20 Nutrition Accounts to Follow on Instagram

20 Nutrition Accounts to Follow on Instagram

Other
As somebody who was naturally not well suited to creating good Instagram content, but saw value in it, I've spent quite a lot of time looking at other nutrition accounts and trying to learn from what they do well. One of the benefits of this is that my feed has been largely dominated by nutrition accounts for multiple years, which I feel puts me in a decent position to create a list of people that I think would be worth following. I've included 20 accounts in this list, but obviously, there are a lot of other accounts out there that could deserve to be on this list. At a minimum though, I think most people could get a lot of value out of following some of these accounts. The list…

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? I grew up in a small, country town in Queensland with my family. I had a love for sports, food and music. At the end of my high school years, I was working crazy hours (~60+/week) in hospitality), drinking on the weekends and not fuelling my body with the right things (think takeaways and nutrient-poor, energy-dense foods). When I made the link between what I was putting into my body (food) and my mental health (anxiety, moody, irritable) that I began my love for researching how certain foods made me feel. This began my love for pursuing health as a career. From then, I was accepted into the University of Queensland to study an Undergraduate Degree in Exercise and Nutrition Science.…

10 Nutrition Facebook Pages to Follow

10 Nutrition Facebook Pages to Follow

Other
Over the last few years, I have noticed the activity of a lot of nutrition Facebook pages has dropped off significantly, which has dramatically narrowed this list down. My original notes from when I first had this idea had a list of almost 30 different pages, but a lot of them are either not active anymore, or their engagement has dropped off a cliff. A large part of this is due to the Facebook algorithm, combined with the fact that it is so much easier to grow a following on Instagram (and even this has become more difficult over time, particularly in comparison to apps like TikTok). This means a lot of people are focusing more time and energy on their Instagram accounts, leaving Facebook as an afterthought. I’m still…

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? My name is Nadia Felsch and I’m a Nutritionist (BHSc) who consults globally from Sydney.

Nutrition in the Digital Age

Nutrition in the Digital Age

Health
Social media, arguably one of the most expansive and dominant media forms in recent times, has quickly grown to become a powerhouse of connections and information. From what started as a seemingly innocent way to connect and share our lives with friends and family, social media has transformed into an almost incomprehensibly-sized platform for practically anything you can imagine - ranging from budding a relationship to fostering new business. Social media, whilst a great place to connect with loved ones, has brought along the opportunity for anybody and everybody to voice their opinions on almost every matter – including nutrition. When Becoming a Nutritionist Only Requires an Internet Connection With a simple web search, a world of information is readily available to be read, interpreted and used - but how…

How Does Technology Influence Eating Habits?

How Does Technology Influence Eating Habits?

Health
Technology isn’t just changing the way we communicate – it’s changing the way we eat. Take social media for example. Sharing food snaps on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter have grown into a worldwide phenomenon. Certain influencers have even made an entire career out of utilising this craze for food on their feeds. According to the Choosi Modern Food Trends Report, 39% of respondents claimed social media influences their current eating behaviours, with Gen Ys most likely to be influenced (64.4%). But still, the question remains. How much of an impact does technology really have on what we eat? And how will this change in the future? Let’s find out…. Social Media, Foodies and Awareness Social media influence can be a good thing in many ways – it’s the perfect vehicle…
