Course Overview

What this course is designed to develop

This course translates the latest nutrition science into a clear, actionable system for eating plant-centric without sacrifice or confusion. You will identify nutrient gaps that trip up most beginners — B12, iron, omega-3, zinc, and calcium — and learn exactly how to close them through food-first strategies and targeted supplementation. By the end you will have a personalised menu template, a grocery system, and the nutritional literacy to adapt your diet as your life changes.

Learning Outcomes

What the learner should be able to understand, build, or execute.

Identify the six highest-risk nutrient shortfalls on plant-based diets and the precise food or supplement solutions for each

Build a daily plate using the whole-food plant-based (WFPB) portfolio framework covering all macronutrient and fibre targets

Design a nutritionally complete one-week menu on three different budget tiers using cost-per-gram-of-protein benchmarking

Apply complementary protein pairing, soaking, and fermentation methods to maximise mineral absorption from plant foods

Evaluate food labels and restaurant menus to make informed plant-based choices when cooking from scratch is not an option

Create a personalised supplement stack limited to evidence-backed compounds and correct doses for your life stage
