Work Experience

If you've found this page you're probably either a student or newly qualified individual in the area of nutrition. Firstly, congratulations for choosing an awesome career path and even better, being motivated to go beyond your brick and mortar studies to see what else is out there! The best thing I ever did was to use the internet to find out what everyone else was saying. I was actually fortunate enough not to be brain washed into thinking a certain way during my studies but instead was simply taught to think critically.

Now, onto what you really want to know about. Work experience, work shadowing, internships, slave labour…… whatever you want to call it. I'll be up front, it's bad news. I've had almost a dozen interns/mentees in varying capacities over the past few years; some were great, others couldn't handle the fact that I didn't recommend 12 servings of carbohydrate per day to make people super healthy…. but the fact is, at the moment, being a consultant means I don't have the capacity to offer work experience. Other nutritionists who have full time jobs with particular teams or sports may be able to offer the opportunity to shadow them around the workplace. However, work experience with me would be you sitting in my office watching me type emails to clients, writing articles for various publications and occasionally replying to abusive tweets from vegans on Twitter….

The good news is, the information contained on this website is there for you to read and interact with. It might sound ridiculous but one of the best things you can do is to read my ramblings and then go away and do your own research and see if you come up with the same answer. If you get stuck, ask a question, if you disagree with what you've read, feel free to make your case!

Finally, if you are desperate to meet up and talk work, job opportunities, CPD etc then you can book a consultation with me at a reduced rate (75% OFF). Simply use the contact form on the website to get in touch.

Even more good news… I may be offering a day/weekend mentorship program! Please regiester your interest on the Mac-Nutrition Mentorship page.
