Erica Manser - Clinical Nutritionist BHSc NutMed

Have you checked out my Post Bariatric Surgery Ultimate Eating Guide? Link in bio
So many people feel lost after bariatric surgery when it comes to food.
This resource gives you a comprehensive view of foods and your body's requirements based on the type of surgery you have, ways to get your nutrients in, supplementation, and so much more.
A 4 week meal plan plus resources for Smoothies, fibre Guide, and how to add nutrients into your day.

No matter where you are in your journey, there is help, and you are not alone.
Even if you're thinking about surgery or you are 10 years down the track, I got you.

Regrettably, I've had to scale back my consulting hours due to my health.
You may not know that I have a few chronic conditions that challenge me daily. I've adapted my life to be able to function and practice, BUT having added health challenges in the last 2 months has meant I have had to open more time for extra testing and healing.
This is difficult for me because I love what I do, and looking after my clients gives me so much purpose.
Much love

Obviously, there are way more than 5 things we want you to know, but these sprang to mind after encountering too many BS creators on social media.

I've been working on expanding my Gut Health Plan to include a meal plan to take the pressure off finding recipes.
Mexican food is my fav when it comes to gut health, and these Chicken Quesadilla are not only delicious, they are very satiating and can be made in batches to have on hand in the freezer.

Are you experiencing unexplained gastrointestinal and ?
My client was fed up with getting no answers or help, so they invested their time and money to see me.
From initial consult to follow-up (2 consultations), they were no longer experiencing pain and bloating.
The approach I used was using , didn't order expensive testing, and opted not to restrict any foods.
I often start with very simple treatment plans like this to help my clients without putting huge financial strain on them and not asking them to drastically change their diet and lifestyle.

When it comes to GI issues such as pain & bloating, my top 3 tips are abdominal self massage, apply a heatpack, and drink tea that contains ginger, peppermint, or fennel.
If these don't work for you or you're experiencing ongoing issues, book a to get to the bottom of what is causing these symptoms.

Consults at Yoga Farm will be changing from Tuesday to Friday afternoons from 23rd February 2023.

Many of us find it hard to constantly come up with meals that everyone will like, and that contain a good variety of plant based foods.
If you struggle with this (as I do), I've got you.
Swipe through a few insta accounts that I love for inspiration when it comes to meal ideas.

Want to see how your gut is doing?
Take the gut health check on my website.
Link in second half of today's story.

We know from our own personal experience and the research that 'Diets' are not a sustainable method of weight loss.
Put simply, as a non-diet nutritionist, I break down diet culture beliefs (this can be difficult) and support clients to nourish their body using sustainable changes.
Want to see what this looks like?
Book a discovery call today.

We can be our worst enemies at times.
Through my studies and working with clients, I know just how vital downtime is for overall health.
So, today, I took a leaf out of my own book and did just that.
I'm so lucky to have this amazing space to practice from.

Back up and running, thankfully.
I shall not fiddle like that again. Thank you to those who reached out to help me.

Silly me fiddled with my website and now it's down.

Follow along if you want to get to know how you can improve your gut microbiome, which in turn improves your health.
You can also jump on a 15-minute discovery call with me and get yourself started on not only improving your gut health but feeling better mentally and physically.

Want to understand all the aspects involved and how each surgery affects you?

Hi 👋, if we haven't met before, I'm Erica.
I bring a unique spectrum to the Clinical Nutritionist role.
My own personal journey through chronic illness, weight struggles (including gastric bypass surgery), and perinatal loss, along with my nursing career, mean I have an understanding of where the 'health/medical system' needs attention.
🌱It starts with nutrition and the gut because, ultimately, our health is driven by biochemical & biomechanical pathways that are influenced by genetics and environment.
🌝1:1 Consultations are my way of getting to know you and your unique picture so that I can help you better your health.
If you don't know where to start or just want to get a picture of how I work, book a free discovery call.
My jam is: 🔊
All things women's health, including the menopause transition.
Bariatric surgery nutrition.
Realistic weight management.
Chronic illness, including mast cell disorders & hypermobility.
Mental health, including Autism & ADHD.
Gut health.
& my philosophy is around nourishing the body and mind, with addition, not restriction.
