packet based 320 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: foods that the kids are allowed to have each day, 321 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: because before we know, they're not eating their lunch properly, 322 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: they're not eating their dinner properly, but they're having all 323 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: of these packet based snacks all day long. That's filling 324 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: them up, and then they're not having their well balanced 325 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: meals when it comes to lunch and dinner, and that 326 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: hopit happens far more commonly than we'd probably, So I 327 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: think that it's definitely multifactorial, and definitely it's. 328 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 2: A difficult issue, isn't it. It's not a simple solution 329 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 2: sadly no. 330 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 3: But I think what we can do today to leave 331 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 3: our listeners with some points of action is share some 332 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 3: of the kids snacks that are not ultra processed. So 333 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 3: I have just pulled up an old trolley that I 334 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 3: post every year at the beginning of the school term 335 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 3: of some of the better, better snacks. And I'm not 336 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 3: saying it's better to not make your own mini muffins, 337 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 3: of course that is you know that you listen to 338 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 3: the nutrition coush. But I'm saying that if you want 339 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 3: to put something in a packet, need to put something 340 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 3: in a packet the kids want it. Here are some 341 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 3: of my best options, so just off the top of 342 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 3: my head, and Lene you might think of a few too. 343 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 3: The kids yogurts are generally pretty good. The Tama Valley 344 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 3: there is the Farmers Union Kids. 345 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 4: I'm looking. 346 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 3: There's a few yogurts for kids that are pretty good. 347 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 3: Any kind of cheese like the cheese stringers, and generally 348 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 3: cheese and crackers are pretty good. From the range. The 349 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 3: table of plenty brown rice cakes and you can get 350 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 3: them with a yogurt or chocolate or even the sunrice 351 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 3: mini bites. Now I know a couple of weeks ago 352 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 3: is boke about process rice snacks containing relatively high amounts 353 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 3: of arsenic. Yes, that is true, but in a sort 354 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 3: of balanced diet overall, they are still one of the 355 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 3: better things if you mix the snacks up. The roasted 356 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 3: faber beans and flavored chickpeas from Happy Snack Food Company 357 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 3: are one of the better choices. I would say pretzels 358 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 3: are pretty good in general. Macro have got the Lentil bytes, 359 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 3: the sweet Potato Bytes. Messy Monkeys are one of the 360 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 3: better ones. And Macro also have some balls, some cocoa 361 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 3: sort of balls that retail for five dollars for packs 362 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 3: of two. They're pretty good. Any other spring to mind. 363 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: I've missed one of my friends, she's a dietician. She 364 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: showed me these kosher bars. They're in will worst. They're like, 365 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: don't have any emulsifiers or added shars or anything. They're 366 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: not too bad. They are a sweeter they're like a 367 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: choc chip bar. Then there's like a like a white 368 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: chocolate raspberry one. 369 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 2: They're not too bad. 370 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: They're little bars for smaller kids. Occasionally I give my 371 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: kids the little packs of the Grain Waves. Again, they've 372 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: got a whole grain base, so they are a little 373 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: bit flavored, but again they're certainly better than some of 374 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: the other options on the market. And like you, I 375 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: use the We call them carrot chippies and beechrit chipies 376 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: in my household. They're the wool was the Macro branded 377 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: Lentil bites essentially, so I really like them as well, 378 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: and the Messy Monkeys as well. 379 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 2: They do a good range of popcorn for older kids. 380 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 2: Just yeah. 381 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 3: And I would actually say, and I think you'll agree 382 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 3: with me, he being a chip lover, something like the 383 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 3: Red Rock Deli. Now, the plain Red Rock Deli have 384 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 3: got potato oil salt. Are they healthy? No? Are they 385 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 3: better than ce C's with all the flavoring on them? 386 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 3: One hundred percent. So if you want to put sort 387 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 3: of a snack pack of something in or maybe once 388 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 3: a week, the plain Red Rock Deli are one of 389 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 3: the better options. 390 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 4: Definitely. You would say that they're processed. 391 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 3: I would say that they're not ultra processed, given they 392 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 3: don't have those additives and things in there. So you know, 393 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 3: there are a handful of things that you can grab 394 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 3: here and there, and I think the shorter the ingredient 395 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 3: list is generally a good reference point as well as 396 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 3: in terms of a product, and I always try and 397 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 3: get as much dairy in there as I can. Cheese 398 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 3: and crackers, yogurt, even a flavored milk for me nutritionally 399 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 3: is much better than most of the bars and bites 400 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 3: and things in there, even if they mask is healthy 401 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 3: like a lot of the veggie style chips. 