General

I am a UK Registered Dietitian with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and I am a member of the British Dietetic Association (BDA).

• I aim to use my scientific knowledge, clinical skills and expertise as a dietitian in an accurate and professionally responsible manner.
• I never make or support unjustifiable statements relating to particular products (as per HCPC & BDA guidelines) or promote one product over another (as per food industry regulations).
• The advice given on this website is aimed at the general public and should not be used as an alternative to personally tailored advice given by your own dietitian, doctor or nurse.
• All of the opinions on this website are my own and are 100% honest but you have the right to know if I have accepted money or ‘freebies’ (samples) in the process of formulating those views (as per the Internet Advertising Bureau: IAB guidelinesand Advertising Standards Authority ASA).
• It is my policy to only accept compensation from companies I believe in and would already buy myself from/recommend.

• A product mention or feature does not imply endorsement or recommendation of the product in question.
• Any sponsorship or other forms of compensation are clearly marked and will never influence the content, topic or posts on this site.

Product reviews

I only ever review or feature products/services which I personally would buy and that I believe, as a Registered Dietitian, could enhance the health, well-being and nutrition of my followers.

• I may occasionally be sent samples of products to try, however I only blog about the ones that I personally and professionally like and that I would buy with my own money. If I do receive a sample there will be a statement saying this at the end of the blog post.
• Any reviews of products are based on my personal preference and a nutrition assessment based on my professional observation, training and expertise as a registered dietitian.
• Any rewards e.g. samples received, do not play a part in the products and services featured/used or statements written on this blog (as per HCPC & BDA guidelines).
• If I do not like a product, rather than write a negative review, I will not feature it on my blog. I cannot and will not be swayed by incentives of any form.
• If a product doesn’t fit with my philosophy, has claims based on pseudoscience ,or (in my opinion) will not enhance the wellbeing of my readers (e.g. supplements, junk food etc.) I won’t feature it. I cannot and will not be swayed by incentives of any kind.

Sponsored posts

If a blog post is marked as “sponsored/inspired by”, “in collaboration with” or “featured”, a company has compensated me either via money, a gift, or something else of value for the time taken to write it. Regardless, all comments are my own, are 100% honest and are not influenced by the incentive.

• Any rewards received do not play a part in the products and services featured/used or statements written on this blog (as per HCPC & BDA guidelines).
• I decline sponsored blog posts from companies that I do not believe will enhance the health & wellbeing of my audience e.g. has claims based on pseudoscience. I cannot and will not be swayed by incentives of any kind.
• On social media, the hashtag #Ad gives reference to a sponsored blog post if the company is mentioned within the status.

Affiliate links

I receive many questions about where products can be purchased and so if possible I will link to where I personally have obtained them or where you can purchase them easily and at a reasonable price.

• My blog content (advice and recipes) remain free to all because of the addition of affiliate links/codes; each blog post takes a considerable amount of time to research and write and each recipe takes a considerable amount of time and money to develop. If you click certain hyperlinks and purchase items or use my discount code, in some cases I may receive a small commission e.g. from Amazon. This does not affect the price that you pay.
• If I link to an e-shop, it is not that I endorse them or their philosophy, it is merely a place where either I obtained the product initially, or somewhere you can purchase it.
• All blog posts containing affiliate links/codes are clearly labelled at the beginning.

Discount Codes

• I occasionally post carefully selected discount codes which reduce the price of certain products that I link to e.g. recipe books. I do this to benefit my followers and I too may also use them.
• Any rewards received do not play a part in the products and services featured/used or statements written on this blog (as per HCPC & BDA guidelines).
