    Why your nutrition advice should come from Dietitians (Not Influencers)

    Today, we’re going to discuss why you should listen to dietitians for your nutrition advice and ditch listening to influencers. The main voices and popular videos are often pushed by people without qualifications which is distressing to me. The rate of misinformation is high and we’re seeing a lack of factual evidence and more pseudoscience. Tune in for next week's episode with Tara for more in-depth discussion of orthorexia and clean eating!
