Studying Nutrition
The various pieces of my “relationship with food” picture were starting to connect.
The love of food I share with my mum.
Practical knowledge I acquired from culinary school.
Insight I gained in the south of France, about how appreciating high quality produce in the right balance can help one lose weight and increase health.
I was beginning to understand the emotional, technical and psychological aspects of food, but what was missing was the nutritional science part. I wanted to be able to explain to people what the human body’s requirements are when it comes to nourishing ourselves, and how different types of food affect our development, growth and wellbeing.
Moving back to Australia from Europe, I was interested not only in excellent food and how ingredients work their magic together, but also how they affect our brains and bodies.
I wanted to educate people on how easy it is to be healthy. And I wanted the formal credentials to take this message into a mainstream format. So, I enrolled myself in a Diploma of Nutrition course at a private college in Sydney and became a qualified nutritionist.
My career focus is on holistic nutrition and getting this information into the household – I want mums and dads, grandparents, singles and couples to find out how simple it is to have a healthy, balanced diet.
A key principle behind my Falling In Love With Food online program is balance, and helping my participants find the balance that works for them. My aim is to impart what I’ve been taught about looking at food in a positive manner, and nourishing yourself from the inside out.
This chapter showcases a selection of some of my most preferred nutrient-dense meals, which are equally as delicious as they are beneficial for your health.
