In this episode of Nutrition Science Bites, Professor Clare Collins interviews Professor Tracy Burrows, a cancer survivor and expert in nutrition and dietetics, in honor of World Cancer Day. They discuss the importance of nutrition in cancer treatment and survivorship, emphasizing the unique challenges faced by individuals undergoing treatment. Tracy shares her personal experiences with chemotherapy and how nutrition has played a crucial role in managing side effects and maintaining a sense of control during her journey. The conversation highlights the significance of person-centered care and the need for tailored nutrition advice for cancer patients. Tracy introduces an empowering acronym, "CLAWBACK," which stands for Check-in regularly, Lunchbox Ready, Activity, Water, Best Time of Day, Anything is Better than Nothing, Coffee to Count and Kick in Protein. Each component offers practical strategies for cancer survivors and carers to take charge of their personal nutrition and well-being. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to participate in a survey aimed at improving personalized nutrition resources for cancer patients, reinforcing the message that everyone’s experience is unique and deserves attention.

In line with a key update from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), this episode explores all things vitamin B6. Prof Clare Collins and Ilyse Jones discuss the serious issue of vitamin B6 toxicity, and emphasise the importance of reading labels carefully, as many supplements contain hidden ingredients that can lead to health complications. The conversation also explores the growing trend of supplement use, why professional guidance is essential, and why a diet rich in whole foods is the safest way to meet your nutritional needs. The TGA has announced stronger safety controls for products containing vitamin B6, where products containing 50mg or more will (from 1 June 2027) require advice from a pharmacist or a prescription from a doctor to be available for sale - to reduce the risk of nerve damage from long-term high-dose use. You can read the full update here: https://www.tga.gov.au/news/media-releases/stronger-safety-controls-be-introduced-products-containing-vitamin-b6 Consumers should always check labels for vitamin B6 (also called pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, or pyridoxal) and seek medical advice if experiencing symptoms like tingling, burning, or numbness in hands or feet. Foods rich in magnesium: Nuts, wholegrains, legumes (like lentils), dark green vegetables, avocado Foods rich in Vitamin B6: Meat, chicken, peanuts, tofu and soy products, oats and some fortified breakfast cereals, bananas, watermelon and milk.  Are you in a position to make a small donation to support No Money No Time? Donate here Hosted on Acast.

In this Nutrition Science Bites episode Prof Clare Collins discuss non-coeliac gluten sensitivity with A/Prof Jessica Biesiekierski. They talk about gluten, what it is and where it's found, differences between gluten sensitivity and coeliac disease, and how a sensitivity is diagnosed. The conversation explores the gut-brain connection, highlighting how stress can affect your gut and alter perceptions of normal digestive processes. They talk about a group of complex carbohydrates called FODMAPs, or fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharide and polyols that can cause gut disruption and digestive health problems for some people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or even Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). They discuss nutritional implications of going gluten free, or not and what people can do to try and improve their nutrition related health and wellbeing. They encourage people experiencing health anxiety to discuss it with their doctor and mention the online programs addressing it from THis Way Up. Lastly, they mention the research A/Prof Jess is doing, including an online study open to eligible people living anywhere in Australia or the USA with IBD . Links are added in the show notes.

In this #NutritionScienceBites episode I talk with Ilyse Jones about whether 'acid' food is a thing - or not! We covers what a pH level is, what acidity and alkalinity are in relation to foods, plus how the body metabolises food and makes pH adjustments so that blood pH is regulated within a very narrow range. We discuss Potential Renal Acid Load (PRAL), a score that estimates the amount of acid a food produces within the body after digestion and in response to filtering processes in the kidneys. While food pH may not impact your health or blood pH, the body's regulatory mechanisms are crucial for maintaining optimal pH levels and kidney health and overall health and wellbeing. Key takeaways 1. The pH of food is not crucial for health. 2. Blood pH is tightly regulated between 7.3 to 7.45. 3. The body has mechanisms to regulate and maintain pH levels. 4. Extreme pH changes can be life-threatening. 5. The impact of food choices on pH is often overstated. 6. Understanding kidney pH can help in making informed dietary choices. 7. Health is more about balance than specific pH levels.
