I am here for this 👇 Yes, exercise can benefit mental health but for some exercise is a fine balance between being self care and self harm.

Does anyone else feel like the tsunami of nutritional misinformation is so large that it's impossible to counter, however excellent one's reach and scicomm skills may be? Beliefs trump facts and anecdote equals data. Today, I feel like giving up.

Game changing. Train less but smarter. Good form, slow tempo, lift to failure. Lighter weights, fewer sets, mind muscle connection. It works for me 👍

Just seen @Laura_Wyness and Lynn Burns at the AfN London/SE event summarising their fantastic resource which provides practical nutrition advice for peri- and post-menopausal women. At a vulnerable time when fad diets are tempting, they sort the fact from the fiction.

Exercise can reduce symptoms of mild to moderate depression in many but should be recommended only after taking an existing inventory of MH. Those already engaging in intense, possibly excessive exercise may not see the benefits and may, in fact, do more harm than good.

Well put 👇 I was on the tube with some vocal protesters, loudly and aggressively spreading misinformation and also making dreadfully racist comments. I had to get off. I felt threatened. We have all experienced struggles in the last year but this is not an appropriate response.

Last chance to sign up for tomorrow's webinar. Please note, given the unprecedented quality of the England football team, the webinar will now be held at 7pm to allow you to watch the match (if you so desire). The webinar will also be recorded for you to view after the event.

Fascinating review of the truth behind CHO feeding before exercise. TLDR: while pre-comp CHO may induce reactive hypoglycemia, this does not affect performance. CHO-sensitive individuals can choose lower GI CHO, consume CHO 15 mins pre-comp or avoid CHO for 90 mins pre-comp.

New dates for my AfN accredited nutrition and health claims webinar for brands and HCPs! - When? 3rd Nov at 8pm for 3 consecutive weeks. - Where? Zoom. - Book your place here: clairebaseley.co.uk/webinars/

Still time to book for this Weds. And remember, the sessions are recorded so, if you can't make one of the dates, you can watch back in your own time.

A lot of time for this, whether it's ref tracking macros or training. It can help to figure out what works and what doesn't but as soon as the anxiety kicks in and you become a slave to the tracker, it's time to stop, listen to your body and practise some self care.

I'm seeing more and more examples of #greenwashing where companies are misleading consumers about the environmental credentials of a product. Like health claims, environmental claims are regulated. Find out more from ASA 👇

I saw this a lot when I did sports nutrition 121s. Tracking macros to the second dp and using (mostly ineffective) supplements to give an edge or debating the relative benefits of whey concentrate vs isolate. I used to say you're feeding a Ford not a Bentley! Back to basics.

Thanks so much for my nomination in the "Best mythbuster" category! Do please vote for your favourite nutritionists if you have a moment 😊