402 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: Do. 403 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, couldn't agreement? 404 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: All right, we are going to be talking about creatine gummies. 405 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: It is a trend that is very explosive online. We 406 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: know that creatine is twenty twenty five's biggest nutrition supplement trend. 407 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 2: For good reason. 408 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: There is a ton of evidence behind why the majority 409 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: of healthy women should be taking creatine metaside they most 410 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: men are ready take it, but women. We know that 411 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: creatine is proving more and more and more beneficial for 412 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 1: women every single day that Creatine gummies through all over 413 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: social media influences swear by them. They taste yummy, people 414 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: are like, oh, it's like eating a lolly. And then 415 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: of course you've got all the health halos that go 416 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: with the creating gummies. You know, the strength, the focus, 417 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: the brain fog, the recovery. They're in pretty packaging, but 418 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: do these gummies actually deliver the same amount of creatine 419 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: that they claim they do. 420 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 2: It's very very interesting, Susie's. 421 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: So there was a big YouTuber and social media influencer, 422 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: James Smith, who's actually quite credible. He has done a 423 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: big like pose on a lot of the brands. He's 424 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 1: independently paid to have a lot of these brands tested 425 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: to see if they do have the amount of creating 426 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: in the gummy that they say they do. And there 427 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: was also a big investigation from Wired recently and again 428 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: they independently tested a huge range of the really popular 429 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: creatine gummy brands and the results were shocking, Susie, Like, 430 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: actually shocking, because you would think that if a creatine 431 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: brand had a gummy that said something like contains five 432 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: grams of creating per gummy. 433 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 2: Okay, maybe not every. 434 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: Brand is exactly five grams, but I would hope that 435 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: each brand is like four point eight four point nine 436 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: to five, do you know what I mean? Like pretty 437 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: close to five grams, right, or three grams or whatever. 438 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: It is within a point ononder point two of that dose. 439 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: But a lot of these independent investigations show that there 440 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: was a significantly less amount of creating in these brands 441 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: than what the label claimed. A lot of them with 442 00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: creating doses only sixteen percent of the advertised dose, susy. 443 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: That is ridiculous, Like that is a massive discrepancy. 444 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: So it's real issue. 445 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: And I guess one of the biggest issues is that 446 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: creatine is actually really hard to stabilize. So when I 447 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: read all this, I was like, oh, wow, this is 448 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: really interesting. Of Course, I've always sort of said I've 449 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: never been a huge fan of gummies, whether that's a multivitamin, 450 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: whether it's like cillium and a gummy, whether it's creating 451 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: in a gummy. I just feel like a lot of 452 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: people are just popping these gummies because they're. 453 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 2: Like they're sweet, they're lullies, etc. 454 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: And I'm like, I think I prefer if you've got 455 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: to take a suplement with some science behind it, I 456 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: prefer you take the best quality one. And when I 457 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: did a deep dive into the research behind creating in 458 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: gummies and why so many brands were underdosing and significantly 459 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: like less than fifty percent, you know, nearly eighty percent 460 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: less than what they actually claimed on the nutrition label 461 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: for some of these brands, certainly a couple of the 462 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: good brands had the required dose in there. 463 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 2: What they said was in there was. 464 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: Actually in there, But the large majority of the brands 465 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: that were independently tested significantly less than what they're actually claiming. 466 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 2: And I think one of the reasons why when I 467 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 2: was looking. 468 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: Through some of the research and the science behind it, 469 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: was because creatine is actually really hard to stabilize in 470 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,239 Speaker 1: a gummy, So creating is highly water soble and in 471 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: an unstable moist environment. It makes it really difficult to 472 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 1: preserve creating in a gummy form without it actually degrading 473 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: into creatinine, which is like an inactive byproduct, So it 474 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 1: leads to a big loss in potency over time when 475 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: the creating is actually in the gummy. 476 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 2: So unless this formula is being. 