Thanks!


I have worked in education for 15 years and still love the buzz of seeing someone learn something new. For this reason I hope you learn something new each time you visit my blog.

Working as a teacher, first in Australia and then the UK, I was amazed and kind of horrified by the number of students making poor food choices. Was it any wonder they were finding it difficult to concentrate after a breakfast of a chocolate bar and a can of Coke? I began to introduce nutrition topics into my science classes, to help the students think about how the food we eat affects our health. A few of the students made real changes to their habits (amazingly for teenagers!), and even influenced the choices their parents were making as a result of our classes. My passion for nutrition was sparked!

I am excited to have recently graduated with a Masters in Nutrition and Dietetics and to be embarking on my new career as a dietitian. The goal of my blog is to be a source of credible nutrition information so you can make informed choices about the food you eat, feel great and enjoy life.
