As a practitioner\, researcher and educator\, Meredith shares insights on how our bodies\, as interconnected systems\, communicate through symptoms\, sensations\, emotions and health patterns. Drawing on neuroscience\, nutrition\, microbiome science\, functional medicine and the wisdom of Eastern medicine\, she helps people better understand the language of their body. Living well with Multiple sclerosis for over 25 years\, drug-free\, has profoundly shaped her understanding of wellbeing and the body’s innate capacity for healing. Drawing on both professional expertise and lived experience\, Meredith translates complex health science into practical\, engaging insights. Her work empowers people to recognise the connection between the gut\, brain and microbiome\, understand the body’s signals\, and make informed choices that support lasting health and vitality. Passionate about bridging ancient wisdom with modern science\, Meredith supports people in reconnecting with their body’s innate intelligence and creating well-being from the inside out. 								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									More about Spring Health > 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n																														\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									This event will be supported by Community Bank Buninyong 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																														\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n							\n						\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									$13 per person plus booking fee\, general admission | $9 for BMI members plus booking fee.
