After episode 58 of the Macabolic Podcast recounting and reflecting on my experience and recommendations in nutrition education. Some points of confusion and error on my behalf needed correction. Rather than just correcting a few points in isolation, I figured it would be easier to just get Alex Thomas, the president of Sports Nutrition Australia to shed some clarity on all this nutrition education confusion. We cover legitimacy, scope of practice, insurance, accreditation across all levels of education from 3 day seminars, and ‘hobby courses’ to the SNA pathway (cert, graduate diploma, and MSc) through to the ‘god-tier’ of sports dietitians. 

 

If you want to know where certain courses you’ve seen advertised or popularised on social media stand, this episode is for you.
