Leading Australian chef and restaurateur Luke Mangan has cooked in some interesting places over the course of his decades-long career, but it wasn't until recently that he could add 'hospitals' to that list. While it has been a learning curve, Luke says that it really isn't any different to the way in which he has always approached cooking – pick fresh produce, cook it simply and serve it well. Sally McCray, Director of Dietetics and Foodservices at Mater Group in Brisbane has had plenty of experience working in kitchens and in hospitals, and saw an opportunity for the two professions to come together and deliver an Australian-first room service restaurant-style menu in a hospital. In this podcast, DC's Maree Ferguson chats to Luke and Sally about the drivers and barriers associated with such an ambitious goal, how they have developed delicious menus that meet dietary requirements and why they are planning a kitchen garden on the hospital roof!

Chris Brady was a fit, healthy, hard-working exercise physiologist until five months ago when his life changed drastically within a five-day period. Chris was diagnosed with tongue cancer in a dentist appointment, and quickly went from being a clinician to a patient. In this podcast, Chris explains how the dietitians in his treatment team were far more than just a resource to help him with his food intake. We're also joined by his dietitian, Teresa Brown who touches on her experience working with oncology patients and highlights the pivotal role of dietitians throughout all stages of the cancer process.

Lina Breik is a dietitian with a decade of dietetic experience under her belt. Most of her career has been spent in the Intensive Care Unit, but more recently, she's taken a step out of clinical work and into the world of management. Both of these experiences have given Lina great insight into the impact of malnutrition not only on patients themselves, but the entire hospital system. In this podcast, Lina chats about managing malnutrition in settings from the ICU to the community, and the ramifications of patients coming out of the ICU malnourished. Lina also touches on strategies dietitians can employ to reduce malnutrition in the hospital setting and provides advice for getting the malnutrition message heard.

As dietitians, we are often not trained in the psychology of weight loss and therefore often only treat part of the puzzle. Unlike other disease-states, so much psychology is wrapped up in a weight loss journey and if clients are not seeing a psychologist, dietitians can play an essential role in this area. In this podcast, psychologist Glenn Mackintosh joins DC's Jane Winter to talk about how we can better incorporate these essential conversations into our practice to ensure our clients are set-up for long term success. From identifying if a client is truly ready to embark on a weight loss journey to helping them zoom out from the scales and set realistic, holistic goals. We also touch on the defence mechanism that is emotional eating, how to make your clients aware of it, and why it's important that clients do a social media spring clean to improve their relationship with their own body.

Creating and maintaining great relationships is one of the best parts of the human experience, both personally and professionally – and that's exactly why mentoring should be on everybody's radar. Whether you're a mentor or a mentee, mentoring can foster special relationships that lead to growth, development and empowerment. In this podcast, we chat to Julie Meyer, founder of Eat Well Global, about the key role mentoring has played in her career, how she believes she could have gotten further much faster if she tapped into the power of mentoring sooner and her experiences on both sides of the mentoring fence.
