Nutrition Science Bites with Professor Clare Collins AO

In this episode, Prof Clare talks with Dr. Sally Griffin about her innovative research on use of Very Low Energy Diets (VLEDs) and Very Low Calorie Diets (VLCDs) as preoperative tools to improve surgical outcomes, especially in abdominal and bowel cancer surgeries. She explains how these diets can reduce liver size, lower surgical risks, and enhance recovery, challenging the traditional use of 'fasting' diets.

Key Points
Use of VLED and VLCD before surgery
Impact on liver size and surgical field
Blood sugar and blood pressure improvements
Research evidence supporting diet interventions
Practical guidance for implementing pre-surgical diets

Research Trial recruiting patients from greater Brisbane across Logan, Princess Alexandra and Queen Elizabeth II hospitals, for a research study on colorectal (bowel) cancer.

In this episode, Prof Clare Collins discusses the latest medications for obesity, their side effects, and the importance of nutritional support, with Ilyse Jones. She explains how GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy) and tizepatide (Mounjaro and Zepbound) work, their health benefits beyond weight loss, and the importance of avoiding nutrient deficiencies, including protein, vitamins and mineral. They discuss the critical role of dietitians in managing side effects and helping prevent development micronutrient deficiencies so they people using these medications can get the full improvement in nutrition related health and wellbeing.

Key Takeaways
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tizepatide target appetite hormones and can be prescribed for type 2 diabetes and obesity
These medications have evolved from daily injections to weekly injections, improving acceptability
Side effects such as nausea, reflux, and micronutrient deficiencies need careful management using nutrition support
Obesity is now recognized as a chronic medical condition requiring long-term medical treatment, like high blood pressure and diabetes do
Support from dietitians and other health professionals is essential for optimizing health outcomes when using these medications

We have created a list of nutrient deficiencies that people taking GLP-1s are at greater risk of, the foods you can find them in, and some No Money No Time recipe inspo to help boost nutrient intakes.

In this episode of Nutrition Science Bites, Prof Clare Collins speaks with Dr Kim Faulkner-Hogg from Coeliac Australia, about coeliac disease, an autoimmune condition that is increasing in prevalence. They cover genetic factors, the role of gluten, and dietary considerations for those affected, including whether or not oats are gluten free. They discuss the importance of a thorough diagnosis, the implications of a life-long gluten-free diet, and the need for professional guidance in managing coeliac disease and ensuring nutritional adequacy of a gluten free diet and that people meet their nutrient requirements. The conversation also covers the relationship between coeliac disease and other conditions, such as Type 1 diabetes, and the health risks associated with exposure to gluten for people with coeliac disease.

Key Takeaways
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by eating gluten.
80% of people with coeliac disease remain undiagnosed.
Coeliac disease is often referred to as the 'chameleon disease' due to its varied symptoms.
The prevalence of coeliac disease has increased significantly since the 1950s.
Genetic factors play a crucial role in the development of coeliac disease.
Oats can be problematic for some individuals with coeliac disease due to presence of avenin protein that can cross-react with gluten.
Long-term damage from undiagnosed celiac disease can lead to serious health issues, including osteoporosis and infertility.
Type 1 diabetes is more common among those with coeliac disease compared to type 2 diabetes.
Gluten-free labeling laws ensure that products labeled as gluten-free are safe for consumption.
Consulting with healthcare professionals is essential for managing coeliac disease effectively.
