I’ve booked my flights and packed my bags (at least in my mind!) already.  The annual Science of Nutrition in Medicine Conference is on 2-3rd May in Melbourne & there’s one name on the bill that alone I would be attending for – Dr Robert Loblay.  He’s the head of the Immunology unit at RPAH  which specialises in the management & treatment of every possible type of food & chemical reaction (including all the ones the average medico would suggest are impossible/unreal or psychosomatic). By the way he also a strong interest in bioethics so this makes for a great combination in this field. He helped put together the RPAH diet and book ‘Friendly Foods’, which is such a great clinical resource for patients with food intolerances.

The way I approach food reactions in clinic has been heavily influenced by his work and because the RPAH unit is working everyday with some of the most severe, complex and unusual reactions, when he talks I listen!

There’s a bunch of other great speakers on the program including Jerome Sarris and Felice Jacka (don’t know who they are ?  Check out my previous post https://rachelarthur.com.au/jacka-jerome-naturopathic-trailblazers/ .)

Apparently the Early Bird Closes tomorrow (28th Feb)!!  Check it out here https://nutritionmedicine.org.au/program and hope to see you there  🙂