477 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: Like specifically engineered to be able to stay stable within 478 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: the gummy, which let's be honest, most of these brands 479 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: are not doing. This is the reason I think that 480 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: so many of the gummies contain far less in terms 481 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: of the amounts of creating than what they're advertising. 482 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 2: Now. The other issue is that the whole supplement. 483 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: Industry is largely not really regulated, particularly if you're buying 484 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: an overseas branch with so many Austrains do like we don't. 485 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: When people go and look for supplement, they just grab 486 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: whatever off the shelf. They're not really looking for a 487 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: brand that is made in Australia. They're just grabbing anything 488 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: and if the brand really isn't made in Australia, the 489 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: regulations are sketchy at best. Most brands aren't batch testing 490 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: their own product. They're also not third party testing their 491 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: own products, and they really you know, most brands, unfortunately 492 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: are made by influencers or celebrities or people that just 493 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: think that they can do better. So they're like, I'm 494 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: going to start a supplement brand and. 495 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 2: Do better, but they don't really. 496 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: Understand the signs behind this, which is the key reason 497 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: why Susie and I developed designed by dietitians. 498 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: We also batch test all of our products. 499 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: We can verify all of our claims as well, and 500 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: that's a reason we haven't actually developed creating in a 501 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: gummy form. So I thought it was really really interesting too, Yeah, 502 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: just to see what's been playing out on social media, 503 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: to see that there are other such as the Wired 504 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 1: you know, independent lab analysis as well that are also 505 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: they've tested so many different independent brands, and the majority 506 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: just didn't have anywhere near the amount of creating in 507 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: them that they claim, And I just thought it was 508 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: I'm sending it to you, and I was like, oh 509 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: my goodness, Like, yeah, I thought it was a bit 510 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,959 Speaker 1: of it, like a beat up to start with, but 511 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: then I was like, no, that's actually like it makes 512 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: so much sense from a science perspective, and probably just 513 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: another reason why I've never really liked gummies without fully 514 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: understanding the science behind it, like I do. 515 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 2: Now, what do you think? 516 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 3: Well, I got that message on a Friday afternoon and 517 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 3: Liam was in a frenzy, And first of all, I 518 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 3: couldn't watch it because James Smith and I had a 519 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 3: fight one time online and he's blocked me because he 520 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 3: bagged me out for no reason. I don't know why 521 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 3: he ransomed anywhow. I had to go into a different 522 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 3: account to have a look at it. But to be honest, 523 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 3: it didn't surprise me that a lot of brands didn't 524 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 3: have the many in Like oh, sorry, when you said 525 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 3: I didn't think they would have it in, well, they 526 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 3: all should. You know, if it says it's got something 527 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 3: in it, it should have it it's. 528 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 2: Got some yeah, just not for the dose that they were. 529 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 3: But I was horrified. I was like, this cannot be happening. 530 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 3: And I would say that generally less reputable brands. I 531 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,479 Speaker 3: can hear my children from the garbage out, So if 532 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 3: you can hear that less reputable brands, doesn't surprise me. 533 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 3: Because a big, big, reputable brands. No, they need to 534 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 3: be tested. You know they're vulnerable, But it doesn't surprise me. 535 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 3: And I think this is just a classic example of 536 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 3: how people think that selling supplements is a really easy 537 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 3: way to make lots of money. We'll all do it 538 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 3: regardless of our qualifications, and you have to just basically 539 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 3: be careful. I'm like you, I don't like gummies of 540 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 3: any description, vitamins. I don't think that they're I don't 541 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 3: as a dietician. I don't ever want to be telling 542 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 3: people to have a lolly basically. So I think this 543 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 3: just highlights that one. You have to make sure that 544 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 3: if you're paying for supplements, that they are coming from 545 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 3: a credible, reputable organization. But like you described, in the 546 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 3: case of creating gummies, I wouldn't be buying them at all. 547 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 3: You need to get the powder because then you know 548 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 3: you're basically getting what you're paying for and the powder 549 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 3: should be pure, which is why we use Career Pure 550 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 3: in our products. Now it's a lot more expensive, but 551 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 3: we know we're basically getting what we're paying for and 552 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 3: telling our clients that's in there. So just great story, 553 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 3: I thought, fantastic. And yeah, I thought James Smith did 554 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 3: a great job. You know, he went and got them 555 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 3: all tested, and he said he'd had to look into 556 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 3: things legally because he didn't also want to be vulnerable. 