This episode is packed with evidence-based advice delivered in a compassionate, practical way—helping women feel more confident and less confused about food.
In part 2 with Associate Professor Shelley Wilkinson, women’s health dietitian and clinician-researcher, we have a practical, down-to-earth conversation all about getting the foundations of nutrition right.
Think of this as Nutrition 101 for women—cutting through the confusion, fad diets, and overwhelming online advice to focus on the basics that truly matter for health, energy, hormones, and longevity.
Shelley breaks down simple, realistic strategies to help women nourish their bodies through every stage of life. We explore what balanced eating actually looks like, why fibre and protein matter, and how small, sustainable habits can make a big difference over time.
We also chat about the importance of getting your basics right first—like eating your 5 serves of veg, because you can’t outrun a bad diet and you can’t outsupplement one either.
Because healthy ageing isn’t about restriction or perfection. As Shelley’s mantra goes, “Don’t just get older, grow bolder”.
