Catherine's columns and talks

 

New Idea magazine

I write a page each issue entitled Healthy Bites where I discuss a food or ingredient in detail OR suggest ways to cope with modern-day nutrition problems such as finding healthy snack for kids for school or how to cope when your teenager decides to eat vegetarian (and the rest of you eat meat) OR easy ways for women to get more iron. The New Idea food team work with me to create a delicious easy recipe - one that any busy woman will tear out to keep and cook later.  It's good fun!

 

Healthy Food Guide magazine

As a regular contributor to Healthy Food Guide magazine, I get to write interesting features, answer reader's questions (and believe me some take a lot of pondering and cross-checking) and debunk those ever-present quirky food myths. Like help for hangovers, or food combining, no carbs after 6pm, microwaving kills nutrition. Healthy Food Guide works to make healthy eating easy for you. You'll find heaps of quick easy good-for-you recipes and useful downloads on their website at www.healthyfoodguide.com.au

 

GI News Blogspot

This site is all about the Glycaemic Index (GI) and things to do with carbs, sugar, diabetes and weight. It's one of the best newsletters around with a huge following worldwide. And for good reason! It's so readable and tackles the key issues and new research we all  wonder about. I write a regular feature on a super food or a food ingredient that's in the news such as pomegranate, stevia, ginger, lupins, chia seeds cranberries, goji. You get the drift. http://ginews.blogspot.com

 

The Jean Hailes Foundation for Women's Health

The Jean Hailes Foundation for Women's Health does incredible work. It's a not-for-profit organisation providing health services for women of all ages. Women need special attention and it's wonderful that there's somewhere reliable for us to access information on things such as breast cancer, osteoporosis, pap smears, ageing, menopause, endometriosis and sexual health. I love writing articles, meal plans and answers to those curly questions for this wide-ranging site which is dedicated to helping women improve their health and well-being.

Websites: their main one is www.jeanhailes.org.au or go to www.healthforwomen.org.au for nutrition and general health matters.

ahm Health Insurance

Looking after your health is pretty important to me so it makes sense to work in with one of Australia's best health insurance providers ahm. You can access my monthly articles on key food topics at their attractive easy-to-search website. I've covered eating breakfast, salt, how much sugar you should eat, eating for women, trans fats, snacks and snacking, light and easy Christmas eating, goal setting and lots more. Click here for a direct link to my articles or go to the home page at www.ahm.com.au.

Recharge Lounge

Busy people on the go need somewhere to go to find ways to rest, slow down and recharge their batteries - for another day at the coalface. And there's nowhere better to drop in than the Recharge Lounge run by health and performance guru Andrew May. I contribute articles on eating for energy, caffeine, eating slow, healthy snacks at work and eating on the run e.g. dashboard dining!  www.rechargelounge.com.au
