Talks & Workshops
Food is personal and complex. So let’s have better conversations about food, health and bodies.
Service Description
.I offer topical, lively and thoughtful sessions that make complex nutrition subjects interesting, relatable, useful and fun. Each talk or workshop is tailored to your organisation’s needs, with space for questions, discussion and real-life examples. People leave with clearer information and practical ideas they can use. TOPICS Nutrition nonsense does harm Misinformation is not harmless entertainment. Explore why questionable advice spreads, who benefits from it and how we can respond without becoming the food police. Nutrition controversies: what are we actually arguing about? Carbs, seed oils, protein, sweeteners and supplements. We unpack the evidence, the headlines and the important bits that tend to get left out. Ultra-processed foods: panic, politics and practical reality The conversation about UPFs is often richer in outrage than usefulness. Let’s look beyond the label to nutrition, affordability, access and how people actually eat. Weight and medications: beyond miracles and moral panic A clear-eyed conversation about what these medications do, what they cannot do, nutrition considerations, weight stigma and supporting people well. Eating when life is already full Practical ideas for eating with limited time, money, energy or headspace. No meal-prep Olympics, expensive superfoods or pretending everyone has a spare Sunday afternoon. Food and body talk: making workplaces safer Explore how casual comments, wellness challenges and “helpful” advice can affect people, and what more respectful and useful conversations might sound like. Food, bodies and ageing A practical and compassionate look at appetite, health, independence and family tensions as parents age. Have another topic in mind? Talks and workshops can be developed around the questions and conversations that matter to your organisation or community.
