December 02, 2021 Nutrition and Sleep
In Episode 5 of the Nutrition Nibble Podcast, we talk all things nutrition and sleep.
We know that what we eat and drink impacts our energy, and so it follows that our nutritional intake can influence the quality and duration of our sleep. Equally, the quality and quantity of our sleep effects our dietary habits and behaviour.
Ella, Jess, and Heidi talk to Lisa about the relationship between nutrition and sleep, what nutrients can help with getting a good night’s sleep, what foods are best to avoid, and how soon before going to bed we should consider having our last meal for the day.
If you’d like to learn more about some of the topics we covered today, Lisa has shared links to other resources and fact sheets to help you on your way to healthy eating that’s right for you – and getting a good night’s sleep!

November 25, 2021 Food Myths + Misinformation
In Episode 4 of the Nutrition Nibble Podcast, we share our conversation with Lisa on some common food myths and sources of misinformation in relation to nutrition and healthy eating.
Nutrition is complex, and often oversimplified in the media – and particularly social media. Food myths and misinformation are pervasive and can influence the way we think and feel about food, nutrition, cooking, and eating.
Lisa highlights some of the most common food myths, cautioning us to be careful of what we are reading, where its coming from, and who the target audience is intended to be. What might be credible and evidence-based nutritional advice for a 20-something male, will not be relevant to a teenage girl.
Lisa tackles the big question on carbohydrates and sugar, noting the obvious - they are not one and the same thing.
Finally, Lisa touches on how to know if the nutritional information you are reading is credible or not.

Finally, Lisa touches on the research that has been looking at the role food has on our mood and thought processes for positive mental health.
