Food allergies are on the rise, but there are some things you can do to try and reduce the risk of them developing in your kids. From eating a variety of food during pregnancy - yes including nuts if you're not allergic yourself - to avoiding food-based skin products like almond oil on your infant. And it's so important that you introduce a range of foods, bit by bit, when your bub starts eating solids. Dr Nelu Simonsz (pediatrician and mother of 3) joins Dr Preeya to share a pile of practical golden nuggets when it comes to preventing food allergies, along with how to manage them (and the stress) if they do develop. All those FAQs on “do we need a skin prick test?” “is this red skin around the mouth a food allergy reaction?” answered with plenty of singing and giggles on the way. The discussions in this podcast are general in nature and do not replace the need for you to see a qualified health professional for any concerns you may have.  Guest:  Dr Nelu Simonsz - paediatrician Useful Links: Nip Allergies in the Bub ⁠https://preventallergies.org.au⁠  Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) “How to Introduce Solid Foods to Babies for Allergy Prevention” ⁠https://www.allergy.org.au/⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@doctor.preeya.alexander⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@dr_nelu_simonsz⁠ Books: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Eat, Sleep, Play, Love⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ by Dr Preeya Alexander⁠ Preeya's new book ⁠⁠⁠Full Plate⁠⁠⁠ is out now!

Dr. Naveen Somia, joined me ahead of the Non Surgical Symposium (NSS) 2023 on the Gold Coast, Australia.  Based in Sydney, Dr. Somia is a highly regarded specialist plastic surgeon and as a past president of the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), he has been at the forefront of the industry for nearly two decades. Dr. Somia's commitment to both his patients' aesthetic goals and his role as an educational leader in the field has made him a trusted authority. He has served as the Scientific Convenor for the ASAPS NSS meeting for the past five years, solidifying his expertise and dedication. He is an advocate for patient focussed and safe framework to approach facial aesthetics. In this important episode, we dive into the changes in law that came into effect on July 1, 2023, in the realm of cosmetic surgery and aesthetic enhancement. Dr. Somia sheds light on the new guidelines introduced by AHPRA, which aim to protect consumers and ensure informed decision-making when it comes to choosing practitioners and treatment plans. These updates encompass marketing, psychological assessment, and procedural guidelines, and are part of a comprehensive cosmetic surgery reform package that raises standards and imposes stricter advertising requirements. We also explore the exciting global trend of regenerative superclinics—a revolutionary concept that brings together experts from various disciplines to address longevity, aesthetics, and cosmetic enhancement all under one roof. Dr. Somia provides valuable insights into this emerging trend and its potential to shape the future of aesthetic medicine. Dr. Somia's journey in the field of plastic surgery is equally impressive. Having completed his training in Sydney and Melbourne, he pursued further specialisation in cosmetic surgery of the eyelids, face, and breast at Paces Plastic Surgery, affiliated with Emory University in Atlanta, USA. I invite you to unlock the secrets of longevity, wellness, and new beauty with Dr. Naveen Somia exclusively on the Ageless by Rescu podcast.

Autism spectrum disorders once affected 1 in 2000 individuals, now touches the lives of 1 in 50. This remarkable change underscores the urgency to understand this complex neurodevelopmental disorder and the ways it intertwines with the universal journey of parenting.In this episode we explore the world of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and delve into the broader landscape of parent-child interactions, their profound impact on brain development. Joining us is the esteemed Professor Andrew Whitehouse, who guides us through the intricate science of ASD and the delicate ways that parent-child connections shape the mind, especially in children with autism. He also delves into the essential truth that parenting is not merely an instinctive act but a skill that must be learned, nurtured, and refined. His wisdom extends beyond autism, offering valuable lessons and practical guidance for all parents. Professor Whitehouse emphasizes the importance of time, space, and attention in the parenting process. He shares insightful strategies for creating a nurturing environment, fostering positive interactions, and enhancing both cognitive and emotional development. His wisdom extends beyond autism, offering valuable lessons and practical guidance for all parents, regardless of their child's neurodevelopmental status.We explore how dedicating time to understand a child's unique needs, creating space for growth and exploration, and paying attention to the subtle cues of development can unlock the doors to thriving minds.This inspiring episode is a journey through the science of connection, love, and the incredible potential of the human brain. Whether you are a parent, caregiver, educator, or simply interested in the transformative power of relationships, tune in to discover how to cultivate the art of parenting and shape the minds of the next generation.Professor Andrew Whitehouse is the Angela Wright Bennett Professor of Autism Research at the Telethon Kids Institute and Professor of Autism Research at The University of Western Australia.

Dr. Naveen Somia, joined me ahead of the Non Surgical Symposium (NSS) 2023 on the Gold Coast, Australia.  Based in Sydney, Dr. Somia is a highly regarded specialist plastic surgeon and as a past president of the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), he has been at the forefront of the industry for nearly two decades. Dr. Somia's commitment to both his patients' aesthetic goals and his role as an educational leader in the field has made him a trusted authority. He has served as the Scientific Convenor for the ASAPS NSS meeting for the past five years, solidifying his expertise and dedication. He is an advocate for patient focussed and safe framework to approach facial aesthetics. In this important episode, we dive into the changes in law that came into effect on July 1, 2023, in the realm of cosmetic surgery and aesthetic enhancement. Dr. Somia sheds light on the new guidelines introduced by AHPRA, which aim to protect consumers and ensure informed decision-making when it comes to choosing practitioners and treatment plans. These updates encompass marketing, psychological assessment, and procedural guidelines, and are part of a comprehensive cosmetic surgery reform package that raises standards and imposes stricter advertising requirements. We also explore the exciting global trend of regenerative superclinics—a revolutionary concept that brings together experts from various disciplines to address longevity, aesthetics, and cosmetic enhancement all under one roof. Dr. Somia provides valuable insights into this emerging trend and its potential to shape the future of aesthetic medicine. Dr. Somia's journey in the field of plastic surgery is equally impressive. Having completed his training in Sydney and Melbourne, he pursued further specialisation in cosmetic surgery of the eyelids, face, and breast at Paces Plastic Surgery, affiliated with Emory University in Atlanta, USA.

In a post-pandemic world, the importance of healthy immunity has never been more top of mind. In Australia, Primary immunodeficiency disorders are a diverse group of more than 400 potentially serious, chronic illnesses that can lead to frequent or severe infections, swellings and autoimmune problems. Genetic testing and early detection can have a profound impact on life span, healthspan and treatment protocols of allergies and autoimmune disorders which also impact how we age. The Australasian Society for Clinical Allergy and Immunology (ASCIA), have identified the importance of early diagnosis for all primary immunodeficiencies and newborn screening.  In this episode, I spoke to Dr Melanie Wong, a Past President of the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA), co-head of the Immunology and Allergy Dept at the Children's Hospital at Westmead on how immunity can be tested and what we can do to enhance our own immunology, treatment of allergies and enhancement of wellness.  We discussed the role of gut health, the negative impact of inflammation and the key role of food and lifestyle changes to positively enhance life and health span.  Listen to the full podcast here: https://omny.fm/shows/ageless-by-rescu/dr-melanie-wong-mbbs-hons-phd-fracp-frcpa-understaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
