If you have an egg…. You have a meal!

Eggs are one of the most powerful, bioavailable superfoods for cognitive performance because their yolks are packed with choline, a vital nutrient that helps build acetylcholine, the brain chemical responsible for memory, learning, and focus.

If you have the capacity, I would 10/10 recommend keeping your own chooks, they are a delight to watch scratch around the garden, and if you’re lucky they will provide you with daily eggs.

If purchasing eggs, I would recommend doing some research into how chooks are commercially kept and look for eggs from local markets or through businesses such as Milawa Organic Eggs or Mulloon Creek eggs that have pasture raised practices, letting their chooks forage naturally and live their best life!

Are you confused by the term “Nutritionist”?

You aren’t alone!

In Australia, the title “nutritionist” is completely unregulated. This means anyone can use it, from a weekend-course graduate to a public health researcher. However, a Certified Practising Nutritionist (CPN) is something entirely different.

A CPN is a tertiary-educated, degree-qualified primary healthcare professional who undergoes rigorous, face-to-face clinical training. They are not just nutrition scientists who look at broad population data or a health coach that writes meal plans. They are clinically trained to assess, monitor, and support individuals.

The CPN Difference:

Medical and Clinical Expertise: Unlike a standard nutritionist, a CPN is intensively trained in pathophysiology, pharmacology, nutritional biochemistry, independent clinical examination and complex case-taking. They can interpret your pathology tests and map a plan straight to your unique biochemistry.

Legally Recognised Prescribing Power: CPNs are recognised under Australian legislation via the Therapeutics Goods Act. This gives them the distinct authority to independently prescribe therapeutic-grade supplements for complex nutritional medicine and nutrient repletion. A standard nutritionist does not possess this legal prescribing capacity.

Root-Cause Medicine: They do not just hand you a generalised meal plan. A CPN works to remediate the underlying metabolic dysfunctions, such as inflammation or insulin resistance, that drive chronic health issues.

Bona Fide Healthcare Providers: They work independently or alongside Medical Doctors in multidisciplinary clinics. Because of their strict training standards with the Australasian Association and Register of Practising Nutritionists (AARPN), they are recognised by private health funds for insurance rebates.

When it comes to your health, it’s worth look for the qualification that guarantees clinical competence.
