Learn fact from fiction with leading nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert.

Nutrition is an essential part of a healthy life, but thanks to trends, fads and pseudoscience, it is becoming increasingly hard to know what’s what. Embarking on a journey of long-term health can be a challenge, and involves committing to months of dedication - and that includes navigating the nutrition myths that will stop you from reaching your goals.

In this afternoon course with leading Harley Street nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert, you will be taken through the most common diet tricks that are actually hindering people’s efforts. From cutting out carbs and going low-fat, to macro- and calorie-counting, Rhiannon will show you how to avoid the myths and find out what works best for your health and longevity.

Ultimately, you will come away with an understanding of basic nutrition, and will feel inspired by the simple ways you can eat well anywhere. There is also an opportunity at the end for you to ask Rhiannon any nutritional questions you may have.
