Kerry O’Bryan is an experienced Sports Dietitian, Strength and Conditioning Coach, and University Lecturer who is extremely passionate about performance health and longevity, specifically for men – developing adolescent, athlete, men’s health, through to men in their 70’s!   Currently working with Queensland Academy of Sport and Bond University, over the past 13 years Kerry has worked with many sporting teams and organisations (see below) within networks of highly skilled multi-disciplinary practitioners, with the unified goal of – Performance Health.    Performance health is a concept that advocates a person must first be “healthy” (mental/mood, metabolic & physical) to be able to perform at their best. Performance health is relevant for any person of any background and is certainly not limited to physical performance. While this may sound obvious, the reality is that today we face many social and environmental barriers/challenges that prevent us from achieving optimal health.   Nutrition and exercise play a critical role in supporting an individuals’ health, and our ability to perform at our best. Performance goals vary from person to person, and can be applicable to many areas of life, work, or sporting performance –   ·       Increased corporate mental performance ·       Favourable body composition change (e.g. sustainable weight loss, building or retaining muscle mass) ·       Recovery from injury or surgery ·       Ageing better ·       Improved sexual function / hormonal health ·       Optimal growth & development for adolescent ·       Peak athletic performance   “Doesn’t matter whether you’re an athlete or bloke over 60 – I apply the same process of elite support using the best tools available. There is so much more we can do to monitor and improve our metabolic health and performance, in a space that has become very noisy with mixed messages, failed efforts and false hope.” With the right system that combines expert knowledge, tools, skills, and planning, you can be confident that you are putting your valuable time, energy and focus into the best approach to health and longevity that moves you toward achieving your goals.

HI, I’M VERA DAHLSTROM I love to help people improve their health. I completed my Naturopathic studies in 2000 and for the last 22 yrs I have been a practising naturopath with some time off to have two healthy babies, who are now healthy teenagers. I am happy to help all ages and conditions. My special interest areas include: 1. healthy ageing (especially as that is where I’m heading myself!) 2. women’s hormonal disorders (such as Endometriosis, Polycystic ovarian syndrome, Painful periods, Pre-mentrual syndrome and Fibroids) 3. Menopause My mother turned her health around through diet with the popular Pritikin program in the 1980’s (a lot has changed since then!). I still remember eating cracked buckwheat for breakfast and feeling like it was the end of everything! But what I remember most is my mother’s chronic migraines going away and her losing weight and looking great. I was sold on the power of nutrition. Herbal Medicine also became a passion when I took up naturopathic studies. Herbs are nature’s medicine and endlessly fascinating. Vera is a member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (Member No. 14373). Her qualifications include: Advanced Diploma of Health Science (Naturopathy), Diploma of Health Science (Herbal Medicine), Graduate Certificate in Human Nutrition, and many, many years ago: Bachelor of Economics.