557 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 3: But you know, you need people like that out there 558 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 3: checking things because often they're not overly accurate, and we 559 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 3: believe big companies that you know, can be obviously very misleading. 560 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 4: So yeah, I loved it. I thought it was a 561 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 4: great story in general. 562 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: And one of the ones I will say, the big brand, 563 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: I won't name it in shame it, but the big 564 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: brand that he found that he actually had tested multiple times, 565 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: just because the first time he tested it he was like, 566 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: surely that can't be right. Multiple times one of the 567 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: biggest brands who spends like this ridiculous amount, like if 568 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: you typed did in creating gummy is that brand would 569 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: come up first basically and the worst thing is that 570 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: they basically are so famous or such a big brand 571 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: because they heavily use influencers online. They're so big and 572 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: so famous and make so many millions of dollars because 573 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 1: all of these influencers are talking about them and everyone's 574 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: going to buy them. Like, if you're buying supplements of 575 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: influencer recommendations, you are probably doing it wrong. So to 576 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: end this little segment, if you are going to get creating, 577 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: try to source crepure or create vitalis. It is the 578 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: most purest form of creating monohydrate in the world. Make 579 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: sure the formula uses creatine monohydrate because that is the 580 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: most research and effective form of creating worldwide. Make sure 581 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: that the product states the exact grams of creatine perserve 582 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: not equivalent to five grams or equivalent two to three 583 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: grams the exact grams of creating in that product. Make 584 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: sure that the brand either batcheests their own product or 585 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: gets that sort of third party tested. That's more like 586 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: an American thing. They do a lot of third party 587 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: testing over there. And then basically just make sure that 588 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: you have an understanding of where your brand comes from. 589 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: Is it straight out of China, Who's actually formulating the brand. 590 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: You know, is there a pharmacist, is there a dietitian, 591 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 1: or is it just your favorite influencer who's teed up 592 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: with some random Chinese factory company and whacking their own 593 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: face on the label. So I think it's really important 594 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: to actually do some due diligence if you are putting 595 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: these things regularly into your body, because if not, at best, 596 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,959 Speaker 1: you're just wasting your money. At worst, there's potentially contaminant 597 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: and that kind of thing in your supplements which you're 598 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: actually putting into your body every single day, so it's 599 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: not probably going to end well long term for you. 600 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 1: So I think just a good reminder for all of 601 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: us to know where these things are coming from and 602 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: to do a little bit of due diligence and detective 603 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: work ourselves. 604 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 3: I think you can watch his clips James Smith PT. 605 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 3: But is he's in the UK's NY he's English? 606 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: Is? 607 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 2: I think he's English? 608 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 3: I don't know if he sometimes comes here, But you 609 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 3: can watch it James Smith PTA. I don't agree with 610 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 3: everything he says, but I think that that was a 611 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 3: really interesting reminder of you got to be very careful 612 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 3: with supplements, all right, Leanne I found some new cheese, 613 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 3: very exciting. 614 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 4: Who doesn't love cheese. 615 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 3: I don't even know why I came across it, because 616 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 3: I haven't seen it in supermarket yet, but I was 617 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 3: doing a review maybe and it came up on the 618 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 3: Woollies supermarket site, and I liked it for a few 619 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 3: different reasons because it was the first time I've seen 620 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 3: fetter advertised according to some health benefits. So this is 621 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 3: the Riverina Dairy Company high protein fetter, and I just 622 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 3: thought that's so interesting, isn't it. So Fatter cheese is 623 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,479 Speaker 3: usually a little bit lower fat than regular cheese. It's 624 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 3: usually about twenty five twenty eight percent fat compared to 625 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 3: say thirty thirty five percent for regular cheddar, And if 626 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 3: you get a reduced fat fetter, it can be as 627 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 3: low as about fifteen percent. But they are to find, 628 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 3: which makes me think when they do make them, they 629 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 3: don't sell. 630 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 4: But this one is a really interesting product. 631 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 3: So first of all, it's made by a small kind 632 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 3: of dairy conglomerate, which I always think is nice. And 633 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 3: when you look at the nutritionals per serve, they're pretty strong. 