More and more families are choosing to follow plant-based diets, but are they safe and nourishing for children? For many student dietitians, paediatrics - and plant-based nutrition in particular - can feel like an area we only just skim the surface of during training, and confidence can be low when it’s time to apply this knowledge in practice.To unpack the evidence behind this topic, I’m joined by specialist paediatric dietitian Paula Hallam. With over 20 years of experience in children’s nutrition, Paula is the founder of Plant Based Kids, and author of Plant Powered Little People. In today’s episode Paula will be sharing her career journey, why she chose to specialise in plant-based diets, and what it takes to thrive in paediatric dietetics. Show notes:https://plantbased-kids.com/@plantbasedkids.ukResources:Plant Powered Little People (book) - https://plantbased-kids.com/plant-powered-little-people-paula-hallam/ The Vegan Society - https://www.vegansociety.com/ The Vegetarian Society - https://vegsoc.org/ Plant Based Health Professionals - https://plantbasedhealthprofessionals.com/ Plant Based Nutrition Course (online) - https://www.winchester.ac.uk/study/Short-courses/Courses/Plant-based-Nutrition/
