I’m in the hot seat on the Purposeful Lifestyle podcast by Debbie Wullschleger, Bariatric Coach, WLS Patient and Founder of Bariatric Consultancy.
Debbie and I discussed the importance of supplements after WLS, hearing about my personal development and taking you on the journey of how BN Multi all began.
Listen to how it all unravels! Bariatric Patient and why a specific Multivitamin is a lifelong commitment not only to improve the chance of conception, but for overall health and prevention of complications linked to malnutrition after WLS. Don’t miss this one!
Weight loss is a popular topic, with many methods available to help people achieve their desired weight. However, Weight Loss Surgery still carries a stigma, causing many to avoid it due to fear of judgment and misconceptions.
When patients seek weight loss surgery advice, long-term aftercare is often overlooked. This creates problems affecting the physical and mental health of the patient, including their relationships.
For many people, social media is a significant part of life. While it may seem like something that doesn’t carry too much weight in the world, it most certainly does in our day and age.
When patients come to see General Practitioners for support and care for their weight management, yet, all they feel is stigma and discrimination.
Jacqui Lewis Clinical Nutritionist
I have a Bachelor of Health Science degree in Nutritional and Dietetic Medicine and I put much of my time into education to support patients along the WLS journey, with a range of personal stories positioned to inspire people who are feeling lost or stuck. The idea is to expose the resilience, persistence, and commitment that is required over the long term.
I have been a part of the WLS community for more than 8 years now, being the co-founder BN Healthy Australia. In a previous life – I studied and practiced Health and Nutrition, Personal Fitness Training, and Remedial and Sports Massage Therapy for more than 20 years.
My passion is supporting others to see their potential, as well as being a stickler for making sure every fact is revealed for others to learn and implement easily!