634 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 3: So per hundred grams, the energy is just over two 635 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty calories as you would expect for cheese. 636 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 3: The protein is twenty four grams fat sixteen, so only 637 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 3: sixteen percent fat, which is significantly lower fat than cheese 638 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 3: in general and specifically fetter cheese. The saturated fat is 639 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 3: a little bit higher than our recommended less than three 640 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 3: and eleven, but you would expect that for dairy food 641 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 3: in general, and the sodium per hundred seven to twenty 642 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 3: because cheese does have a fair wack of salt, but 643 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 3: per serve it's fifty gram server fetter. 644 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 4: So to give you an idea, we always we'll. 645 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 3: Generally recommend about thirty grams of cheese a day, which 646 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 3: is sort of a heaped tablespoon of fetter. So fifty 647 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 3: grams is quite a lot. I wouldn't recommend generally my 648 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 3: clients have fifty. I'd probably say closer to thirty. But 649 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 3: even for that, you're getting over six grams of protein, 650 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 3: which is very high. Usually going to be getting about 651 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 3: three grams for fetter. And what I particularly likely a 652 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 3: is that when you look at the ingredient lists, all 653 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 3: it's got in it is pasteurized cow's milk, milk, solid salt, 654 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 3: and some cultures it's an incredibly clean ingredient list. Now 655 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 3: I haven't seen it or tried it, it is it 656 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 3: Willy's only at the moment it does say out of 657 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 3: stock on my local, but it is definitely a new 658 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 3: product and has thirty percent less fat and a significant 659 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 3: amount of high protein perserve. So I'm loving it. If 660 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 3: I see it, I'll definitely be buying it. And if 661 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 3: you're a cheese lover, it would definitely then be my 662 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 3: choice of feta. And even if you're using only thirty grams, 663 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 3: you're going to be getting over six grams of protein, 664 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 3: So big thumbs up from me. 665 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 4: What do you think it's available. 666 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 2: At my local? Wars? Actually I should add that to 667 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 2: my cart for my new water. 668 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: So it's four dollars seventy for a two hundred gram block, 669 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: and this is the Riverina. 670 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 2: Not hard, it's even cheaper. 671 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: I've paid more, certainly, I've paid more, certainly, So I 672 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: actually think it's it's fairly reasonably priced. It's Riverina Dairy Cove. 673 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: And you said more than six grams fifty grams, so 674 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: it gives twelve grams of protein and. 675 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 4: I'm tired to daily Sunday it gives people, So it. 676 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: Is it is a high protein cheese. And when you 677 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: first sent this to me, I kind of thought, oh, 678 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: it's interesting, But what I personally buy it? 679 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 2: Probably not. 680 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: And the first thought that popped into my head was 681 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: I'd probably give it to like a vegan client who 682 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: really needed it. 683 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 2: But then I was like, oh, it's better, they. 684 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 4: Can't very tired were forgetting No, vegans can eat better? 685 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 2: Well, we need it. 686 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: About creatine dose, I think a couple of nights of 687 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: bad sleep. We should talk about that though, creteine and 688 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: sleep up provision because there's more and more research. But 689 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: getting back to the FETA, yeah, I think it's interesting. 690 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: If I was, say a vegetarian client, and I was 691 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: really trying to get my protein up a little bit, 692 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: perhaps I had a salad with similarentles at a bit 693 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: of kinoir and I. 694 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 2: Was looking to boost it. This would be the perfect 695 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 2: in that. 696 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: But if I had an animal product eating client, like 697 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: they had some chicken in a salad or some tuna 698 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: or some you know, some steak or something in a wrap, 699 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't buy it. I mean, I think the 700 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: ingredients are fine and the price point is absolutely fine, 701 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: but I think we've all gone a little bit too 702 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: protein crazy, so I would take it as with a 703 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: grain of salt. I don't think everybody needs and I 704 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: think a specific type of person who is probably more 705 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: plant based focused looking to up the fettera in their 706 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: diet would would need it. 707 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 2: I agree. 708 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: I think the ingredients are great, but most fetters pretty 709 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: whole food based anyway, Isn't it like I've never really 710 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: seen a bad fetter. 711 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 2: I think they're all pretty similar. 