What's involved in an effective nutrition consultation?

✅Rapport, built over time
☑️Listening
✅Guiding
☑️Problem solving
✅Myth busting
☑️Knowledge of food
✅Patience
☑️Empathy

And so much more

On the Association for Nutrition CPD endorsed training these are many of the things we looked at as well as lots of practicalities. Delivering consultations is a privilege and and challenge.

Well done to all those who attended for their role play skills, discussions and questions.

The next training will be a hybrid one - with online and in person (in Manchester) options.

Nutrition and food are foundational for a healthy family life.

There is lots to talk about.

Today I joined the Honeybunch Community for their session. I talked about macro and micronutrients, meal planning and portion size and a little bit of awareness raising on commercial food pros and cons.

I'll be delivering the same talk next week with them in Collyhurst too if you want to come.

If you'd like me to come to your group to talk about nutrition, do drop me a DM or share this post with your group leader.

*World Oral Health Day 2026 | 20 March*

Oral diseases are among the most common health conditions in the world. Yet most are largely preventable with simple daily habits. 🦷

*Key facts:*
🔹 Oral diseases affect 3.7 billion people worldwide
🔹 Most common are tooth decay, gum disease, tooth loss and oral cancers
🔹 Gum disease affects more than 1 billion people
🔹 Poor oral hygiene, to***co, alcohol and diets high in free sugars are key risk factors

💸 Oral health care is often expensive and out of reach, especially in 'dental deserts'

*How to protect your teeth*
🪥 Brush teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste (1000–1500 ppm)
🍬 Reduce sugary drinks/snacks
🚭 Avoid to***co and alcohol
🥗 Eat fruit and vegetables. Ideally have fruit with meals.

⚠️ Don’t wait until it hurts. Your mouth is the gateway to your health – take care of it.

Happy Mothers' Day

As my Grandma used to say, "every day should be Mothers' Day". But today is a reminder of the extra special sacrifices mothers make.

Today might be really happy.

Today might be really hectic.

Today might be really sad.

To all those who mother their own children or other people's children, thank you. It really does take a village to raise a child.

Did you know today is International Day of Awesomeness?

I don't think I fit that category but I thought I would share some feedback from last week's training anyway!
