TNN 61: Speech Pathology & Tongue Ties

Special guest Val Gent from Let’s Eat Paediatric Speech Pathology joins me on the show today to talk about how speech pathology works and specifically discuss tongue ties and how this affects children.
Val decided to move into paediatric speech pathology when she was moved by a baby she encountered on her university practicum, and has been inspired to work with children in the area of food and feeding ever since.
A tongue tie is something babies can be born with, ranging from moderate to severe and can affect feeding, speech and development. It is such a big buzz word at the moment, which is why I wanted to get Val on to talk us through it!
Join us on this special episode to learn all about different tongue ties, how they can affect your baby and how you can address it.

TNN 60: Pregnancy Supplements

Nikki Warren from Naturobest joins me again for this episode, talking all things pregnancy supplements!
Therapeutic benefits of supplements, price points and quality are discussed, with the multitude of different brands out there, this is something to really keep in mind when shopping around.
The main problem with pregnancy supplements is that the people who design them have little to no clinic experience, so always best to seek the advice of your medical professional or naturopath when looking for a product for you.
Mel and Nikki will arm you with the tools to be able to look more knowledgeably at potential supplements on the market.
Supplementing with the wrong type of products can actually be more harmful than not, so definitely tune in to find out more!
Nikki’s vision with her supplement range is to provide comprehensive, all in one formulas that provide high levels of nutrients in one formulation for convenience and to provide value for money.  We place quality as our highest priority and ingredients are well-researched and very carefully chosen.

TNN 53: The Facts About Fat

This podcast is a continuation to The Sugar Sin (episode 49)…
All about FAT and how it does not make you fat!
How the reduction in the fat content in our foods has lead to our sugar addiction.
The brain is made of fat and it needs fat to function! We need fat to regulate our normal weight structure and we can rely on our inherent feedback loop to maintain our health.
The problems with fat aren’t with good quality fats, they’re with the poor quality fats that are in so many of processed foods.
The best thing you can do is look at a food product and ask yourself, where did this come from?
Please make an appointment with Mel for a more detailed consultation and nutrition plan to meet your needs.
Continue the conversation on Facebook and don’t forget to rate and review this show, we’d really appreciate it.
