Stress. Burnout. Depression. Anxiety. Your dietitian probably isn’t the first person you turn to when you’re battling mental health issues. You may have been surprised to see me at a mental health-themed wellness day. If you came to chat with me, though, you now know that what you eat is as important for your mental wellbeing as it is for your physical health.
Smoothies are a quick and easy meal-in-a glass that can be enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack. However, many smoothies are high in calories and may get in the way of your weight loss goals. Here's how to build a healthy, weight-loss friendly version that will fill you up without exceeding your daily calorie budget.
Do you feel tired and sluggish at the office, especially in the afternoon? Are you constantly late for meetings and making careless errors in important documents? If you feel under pressure to perform, but life is getting you down, you might want to examine your diet.
By far the question I am asked most often is “how can I eat healthy?” In the corporate health day environment, it’s not easy to give a complete answer, so I use the healthy plate to inform people how to eat nutritionally balanced meals to support wellbeing and maintain a healthy weight.
Diabetes affects millions of people worldwide. You've probably heard about it, maybe even know someone who has it. But did you know that what you eat is your secret weapon in managing this condition?

I always try to answer your questions as thoroughly as possible. But, sometimes we don't have enough time together. Other times, the noise and excitement from other activities makes it difficult to have a conversation.
To ensure you get the most from me, I have written these posts, covering some of the most common issues raised by employees who take the time to chat with me during their annual wellness day.
If you think I've missed something that would benefit yourself and others, please pop me an email and I'll create a new post.
Thank you, Wendy (Your Friendly Health Day Dietitian)
