Protein: Do You Really Need More? A Practical Guide for Rheumatic Conditions

How can this event help me?

Building the right balance of nutrients can play a powerful role in supporting your health, particularly when you’re living with a rheumatic condition. Protein is often talked about as the key to strength, muscle maintenance and recovery, but how much do you really need? And does that change if you have inflammation, reduced activity, or are taking certain medications?

In this live online event, Dietitian Monica Kubizniak will shed light on the role of protein in rheumatic and musculoskeletal conditions and provide clear, evidence-based guidance tailored to real life. This session is designed for anyone wanting to better understand how protein fits into managing inflammation, preserving muscle mass, and supporting long-term joint health.

Join Monica for a practical discussion covering:

  • Do you really need more protein?
    Monica will break down current research on protein requirements, including how needs may differ for people living with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and other chronic conditions. You’ll learn how age, activity levels and inflammation influence protein needs.
  • Protein and muscle health
    Loss of muscle mass can occur with chronic inflammation, reduced movement or long-term corticosteroid use. Discover how adequate protein intake supports muscle maintenance, strength and physical function, and how this links to mobility and independence.
  • How much is enough and how to space it out
    Learn practical strategies for distributing protein evenly across the day to maximise muscle protein synthesis. Monica will explain what this looks like in everyday meals and snacks without relying on complicated tracking.
  • Food first: Practical protein sources
    Explore a range of whole food protein options including plant and animal sources. Monica will discuss the benefits of variety, protein quality, and how to build balanced meals that also support bone and cardiovascular health.
  • Do you need supplements?
    Protein powders and high-protein products are everywhere. Monica will help you understand when supplements may be useful, when they’re unnecessary, and how to choose wisely if they’re appropriate for you.

Join us on Wednesday, April 1st at 8:00 PM AEDT for this informative live virtual event. As always, we welcome your questions and discussions to make this an engaging and supportive experience for everyone.
