Single-nutrient ‘villains’ and ‘heroes’ may be a popular trend in the media, on social media and even by some health professionals, but this approach does not consider the entire nutrient offering of a given food. ‘Clean’ labels, cutting out sugar or avoiding ‘processed’ foods might seem like the magical answer to a healthy diet, but the truth is that taking a more nutrient dense approach can help people make more informed food choices and build healthier dietary patterns.

This two-hour interactive workshop will highlight the benefits of a nutrient-dense approach for a more productive and meaningful nutrition conversation. Whether you work with individual clients, traditional media outlets or social media platforms, engaging your audience to shift their focus away from single nutrients and toward a more comprehensive approach can help empower them to build a healthier dietary pattern.

Participants will learn and practice strategies to translate the nutrient density science into their own words and walk away with content/messages that can be utilized in a variety of ways including traditional media, social media, presentations, blogs, videos and more. Even seasoned communicators can benefit from the opportunity to practice incorporating stories and compelling language into their messaging/content.
