How much can nutrition actually support or affect mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression? If you're also wondering, check out our upcoming CE-accredited webinar.

Last month alone, leading voices in psychiatry and behavioral health, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the American Psychiatric Association (APA), held dedicated sessions focused on ketogenic metabolic therapy: a nutrition-based approach to mental illness. We believe dietitians should be central to these conversations and care teams (after all we're the nutrition experts!), which is why we've invited Denise Potter RDN, CDCES, a private practice dietitian that has been implementing ketogenic therapy for almost 20 years, to cover the research (including an updated Delphi consensus published just this year), and strategies for safe and collaborative implementation in patients.

Missed our US Women's Health Symposium? The recording is now available!

Women's metabolic health doesn't stand still. From PMOS (formerly PCOS) through perimenopause and menopause, shifts in metabolism, weight, insulin sensitivity and even hair loss can change what good care looks like.

Join Tamara S. Melton, MS, RDN, LD, and Samaria Garrett, MS, RDN, LDN, as they unpack the dietitian's role in practice.

Here's what our attendee's are saying:

🎥 "This webinar was invaluable, including the definitions, clinical explanations, evaluations to review such as labs and NFPE, and food/supplement and resource recommendations that I can apply directly to my work today. Truly a masterclass in a value-added presentation, well worth the investment."

🎥 "Both of the speakers were phenomenal! I really appreciated the focus on a topic that I don’t feel gets enough attention in dietetics. Both presentations were very comprehensive, provided helpful examples & cheat sheets, and gave a nuanced look at how to approach these conversations with clients!"

🎥 "This was THE BEST educational webinar I have ever attended by far! Thank you to both of the expert RDNs! And I especially love seeing diversity in our dietetic professionals."

"Untangling women's metabolic health: Everything from GLP-1s and hormone therapy to PMOS and hair" awards 2.0 CPEUs in accordance with the Commission on Dietetic Registration’s CPEU Prior Approval Program.

📢 MAKE YOUR PLEDGE MONDAY

Malnutrition Week ANZ 2026 kicks off today, and it starts with one small action: a pledge.

A few prompts to get you thinking:

✅ Championing a food service or menu idea that makes eating easier for at-risk patients or residents

✅ Talking to patients, residents or clients about nutrition in a way that avoids stigmatising language

✅ Connecting with a dietitian in another setting (hospital, aged care, community) to share what's working

Are dietitians underusing hair as a clinical tool? Samaria Garrett, MS, RDN, LDN, a dietitian and licensed hair practitioner shared her take: "With so much noise competing for our patients' attention, it's time for dietitians to lead these conversations with the evidence-based nutrition training we have in our back pocket."

Join our upcoming women's metabolic health symposium where Samaria will connect the dots from hair and scalp health to nutrition. You'll learn how to spot the signs your patients are already showing you and translate it into a nutrition care plan that's targeted and culturally responsive.
