Easter is one of those weekends where food takes centre stage. Hot cross buns for breakfast, chocolate eggs scattered around the house, a big family lunch on Sunday. It is a time for slowing down, spending time with the people you love, and yes, enjoying some treats.

Throughout our lives, our bones are constantly being remodelled. This process is regulated by two types of cells: osteoblasts, which build new bone, and osteoclasts, which break down old bone. In healthy individuals, there is a balance between these two processes. However, with ageing, hormonal changes - particularly reduced estrogen levels after menopause - and factors such as low calcium intake, vitamin D deficiency, and physical inactivity, this balance can shift. When bone breakdown exceeds bone formation, bone density declines and the risk of osteoporosis increases.

Big feelings are a completely normal part of growing up. Children experience emotions just as intensely as adults do, but they do not yet have the tools or brain development to manage those feelings on their own. The prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for reasoning, impulse control and emotional regulation, is not fully developed until our mid-twenties. So when your five-year-old loses it because their sandwich was cut into triangles instead of squares, their reaction is not defiance or manipulation. It is a brain that is still learning how to cope.

For some people, eating is not just a routine part of the day —bit can feel overwhelming, stressful, or even frightening. This is often the reality for individuals living with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), a lesser-known eating disorder that can have a significant impact on nutrition, growth, and overall wellbeing.

Most programs do not fail because people are lazy or unmotivated. They fail because they are not built around real life. At PACE, we take a different approach. Before we talk about exercises, sets or reps, we start with one simple question. Where are you trying to go?

For people who have diabetes—or almost any other disease, for that matter—the benefits of exercise can't be overstated.

According to research, the average weight gain over the holiday period is around 0.5 kg. Not ideal, but not extreme either. The real concern is that this small increase most often isn’t lost afterward — it tends to compound year after year, contributing to that gradual “scale creep” over time.

As we step into 2026, it’s a great opportunity to pause, reflect, and intentionally shape the year ahead. At PACE, we take a biopsychosocial approach to health — meaning we consider not just your physiology, but also your lifestyle, stress, relationships, and environment.

The festive season is a time for joy, connection, and celebration. But between Christmas parties, school holidays, family gatherings, and endless plates of food, it’s easy for health and exercise routines to take a back seat.

When children are learning to communicate, every milestone — from their first words to telling stories — feels exciting. But not every child’s journey follows the same timeline. Some need a little extra support, and that’s where paediatric speech pathology comes in.

Nutrition can be overwhelming. Every week there’s a new diet trend, “superfood,” or headline telling you what you should and shouldn’t eat. But good nutrition doesn’t need to be complicated.

When you think of exercise, it’s easy to picture sweaty gym sessions, pounding pavements, or high-intensity classes. But at its core, exercise is about so much more than physical appearance. It’s one of the most effective and scientifically proven tools we have to improve not just our fitness, but our overall quality of life.

When it comes to staying active, many of us start with solo workouts—running alone, lifting weights, or following an app at home. But if you’ve ever felt your motivation dip or your routine stall, it might be time to consider the power of group exercise.

Occupational therapy is all about helping children do the things they need and want to do. For kids, this means supporting their ability to participate in everyday activities—like getting dressed, using cutlery, coping with emotions, or paying attention in class.

At Pace Health Management, we believe in the transformative power of movement—not just for physical health, but for cognitive vitality as well. Recent research from the University of South Australia (UniSA) underscores this belief, revealing that engaging in any form of exercise can significantly enhance brain function and memory across all age groups.

Encouraging a loved one to get moving is not just about urging them to exercise more; it’s about fostering a healthier lifestyle and creating positive habits that will benefit their overall well-being.

Arthritis is a condition that affects millions of Australians, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints. It can significantly impact your quality of life, making everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or even opening jars more difficult.

Finding time to stay active can be tough, especially with busy schedules filled with work, family, and other commitments. But the good news is, even if you're cramming most of your physical activity into one or two days a week, it can still provide significant health benefits.

At the start of every new year, millions of people set resolutions, with the goal of making big changes, particularly around health.
