Is your dietitian full of beans? Surveying the profession on plant-based diets
Description
This week we welcome Michael Metoudi, RD, M.Sc, a registered dietitian working within both research and clinical practice. Michael talks about his research on the knowledge and views held by registered dietitians in England and Northern Ireland on plant-based diets.
Michael holds a master in Molecular Medicine and has previously worked in clinical trials for immunotherapy-related cancer treatments at King’s College London.
During this time he found himself exposed to the emerging research into plant-based nutrition and the many benefits it can have in terms of human health. Attending the first PBHP conference in 2018 inspired him into to redirect the course of his career path into clinical nutrition.
Having obtained a masters in clinical nutrition and dietetics from University College Dublin, Michael now works in nutrition research as well as in clinic with clients of all ages, and within an eating disorders recovery centre.
