Optimal Intake

Optimal Intake Welcome to Optimal Intake. This page is all about FOOD and debunking some of those crazy myths we hear about what we should and shouldn't eat.

Dr Nikki Cummings offers more than 20 years of clinical dietetic experience. She focuses on improving health through building greater nutrition knowledge (and debunking some crazy diet ideas along the way) and also helping to build eating competency by considering how and why we eat.

🎙️ Nikki Cummings & Carly Shott: Eating Disorders & Our Relationship with Food.
Nikki and Carly dive into the complexities of eating disorders, the impact of diet culture, and our often-challenging relationship with food. With over 25 years’ experience as a dietitian, Nikki is the sports dietitian for the Australian artistic swimming team and a food therapist specialising in eating disorders. She shares her journey from sports dietetics to supporting clients in better understanding their relationship with food. Carly, a state gymnastics coach and member of the Australian gymnastics squad, has benefited from Nikki’s expertise and brings her own lived experience of recovery, along with the challenges of breaking long-ingrained habits. Together, they explore societal pressures, the role of parents, and the implications of weight-loss medications.
