Topics for Simone Austin

Eat like an athlete
Athletes use nutrition as a tool to maximise performance, and with Eat Like an Athlete we can too. This presentation cuts through the nutrition noise and makes healthy eating practical for all, boosting your performance and energy through nutrition.
The audience will leave with strategies to improve their own diet and achieve goals. It is a positive nutrition message about fueling your body, not depriving it.
Women in nutrition
We are flooded with nutrition information from so called experts and bombarded with advertising. Too many women are confused about what to eat and how to nourish their body for health and wellbeing. This presentation makes it simple, practical and empowering, focusing on health and wellbeing, not dieting. Make peace with food.
Mood and food - Mental health
We now have science to show that what we eat affects out mood. About 45% of Australians will be affected by a mental illness at some time in their life. This presentation gives practical advice on what we can do to maximise our mental health and mood, through food.
Nutrition in the workplace
We spend many of our waking hours at work, eating anywhere between 1-3 meals and some snacks. What you eat at work will have impact on your health or in this climate what you eat whilst working from home may influence your productivity and health. How can we make the workplace ‘nutrition’ elite? Practical tips for yourself and the workplace to use nutrition to maximise performance at work.
Intersection between wholefood and quick food
We are time poor and want to be health rich. How do we bring the two together? How to make nourishing ‘fast food’ prepared yourself for the whole family. How do we know what to buy, read the labels and make it happen?
Gut health
One of the biggest nutrition topics. Gut health is a driver of whole body health. What can we eat to maximise gut health and what to avoid to minimise damage. From mood, heart health, metabolism and more the gut plays a role.
Healthy cooking demo
In person or online join Simone to cook along or watch her whip up a quick meal or snack. Tips on what to keep stocked in your fridge and pantry and how to put together a balanced meal easily at the end of a long day. Nutrition tips to share along the way.
Master of Ceremonies
Simone is a skilled and informed MC who can facilitate and run a range of events.
