This is the first solo show of Season 2. I do not usually post about the solo shows and they are ultimately additions for my loyal listeners. This week: How To Become A Nutritionist I get a lot of questions about my journey and how I earn a living as a nutritionist. I also get a lot of questions about how to become a nutritionist and who to study with and register with. I answer everything in the show. ( I do not get paid by any of these organisations.
