Diving Into Diet and Nutrition

In this episode of Now and the Future Podcast, we will be exploring the importance of nutrition for those who experience co-occurring health conditions or allergies.

The role and importance of nutrition will look different across the lifespan; from those difficulties with establishing newborn feeding through to the impact of conditions in adulthood such as diabetes or thyroid concerns, it is vital to ensure that any person with Down syndrome has their nutrition needs reviewed regularly. 

We’ll be chatting with Matt Hart, Accredited Practicing Dietitian and Sports Dietitian, and founder of Hart Nutrition; and DSQ’s Community Engagement Officer, Gillian Gehrke, around her lived experience of the way in which Mosaic Down syndrome has impacted her in this area.

If you’re interested in connecting with Matt following this episode, feel free to contact him on 0400 961 870 or via email matt@hartnutrition.com.au
