CP Nutrition

If you've seen my stories this week, you will have seen that I had a message from an old client which made my day!🥰

It also made me reflect a lot on my practice and reminded me that although the focus of my work with clients is often managing health conditions like PMOS or endometriosis, it is almost more important to work on optimising peoples relationship with food (and their body).

After all, making changes to your diet and lifestyle means changing your behaviours and our food and eating behaviours tell a story about our relationship with food throughout our lives. Our experiences shape how we see certain foods, how we value our bodies and how we approach taking care of ourselves.

This means it is much harder to make positive, lasting changes without working on your relationship with food and body.

Reaching a place of food freedom is often more appreciated than just knowing what to eat to manage PMOS/endo.

Swipe to see the feedback this old client left and if you are interested in listening to more of her story then send me a DM and I can share a podcast episode she was on recently where she talks all about her experiences.

❓Have you been wondering whether a dairy-free diet will help you with your PCOS/PMOS symptoms?

🥛You may have seen claims that dairy can cause or worsen PMOS symptoms. Whilst it can be tempting to give a dairy free diet a try, it is always a good idea to proceed with caution. Eliminating dairy completely can potentially lead to long-term nutrient deficiencies so the (potential) benefits need to out weigh the risks.

🧀If you’ve been thinking about going dairy-free then check out our latest blog post before you do.

We review the current evidence on PMOS and dairy to help you decide whether a dairy-free diet is right for you and how best to approach it in a healthy and sustainable way.

It's Dietitian's week in the UK - a time to celebrate dietitians, the work that we do, and to raise the profile of the profession.

Day1 of (yes, I am a day late I know!) is about sharing our why.......why get into dietetics?

Well, my journey into dietetics was not straight forward as, to be honest, when I finished school I had no idea what a dietitian was or that the profession even existed!

I studied biology at uni as I loved science and how the body works, and thanks to my multi-cultural upbringing, I grew up enjoying and appreciating food.

After my BSc I went on to do a Master's in Nutrition and realised many of my peers were doing the course in order to get on to the Post Grad Diploma course in Dietetics - and once I realised this was a career option there was no looking back!

I haven't really stopped studying as since qualifying as a Dietitian, I have also completed a PG Dip in Sports Nutrition, went on to do my PhD and have completed many other specialist trainings as well such as Intuitive eating, fertility and pregnancy nutrition etc etc

In fact something I love about dietetics is that as dietitians we are always learning - keeping up with the evidence, creating the evidence if you work in academia and research, and sharing it with others in an understandable way.

Specialising in women's health allowed me to deepen my knowledge of conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, menopause and fertility, and I am lucky to work with such amazing clients and colleagues in this space.

Dietetics is more than just a job!
