The Nutrition modules in the education portal, are designed for those who would like to understand more about the ins and outs of nutrition, backed by real science. Don't be confused anymore by all of the mixed messages we are constantly bombarded with on the internet... Knowledge is empowering and once you understand the basics, you can easily apply this to make up your own mind about what might be helpful to you and what might actually become harmful, especially over the long term! 

 

The aim is to empower you and help you to decide for yourself about what's healthy and not get swept up in clever marketing and constant internet gossip..... make healthy choices easy!   

 

The modules consist of a series of short recorded lectures and other support resources to assist with your understanding, as well as a discussion forum where you can ask any questions about the topics being discussed.  There will also be some tasks you can complete based on what you are learning, to help you put real changes into practice along the way. 

 

With an easy to use online format, you access the materials at any time of your convenience.
