This post is not for eveyone, it’s for the Speechies, Dietitians and those wanting a pathway to transition off their PEG back to oral eating (and beyond) - it is the system I created that enabled me to hike internationally from unfamiliar menus in foreign countries.

It’s how I did it and what I did to reduce the overwhelm of the process.

House Keeping: I have been having quite a few one on one SLP meetings and Podcast interviews of late.

It prompted this more “organised” process, aka - Book a call with me (see calendar link below) ☎️

Ever felt like you're doing all the right things clinically, but your dysphagia patients are still stuck in limbo between recommendations and reality?

You're not alone.

That gap, the one between clinical advice and actual eating is exactly why I created the Mind Food Body program.

It’s a clear, flexible, five-module framework to help your patients move from PEG tubes to oral eating safely, confidently, and realistically.

(And yes, caregivers love it too.)

In this week’s YouTube video, I break down:

* Why this program needed to exist

* How it blends clinical knowledge with lived experience

* How you can use it to bridge the gap between hospital discharge and actual mealtimes

Whether you’re a speechie, dietitian, or just tired of handing out plans that never stick, this might be the resource you've been looking for.

If cancer gave me anything it was a hot cup of tea and a good talking to.

I wanted to read stories from people who had a clue.

I wanted to get some sort of idea about what it was I was going through and what others had experienced.

I didn’t want to get unsolicited advice from a thousand people on social media about the dodgy looking ulcer on their tongue.

Not helpful, non of it.

…and so GAG.| eating life was born.

This is a documented life journal told in story format of my setbacks and comebacks after surviving head and neck cancer.

Now I am a writer and international hiker.

A story teller and still, after everything a foodie at heart.

May it provide the inspiration and clarity you need.

Eat Well.

Wow survivorship. The second battle - I didn’t see it coming.

There are people who actually do their PhD’s in this so I’ll leave the details to them.

I guess the nuance of what I write is now based on “survivorship” and as I have documented my journey from day 1 - it’s becomes a useful resource, for not only me but those that unfortunately are coming up the rear of which there are many.

This next stage is where I need your help. Your thoughts, comments and ideas publicly written if possible, that way it doesn’t just become because “I said”.

You know what I mean, so if you can make a comment here on Substack, Linkedin, social media or even just send me an email - and being comfortable with me using your words in the public arena is all super helpful.

Please share this publication - it helps get the message out there …

Becoming a paid subscriber also super helpful. 😉
