Dietitian Connection Podcast

A healthy diet with a low environmental impact is the ultimate goal – but many of the common suggestions to achieve this are overly simplified. The current Australian evidence suggests there are two key areas for improving the sustainability of our food supply: production and reducing food waste both in and out of the home. In this podcast, we're joined by Dr Brad Ridoutt and Dr Gilly Hendrie to uncover the new research in the sustainability arena and explore the idea that eating healthily doesn't always equal eating sustainably. Brad and Gilly also identify practical ways dietitians can help their clients adapt their current eating habits to be healthier and less wasteful.

This podcast includes discussion of infant formula ingredients. Breastfeeding is best, and provides the ideal nutrition for babies. Good maternal nutrition is important for preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. Professional guidance can be sought on diet and the preparation for and maintenance of breastfeeding. A decision not to breastfeed, or to introduce partial bottle feeding, could reduce the supply of breast milk. Once reduced, it is difficult to re-establish. Infant formula should be prepared and used as directed. Unnecessary or improper use may present a health hazard. Social and financial implications, including the cost of providing formula until 12 months of age, should be considered when choosing how to feed infants.

The arena of sustainability is a complex one – and oversimplifying it by encouraging our clients to eat less animal foods and more plant foods is not the answer. Instead of nitpicking single foods or food groups, the most powerful ways our clients can eat more sustainably are by avoiding overconsumption and minimising food waste. In this podcast, Dr Joanna McMillan dives into new sustainability research that combines the environmental and nutritional qualities of different foods in the Australian diet into one score. Jo highlights that it is more than possible to have a sustainable, nutritious diet that incorporates foods from all food groups, so we can make real, meaningful inroads to better the health of our clients and the planet.
