Welcome to Discover Health
Discover Health’s dietitians have been working since 2004. Many of our dietitians have grown up and/or live in the local area (or are local to one of our other locations).
In 2010 they began practising under the Discover Health name and moved to their own premises. This helped to reduce waiting times associated with limited room availability at other premises. They were joined by a team of psychologists, massage and acupuncture practitioners and have since been joined by remedial massage and speech pathologists. This team of complementary health professionals works together to help you achieve your goals.
There is a lot of conflicting information out there regarding what you ‘should’ and ‘shouldn’t’ be eating, and bread often gets a bad rapt in the middle of it all!
As a dietitian, one of the more common questions I get asked is; ‘what bread is the healthiest?’ Or another common question is; ‘Should I even be eating bread?’
When life gets busy again, sometimes what we eat get’s pushed to the back of the brain, or time just gets away from us and before we realize the day is over and we forgot to eat our prepared lunch or snacks. Or maybe this busy time has limited your brainpower or ability to think up some fun snacks, so you are left with a lack of interest during the day to eat that overripe mushy banana that you forgot to eat last week.
Feeling tired, lethargic or out of breath on effort requiring tasks? Did you know that this could be because you aren’t getting enough iron from your diet?
It’s that time of year where the weather can be pretty cold and miserable, and bring along with it that runny nose and run down feeling.
Ensuring adequate nutrition and hydration is key to assist with the running of a healthy immune system, and can be just what you need to look at during this time of year to fight off that cold or flu.
June is here, it’s officially winter, and with the cold weather that comes along with it, what better time of year to get your slow cooker out and make some hearty, warming meals.
Don’t have a slow cooker? That’s absolutely fine, grab a casserole dish or a heavy, lidded pot and cook slowly in the oven on low for 4 hours or more.
Whether you are training once a day, a couple times a week, or doing two sessions in one day, recovery nutrition is important for all, however importance does depend on the type of training, the duration, along with your personal preferences and goals.
With all of these sunny, warm, November days, we remember Vitamin D; an important key nutrient to consider for your health, and the most amazing thing is that it is readily available and free for all!
It’s that time of year when a lot of our favourite summer fruits are coming back into season, and delicious mangos have already started making appearances in the shops.
Springtime is upon us, with the days getting longer and the temperature getting warmer, and what a time it is to be outside and enjoy a little sunshine with family and friends. Our BBQ has already begun to get some serious use! Finding some interesting ways to serve veg with a BBQ can ensure your meal is both balanced and delicious.
Did you know that lactose intolerance affects around 75% of the world’s population?
And perhaps now you are asking, what is lactose?
This is a great question! So let’s look into Lactose and Lactose intolerance, and also give you a run down on what this ‘Lactose-free milk’ is.
Rest/Self-care/ Stress relief/ Me-time, however you want to look at it or whatever you want to call it, finding some time for yourself is so important!
