Jasmin Teurlings
7NEWS Journalist
Jasmin Teurlings is a journalist with 7NEWS and host of Channel 7’s weekly property segment, ‘Selling SA’. Jasmin lost her aunt, Tracey, to bowel cancer in 2014. Tracey was just 37 years old when she was diagnosed with advanced rectal cancer. Like Jodi Lee, Tracey’s story could have been different if her cancer was detected earlier. Since then, Jasmin’s family has been a major sponsor and fundraiser for the Jodi Lee Bowel Cancer Foundation – raising awareness about early detection.
She has also filed numerous stories, working with the Foundation, putting a spotlight on Australia’s low bowel cancer screening rates. Jasmin is proud to be honouring her aunt’s legacy in her new role as a JLF ambassador.
Meet our panel
Guests will be inspired by a powerful panel discussion featuring Nabula El Mourid, Founder of Supermarket Swap, and leading nutrition scientist Dr Jane Bowen. Together, they’ll dive into the life-changing connection between food, wellbeing, and sustainability.
Nabula El Mourid
Founder - Supermarket Swap
Author of The Weekly Grocery Shop
Overwhelmed by long ingredient lists and countless products, Nabula El Mourid began searching supermarkets for real, additive-free foods. Her mission to share these finds led to the launch of Supermarket Swap in June 2020.
What began as simple swap posts on Instagram quickly grew into a nationwide community of over 360,000 followers. To make additive-free shopping easier, Nabula launched the Supermarket Swap App in 2021 — a top 5 hit in Apple’s Health & Fitness charts.
With over 50,000 users, Supermarket Swap has become one of Australia’s largest additive- and preservative-free communities. Nabula’s first book, The Weekly Grocery Shop, was released in August 2025.
