I’ve wanted to write this blog for a long time – dairy is a hot topic and everyone has a view on it whether they’re a scientist, an allergy sufferer or a supermodel. I always remember reading that supermodel Elle Macpherson doesn’t ‘do dairy’ [...]
This week is Coeliac Awareness week. It has its own week because it is underdiagnosed. Perhaps this is because it involves the whole area of gut symptoms that we Brits aren’t great at talking about (such as wind, bloating, diarrhoea - delightful things like [...]
April is Stress Awareness Month – a little ironic that my blog on this subject is being released mid- way through the month – perhaps a symptom of my own stress management and a need to heed my own words! Defined by psychologists as, [...]
The Easter Holidays are upon us so I wanted to take this opportunity to share some thoughts and advice for busy parents. As women we’re often guilty of putting everyone’s needs above our own and I’ve seen many who would probably confess to the [...]
There are a lot of alternative facts out there, concluded by people who don’t necessarily have a grasp of the scientific literature or an ability to interpret it. More food based tips in blogs to follow but firstly lets deal with the nitty gritty [...]
The reality is this is a real problem for a lot of people. Historically (and maybe still) Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the phrase left echoing in your ears when a whole barrage of tests have concluded nothing in particular. Relieved on the one hand [...]
The BBC2 series ‘Further Back in Time for Dinner’ has really captured people’s hearts. I for one, like to wallow in nostalgia occasionally and this programme provides the perfect opportunity to do it. In the final episode of the show (airing on 28th Feb) [...]
Welcome to the Laura Clark Nutrition blog – helping each and every one of you access nutrition sense and eat it real.
The nutrition and health world has exploded onto the internet – we are overwhelmed with facts, fads, false claims and frustration. Everyone – including those not even qualified - seems obsessed with labelling food but we don’t understand the labels that already exist.
Food is a basic human need and yet so many people struggle to get it right and our environment certainly isn’t helping us. The media loves to define things and make it black and white with what will kill you one day being the secret to a long life the next.
What I feel is missing is honest, practical, impartial advice that translates the science and facts into simple language that’s easy to understand and apply in everyday life situations.
The blog is based on the ‘eat it real’ concept – real life, evidence based, easy to understand nutrition information. My commitment to you is that I have no agenda and I’m not trying to sell you a product. I do practice evidence based nutrition and I know lots of clever research people! I will tell you it straight. I will help you understand what your body needs and how you can improve your relationship with food.
I will help you to #eatitreal.
Nutritionist, dietitian, nutritional therapist, nutritionalist – aaarh the list goes on! What are the differences between nutrition qualifications? I was in NEXT the other day when my 3 year old (star of the joys of feeding a 3 year old blog) said “are we [...]
It’s been quite a week in the nutrition world and the phenomenon that is clean eating! Registered dietitians and nutritionists everywhere have been rejoicing and signing up to the Giles Yeo fan club. In BBC 2 Horizon last night (19th Jan) Dr. Yeo took [...]