712 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would use it because I sometimes when I 713 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 3: have clients I'm trying to bump their protein up. Sometimes 714 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 3: they get sick of like having with lunches, Like they're like, 715 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 3: I don't feel like chicken or tuna again, what else 716 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 3: can I have? So, for example, if I had a 717 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 3: client who you could use that with, say egg salad 718 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 3: and just get that extra sort of five six eight 719 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 3: grams of protein. So I think I would use it 720 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 3: in that instance because people love cheese. It's salty, so 721 00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 3: it tastes good in a salad. It just finishes a 722 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 3: salad off for lunch, and so I think it's just 723 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 3: a nice way to add a little bit extra, particularly 724 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 3: for people who are getting sick of having a lot 725 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 3: of meat or fish through the day or even for breakfast, 726 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 3: right because people, as we've spoken before, two eggs for 727 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 3: women is not enough protein. But if you had a 728 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 3: slice of whole grain toast, some of that feta and 729 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 3: your two eggs, you'd be well over your twenty thirty grams. 730 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 3: So it's just a nice addition to give that little 731 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 3: bit extra, particularly if you're trying to keep calories controlled. 732 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 3: So I think it's a really functional food that is 733 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 3: just giving people a little bit more variety you or. 734 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: Really just as a snack, a couple of vitiweeds with 735 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: a couple of slices of tomato and a bit of 736 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: this better crumbled on top. Yeah, you're going to get 737 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: a you know, six eight ten grams in that. So 738 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: that's a really good option to I agree because a 739 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: lot of people don't like those low carb, high protein 740 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: tost options, and I don't blame them. Sometimes they're a 741 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: bit kind of bland, a little bit heavy. So yeah, 742 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: I think that's with a couple of eggs for breakfast, 743 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: or even just that with a bit of sliced tomatoes, 744 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: a few good slices of grainy bread will give you 745 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: ten twelve grams, even if it's not the high protein 746 00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: type bread. So a serve of this on top of 747 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: few slices with some tomato and some fresh basil could 748 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: actually go a long way to getting you up over 749 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: that twenty grams of protein permeal, which we know that 750 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: most women need. 751 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 3: True true, Sure, So well done, riverine A Dairy. It's 752 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 3: nice to see small food companies doing well, so support 753 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 3: them if you see it in woollies. 754 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll see if I can pick it up and 755 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: give us a little review next week in terms of 756 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: the taste, but I'm sure it will taste good. You know, 757 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: it's pretty hard to not taste good. FET's pretty delicious, 758 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: So I'll see if I can give us a little 759 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: review next week. 760 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 2: All right. 761 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: Then our final topic for the week is, of course 762 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: our listener questions. Sous He picks a lot of these 763 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: up from our Instagram dms or our Facebook dms, and 764 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: so this one today is on osteopenia. So I've just 765 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: found out that I have osteopenia. What should I do? So, 766 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: just to give our listeners a little bit of a background, 767 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: osteopenia is basically where your bone mineral density is lower 768 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: than normal. It's not low enough to be classified as osteoporosis, 769 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: but it's essentially a big red flag. It's a big 770 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: warning sign because it's not a diagnosis of a bone disease, 771 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: but it's basically the time to act now to prevent 772 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: any further progression of lowering that bone mineral density. 773 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 2: So it's really great that you've reached out. It's a 774 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 2: wonderful question. 775 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 1: I think the first thing that you would want to 776 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: do is prioritize your key what we call bone nutrients. 777 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: So we've got calcium, vitamin D, protein, and then magnesium 778 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: in K two as well also help support bone metabolic 779 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: K two and vitamin K two. 780 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 2: Vitamin K two. 781 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 3: The specific people haven't done a nutrition degree K two. 782 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: I'll I'll come back to it, so I'm just gonna 783 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: listen them off for a second. So, calcium wise, we 784 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: want for most people between about one thousand to about 785 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: thirteen hundred. 786 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 2: Milligrams a day. 787 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: It's a significant amount of calcium, and this depends on 788 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 1: your age and your life stage basically, so if you're 789 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 1: you know, someone who's in the twenties versus someone in 790 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,760 Speaker 1: their seventies, your calcium requirements will be different. For most people, 791 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: it's about three to four serves of dairy a day. 792 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: If you don't have dairy, you really need to make 793 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 1: sure that you're having some strongly fortified plant based alternatives. 