WEBINAR – Plant Based Nutrition – improve both the quality of your nutrition and your impact on the planet

Online

Learn how to eat better from a Registered Nutritionist whilst also reducing your food footprint. We give you practical and actionable advice that you can start doing immediately, rather than just making a vague commitment to 'eat less meat'.

You will create your own action plan starting with your easy wins, then slowly transitioning into more plant based swaps to make. You will also learn how proper nutrition works, and how to get enough protein and essential nutrients in.

NTS Nutrition is an online nutrition clinic based in Whakatu. We offer highly individualised nutrition and exercise coaching. Nutritionist for Tasman Mako and Crusaders Academy.
