I am pleased to announce that the Association for Nutrition (AfN) has granted me the title of Registered Nutritionist.
This is, if you like, an ‘official stamp’ for my ability to advise clients on all nutritional matters relating to ADHD and related conditions.
When I first set out on my quest to become the foremost authority on ADHD, I was a London estate agent. My son had been diagnosed with ADHD and, as I have related elsewhere, that diagnosis was a pivotal moment. Expertise on the subject was woefully lacking in the educational establishments I had to deal with. I was determined to fill the void by becoming the expert this situation so desperately needed.
It’s been a long, challenging and very satisfying journey, and one that develops constantly. Expertise doesn’t simply peak and then grind to a halt. It is a continual process, and I’m pleased to announce this latest achievement. The AfN, the organization from which the accreditation of Registered Nutritionist comes, defines and advances standards of evidence-based practice across the field of nutrition.
My RNutr status is a recognition of two key things – my professional competence in the field of nutrition, and my dedication to help anyone in need of diet-related advice and guidance on ADHD and related conditions.