794 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: And then vitamin D as well. We know that a 795 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: huge proportion of a something around twenty five thirty percent 796 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: throughout winter a low in vitamin D, so it's probably 797 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: a good time to go and get your vitamin D 798 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: levels checked, and if you are low, it's probably a 799 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: great time to supplement as well. Protein wise, it's really 800 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: important for bone strength as well, so really ensuring that 801 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: you're having some lean protein with every meal, perhaps adding 802 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: some of that high protein feta like we've talked about 803 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: as well. And then also the last two which people 804 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: don't really think about. They always think about the calcium 805 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 1: and the vitamin D. It's magnesium and vitamin K two. 806 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 2: So both of. 807 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: These, although smaller, both support bone metabolism as well. So 808 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: really we only want to supplement if our dietary intake 809 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: is low, so it's probably a really key time to 810 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: go and see a dietician who would do a full 811 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: diet analysis of what you're currently eating and let you 812 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: know if you need to either up the nutrients through 813 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: a diet or if that's just not possible, you might 814 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: want a supplement, But don't just go and randomly start 815 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: taking supplements because sometimes they overlap, sometimes they interact. Sometimes 816 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: you're not taking enough, times you're taking too much. So 817 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: it is really important to get some key advice around 818 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: supplementation as well. Now, besides key nutrients, you also want 819 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: to focus on strength training or weight bearing exercises, So 820 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: think about things like impact movements, skipping, jogging, playing squash 821 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,879 Speaker 1: or tennis, doing the stairs if it's safe to do so, 822 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: if you can mobilize and it's safe, all of these 823 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,280 Speaker 1: sorts of things, and resistance based training is really important 824 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: to stimulate bone formation and help to slow down bone 825 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: loss as well. And then the last thing I'll say 826 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: is you really do it is time to link in with, yes, 827 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 1: a dietician, but also potentially either a physiotherapist or an 828 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,760 Speaker 1: exercise physiologist who can really just help tailor and exercise 829 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: and a weight bearing plan for you, because that is 830 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,800 Speaker 1: going to be your best bet with the good quality 831 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: nutrition to stop that progression onto osteoporosis as well. 832 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 4: I was going to say, before you come back and 833 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 4: tell us what K two is. 834 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 3: Part of a K two when you never mentioned that 835 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 3: one time in four years K two one for both. 836 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 3: But it's a good education, So going to hand over 837 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 3: to you because I can't even answer it. But I 838 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 3: do think it's worth really seeking out a exercise physiologist 839 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 3: or physio who specializes in bone health because there's a 840 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 3: lot of growing research about specific training modalities that can 841 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 3: help build tissue with strong evidence. So I think, don't 842 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 3: just think it's enough to go to a PT at 843 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 3: the local gym and get a strength program. You have 844 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,240 Speaker 3: to do that very specific resistance work on the bone 845 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 3: to help build it. And as I said, there's a 846 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 3: growing number of specialists who know a lot more about 847 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 3: that than I do. But certainly i'd be searching that, 848 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 3: and sometimes you can do an online session with those 849 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 3: people if they're not close to where you are, and 850 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 3: learn how to do the right exercises, so that I 851 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 3: would definitely be investing in that. If you've got osteopedia, 852 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 3: particularly if you're only uniar thirties or forties, it's really 853 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 3: really important. Was that. 854 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:44,760 Speaker 1: And the last thing I was just going to circle 855 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: back and say is I know that people don't want 856 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: to hear it, but our cool and smoking. Both of 857 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: these two things can actually significantly impair bone health as 858 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: well and may actually accelerate bone loss. So if you 859 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: are still smoking, it is the time to stop yesterday. 860 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: And if you do have more than the occasional drink 861 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 1: all that, you know, an alcoholic drink on a special occasion, 862 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,919 Speaker 1: it's certainly time to cut down as well. So both 863 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: of those two things from a lifestyle perspective can also. 864 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 4: Impact, as do acidic soft drinks too. 865 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 2: Interesting. 866 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, so did you say about the case? Yeah, you've 867 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 4: said it. 868 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, yeah, you're just carolling on your phone. You 869 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 2: didn't hear. 870 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 1: It, all right, Well, that exists to the end of 871 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,840 Speaker 1: nutrition couch Ford the other week.
