Hi everyone. Nutri-Psyche is a premium course, as such you have what FeatureLearn calls "long-term" access to the course. This means that essentially, you would be able to re-visit the course material 'indefinitely'. However, I am only monitoring each run of the course for a few weeks and might not be able to help you... -
@AshaJuniper Hi Asha. It's up to you when to complete the test, depending on your timelines and study approach. I do apologise if this is a bit confusing, but as we have learners from all over the world, we are trying to tailor for everyone.
-
@BA Also, apologies if you've done this, but do you click on "Mark as complete" button on the bottom middle of the page?
-
@DrMicheleRogers Yes, you do have more than 3 weeks. Essentially, you do have an unlimited access to the course material. If you are to submit your CPD hours for the course to the RANZCP, you will need to do so in this calendar year.
-
@AshaJuniper there is a long and a short answer to your questions, Asha. As a dietitian, I do always think that food is better than supplements, but we do need to consider individual preferences and circumstances. Complains is usually greater with supplements, so there are some benefits in recommending these. Many people are also either not liking or not...
-
Tetyana Rocks replied to Asha Juniper
@AshaJuniper Yes, Miso soup sure is fermented food. However, if we cook it from a miso paste by adding boiling water, we need to consider the impact of high temperatures on any living microorganisms. There are some great recipes that use miso paste in salad dressings (like, tofu, miso and olive oil dressing when you just blend all ingredients together).
-
@AshaJuniper Indeed, I think FMT is one of the most promising approaches. Let's hope research will deliver some concrete evidence in the next few years.
-
@DrMicheleRogers Beautifully summed up, Michele!
-
@AshaJuniper Yes! As this is considered premium course, you will have an unlimited access to the resources.

Hi everyone. Great questions below.
1. Please do not be overly concerned about the MCQs. These are developed to support your learning, and are not particularly challenging.
2. You don't have to complete part 1 before undertaking the rest of the course.
3. You do have any time until the end of the year to complete your assessments but this needs to be... -
@nataliek Hi Natalie. In my understanding you need to complete each part of the MCQ in one go, however, FutureLearn IT support (pink button at the right bottom of your screen) might be helpful to confirm.

@BA Hi BA, thanks for letting me know. I have never encountered this before... My first recommendation is to refer to the FutureLearn Support (pink button in the bottom right corner of your screen), as this sounds like a possible system issue. I will, however, look at this from my side. I'll get back to you.

@AlexHardy Although I am biased as well, Alex, research evidence also show us that interventions developed and delivered by dietitians or other accredited nutrition professional are most effective.

@LucasCarter Very interesting points here, Lucas. Thanks for sharing! I think I do understand what you mean by 'toxic' when it comes to positivity. It is a real skill (or maybe a gift??) to be authentically positive.

Hi everyone. As some of you noted, dietary assessment tools serve diverse purposes and might be useful, particularly when we are trying to broaden our food horizons (aka eating with more variety).
Going through a checklist may help to tick off essentials (for example, veggies or water).
As long as we don’t get too preoccupied and keep it applicable to...

Hi everybody.
Informative conversation about guidelines, thank you. I enjoyed reading recommendations from different countries, and do agree that many of these are quite similar and based around consumption of a variety of foods, particularly plant foods, such as vegetables, grain, fruit…
Good to keep in mind that dietary guidelines are just guides that...
