The ultimate resource list for Nutrition grads: CPD
Hello to you, nutrition student, new graduate, or interested party. Welcome to the ultimate list of Nutrition graduate resources. When I came out of university there was a distinctive lack of resources/available for new graduates, much has changed since then. So I wanted to create a resource that reflects all the things I wish I’d had available to me when I was a new graduate. This post is specifically focused on continual professional development (CPD) detailing what it is, where to find it, and how to record it - enjoy!
Responding to unwanted nutrition advice and diet chat.
5 ways to respond to that ever familiar unwanted nutrition advice and diet chat.
I don’t feel like cooking
Welcome to the year 2021, and if like me, you live in the UK, you’ll have spent most of your last year indoors. It seems like now may be a good time to reflect on this a little. After a year with a radically altered food landscape, less time out of the house, not being able to share meals with friends, or grabbing a bite while out and about and instead, more time in our own kitchens. I’m sure that for some, this time has been enjoyable, but for others, it can feel overwhelming, or frankly just a little boring.

2019. A year in wellness.
2020 brings with it a new year and a new decade, for me, this means a new year of nutrition and wellness trends. January is the month for health and fitness, over-ambitious resolutions, and a host of new products that flood the market.
A Christmas balancing act
You’ll see many headlines this time of year around over-indulgence.
Store cupboard essentials
Without releasing it, your store cupboards are loaded with gems you’ve probably forgotten about that make a delicious and nutritious meal. This is not a new idea, but one that gets often gets overlooked when talking about food and health.
For the love of potatoes
We’ve just left behind September, the harvest month, full of a huge variety of seasonal fruit and vegetables. As we move into winter it can often feel like there is little choice when it comes to eating seasonably. It’s important to maintain variety throughout the seasons to make sure you’re getting a good balance of nutrients all year round.
