🎥✨ A Week in the Life of a Student Dietitian & BDA London Branch Social Media Officer 💙

On Tuesday I has an early start at uni, which included planning upcoming posts and creating educational content for Instagram, including one on cholesterol awareness 🫀

We explored the management of Type I & II Diabetes with guest lecturers from Whittington Hospital and discussed the Broken Plate Report by the Food Foundation 🍽️: a powerful reminder of how diet and inequality are deeply connected.

Wednesday was packed with biochemistry and professional practice sessions, where we talked about electron transport chain, care homes, how dietitians can help improve residents’ health, and how to spot malnutrition 💬

During the lunch break, I had the honour of leading our London Met Nutrition Society’s study skills session. What a fantastic way to reinforce our learning and share tips on how to study effectively 🙌

On Friday, my youngest came down with a fever and cough, so I stayed home to look after my little patient. While he was napping and enjoying his beauty sleep, I finalised the newsletter for the London Met Nutrition Society and shared a few stories for the BDA London Branch 😌

Throughout November, we’ll be focusing on malnutrition awareness, sharing useful information and resources as part of Malnutrition Awareness Week — so make sure to follow along 💙

Feeling so grateful, productive, and inspired today… wishing everyone a lovely weekend ✨

🩺 Let’s talk cholesterol: a modifiable risk factor for heart health❤️

High cholesterol can quietly build up in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke, often without any symptoms.

Some individuals are more affected due to genetic factors, environment, and inequalities in access to care. This highlights the importance of awareness and early action.

The good news? Cholesterol levels are modifiable through small, evidence-based lifestyle changes:
 🥣 Eat more fibre 🫒 Choose unsaturated fats 🚶‍♀️ Stay active and check your levels regularly

🩺If unsure about your risks consult your GP❗️

For personalised and evidence-based support with nutrition trust a Registered Dietitian to help you make sustainable changes that protect your heart😌

💙✨ Happy 💙✨

Today we celebrate the incredible work of Allied Health Professionals — a diverse group of experts transforming health and wellbeing every day👩‍⚕️

Among them are dietitians, the only nutrition professionals regulated by the HCPC, who combine science, evidence, and compassion to help individuals and communities make sustainable changes to their health ✨

From hospitals to community clinics, research to policy — dietitians are improving lives through food, nutrition and evidence-based practices 🥗💙

Men’s Health Week 2025 💬🙌

This Men’s Health Week, we’re shining a spotlight on the importance of supporting men’s physical and mental health. It is important to consider not only nutrition and fitness, but also wider aspects of our life like stress, sleep and self-care.
