A University Nutrition Degree or The Nutrition Academy?

Emily McGuigan — My story since completing The Nutrition Academy

Our Government’s Health Priorities
I’m 66, I take no medications and I never had, I have no chronic disease, I’m capable of hiking with a full backpack for 20km a day. I love challenging myself in trail run competitions out in nature and I don’t vaccinate against the flu nor pneumococcal nor shingles (all free for me as said in the letters from Medicare) due to the ingredients and the lack of safety and efficacy in most vaccines. I’m particular about the ingredients in my food, so of course I’m particular about things that can be injected into me.

To Carnivore or Not to Carnivore?
To Carnivore or Not to Carnivore? The extremes in eating from carnivore to vegan and everything in between can be confusing and opposing. The Nutrition Academy will always address these issues within the philosophy of vitalism and a deep dive into the anthropological principles of culture and food. Should I follow the carnivore […]
The Case Against Sunscreen: A Natural Health Perspective
Sunscreens, Recalls and Sunshine As a young mum, I was called a child abuser because I refused to put sunscreen on my children. One mum could not believe I was endangering my children’s health in such a manner. It was not worth telling her why I didn’t, because she refused to listen. Now 30 years […]

Why is Referencing So Important?
Why is Referencing So Important Many students I speak to find the referencing side of their assignments and articles challenging. They are wondering if they are formatting the reference list and citing sources correctly. They feel frustrated that so much importance is placed on referencing data in the correct manner. We know that it is […]
