Thinking about a career in nutrition, but not sure where to start? 🤔

Health coach, sports nutritionist or clinical nutritionist. Each one has a different scope, a different qualification and a different earning potential. Most people don’t find that out until they’re already enrolled.

So we put it all in one place.

The Evidence-Based Practitioner’s Roadmap is our free guide to building a credible nutrition career in NZ & Australia. Inside you’ll find:

✅ What you can (and can’t) do at each level
✅ Which NZQA level gets you there
✅ Real NZ & AU rates for consults and packages
✅ Three business models that actually work
✅ Who recognises you: HCANZA, SNA, CNA, CMA and AACN

The world doesn’t need more nutrition gurus. It needs more qualified, evidence-based practitioners.

The right protein target depends on who is asking. An advanced lifter already at 1.5 g/kg might push towards 2 for a small edge. An older adult eating 0.7 g/kg gets far more from reaching 1.2 than from chasing a "perfect" number. Start where the person is.

Enjoy the odd drink? You don't need to choose between zero and "whatever".

The research is clear there's no healthy dose of alcohol. But if you do drink, these six habits keep the added risk small:

1️⃣ Fewer is better
2️⃣ More dry days than drinking days
3️⃣ Two drinks max per occasion
4️⃣ Drink with food
5️⃣ Move every day
6️⃣ Set a simple guardrail

Save this, share it with someone who needs a simple rule, and hear the full conversation with and on Translating Nutrition. Link in bio.

"No healthy dose" and "no safe dose" are not the same claim. The research supports the first. The second is where public messaging gets ahead of the data. Dr Cliff Harvey and Dr Mikki Williden break it down on Translating Nutrition. Full episode at the link in bio.

New episode out now 🎧

Is there really no safe amount of alcohol? The research is clear there's no healthy dose. But "no safe dose" is a different claim, and it's not quite what the biggest mortality data shows.

This week on Translating Nutrition, and into the studies behind the headlines: all-cause mortality, cancer risk, relative vs absolute risk, and the drinking pattern they'd actually recommend.

If you could only prioritise one, which would it be? Protein scientist Dr Carlene Starck picks protein. Her nuanced reasoning is the part a lot of people miss. Would you agree? Full episode via link in bio.

You don't need to eat "clean" 100% of the time to be healthy. Luke's rule of thumb with clients: build around 80% of your meals on whole foods (veg, fruit, legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds, plus animal foods if you eat them). Leave the other 20% for life: birthday cake, dinner with friends, the meal someone made for you. Your health is shaped by what you do most of the time, not by one slice of cake or an unplanned meal.

Dr Eric Helms was an author on the 2018 meta-analysis that gave us the 1.6 g/kg protein "limit". His take now? Studies don't expire, but meta-analyses do - and that one has been overtaken by newer, better data. Full episode of Translating Nutrition at the link in bio.

Most people don't need huge amounts of fibre to get the health benefits. Dr Carlene Starck on why an extra 10 g or so a day is where the big wins are - not screeds of it. Listen to the full episode on Translating Nutrition.

We're so excited to announce that our new podcast is here!

Translating Nutrition is HPI's new show with Dr Cliff Harvey. Each episode takes a nutrition question people argue about online and turns the research into something you can actually use, with clients or on your own plate.

Our first three guests:

Dr Eric Helms
Is 1.6 g/kg really the protein limit? He co-wrote the paper that number came from, and he explains why it isn't a hard ceiling.

Dr Carlene Starck .starck.phd
Protein or fibre: do you have to pick a side? A protein scientist on what should actually go on your plate.

Luke Gabites
Can you eat by your values without rigid rules? On plant-based pragmatism and why most of the time a direction beats a line you can fail.

For practitioners, students and anyone tired of diet camps shouting at each other.
