Meet Dr Aqsa Mukhtiar, PhD in Nutrition

• Course author: plans each course, writes the lessons and designs the trackers, planners and checklists that go with them.
• Nutrition content reviewer: checks that food and nutrition advice matches current UK guidance, that numbers such as portions, limits and supplement doses are quoted correctly, and that every claim is backed by a named source.

1. Start from official UK sources, such as the Eatwell Guide, NHS pages, the UK Chief Medical Officers' guidelines and NICE guidance.
2. Write in plain English, without promises of results or claims that food treats or cures anything.
3. Add a check first list for people who should speak to a health professional before making changes.
4. Add a when to get help section that points to the right NHS service.
5. List the sources at the end of the course so you can read the original advice.

Some courses cover topics beyond nutrition, such as HRT, mood and anxiety, sleep problems, relationships and parenting. These courses are written as general education from NHS, NICE and other official information. They explain your options and help you prepare questions, and they tell you when to speak to your GP, pharmacist or another qualified professional. They are not clinical advice.

Her title comes from her doctorate in nutrition. She is not a medical doctor, so our courses never replace advice from your GP, midwife, health visitor, pharmacist or other health professional who knows your situation.
