Laura and I are presenting to Nutritionists in Industry at their Women’s Health meeting bringing up the lesser spoken about issues that affect women through and post menopause. Sleep and bladder issues are often mentioned by women but often in passing. There is often a sense that they are inevitable and just have to be…

Talking to other Nutritionists
I will be talking to the AfN Yorkshire and Humberside regional group tomorrow sharing information on Eating Well for Menopause to a group of nutritionists. After we released our booklet, there was interest from other nutritionists to know more about how to present eating well information to this group of women. I am really looking…
#NutriKids Twitter Chat: Socially Distant CPD
The world is facing a huge challenge right now in the face of Covid-19. I am in France and I can’t leave my house or garden unless I am out to get food or for a health need. If I am out in breach of the rules that’ll be 135 Euro fine! So I am…
How to carve out a career in nutrition?
I wish I could answer that question on my own! Luckily, the @AfNutr Twitter chat team are starting off the new decade with a Twitter chat dedicated to all things career related. We are getting some special guests who know a thing or two about nutrition recruitment along to help out. Career development is an…
Exciting things for 2019
I just wanted to say Happy Christmas to everyone and also to share an exciting project for 2019. It started for me in a cafe in Edinburgh in the Summer over coffee and cake with Laura Wyness. The idea, a moderated, professional Twitter Chat for Registered and Associate Nutritionists. I said I would love to…
Food Matters Live 2018
A couple of weeks ago, I headed to London for 3 days of feeling all grown up and professional. Food Matters Live is a big event aimed at anyone involved in food – food manufacturers, food scientists, food developers, food writers, nutritionists, dietitians, researchers etc. It has an incredible array of seminars in 9 or…
Social Media and Health – Food Matters Live seminar got me thinking…
Social media is radically changing the way we communicate. There are some great things happening using social media, debates can really get out there and good users of social media (which I sadly don’t count myself in that bracket) really use it well to get a message out there, they reach a wide audience and…
Food Matters Live – Lots of sweet debate
A big strand running through Food Matters Live is the whole tackling obesity challenge with a big focus on sugar. Lots of debate about the sugar tax, although it should be communicated more as a levy on soft drinks. I think it is important to understand it fully before having a view on it. This…
Food Matters Live 2016 – off to London next week
Food Matters Live is booked along with accommodation and flights. It feels quite extravagant to be off for a multi-day conference – everything is a little more complicated and expensive with a commute from Paris. Fingers crossed that the military planning that is necessary to head off for the best part of 4 days all falls…
Work Place Health
It is harder living in Paris to get to CPD events, and after the long, long summer break (my children had 2 months off school) I was feeling a little out of touch. It was really exciting to be jumping on the Eurostar last weekend to go to a Nutritionists In Industry meeting to hear…
