Design nutrition programs that are safe for your clients and the planet
Going plant-based can have dangerous repercussions when done wrong, including gastrointestinal disturbances, ‘vegan insomnia’, tiredness and brain drain, overeating or undereating, panic about shopping/food preparation, harmful dietary insufficiencies… the list goes on.
How can you support a smoother plant-eating transition without fears and unwanted complications, and answer questions like these confidently:
- What is plant-based eating – and what is it not?
- Am I allowed to eat some animal foods... or is it about going entirely vegan?
- Are plant-based diets always healthier?
- I want to go plant-exclusive from plant-rich. How can I transition?
- Will I miss out on key nutrients if I switch to plant-forward dietary approaches?
- Does eating less meat have an ecological impact?
This training gives you the complete scientific framework to help clients make long-term changes towards plant-forward eating.
