About Me

My name is Jane Francis, and I am a Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutr) with the Association for Nutrition (AfN).

My academic background is in public health nutrition, and I am passionate about making evidence-based nutrition information accessible, practical and relevant to everyday life.

I work in accordance with the AfN Standards of Ethics, Conduct and Performance and am committed to practising within my qualifications, knowledge, skills and experience.
 

What I Offer

Taoide Nutrition provides individualised, evidence-based nutrition support through online consultations.

My aim is to help individuals develop a better understanding of nutrition and make realistic, sustainable changes to their everyday eating habits.

Areas of support may include:

• Developing balanced and varied eating habits.

• Understanding general nutrition and healthy eating principles.

• Improving everyday food choices and meal patterns.

• Meal planning and practical food preparation.

• Understanding food labels and making informed food choices.

• Exploring how dietary habits fit around lifestyle, preferences and individual goals.

• General nutrition support during different life stages, where appropriate to my knowledge and competence.

My approach is personalised, supportive and centred around practical changes that can fit into everyday life.
 

Working Within My Scope

I am committed to working within my professional knowledge, qualifications, experience and competence.

Taoide Nutrition does not provide:

• Medical diagnosis or treatment.

• Prescribing or recommending changes to prescribed medication.

• Medical nutrition therapy for complex clinical conditions beyond my competence.

• Diagnosis or treatment of eating disorders or mental health conditions.

• Psychological therapy or counselling.

• Emergency medical advice or medical care.

Nutrition support is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment from your GP, Registered Dietitian or another appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
 

When Another Professional May Be More Appropriate

Your safety and wellbeing are important.

There may be circumstances where your needs are better supported by a Registered Dietitian, GP or another healthcare professional.

If your circumstances fall outside my scope of practice or require specialist clinical support, I may recommend that you seek advice from an appropriately qualified professional.

Where appropriate, I may decline or discontinue nutrition support if I believe it would not be suitable for your needs.

This does not mean that every medical condition or health concern automatically makes someone unsuitable for nutrition support. Each situation is considered individually and within my professional competence.
 

Professional Support and Development

As a Registered Associate Nutritionist, I recognise the importance of ongoing professional development, appropriate mentoring and working in accordance with AfN requirements.

My individual client work is supported through mentoring from an appropriately qualified nutrition professional.

I am committed to maintaining my knowledge through continuing professional development and keeping my practice informed by current nutrition evidence and professional guidance.

Appropriate professional indemnity insurance will be in place before individual paid consultations are provided.
 

Your Responsibility

Nutrition support is a collaborative process.

You are encouraged to provide accurate and relevant information about your health, dietary habits, medication, supplements and personal circumstances so that support can be appropriately considered.

You should continue to follow advice from your GP, Registered Dietitian or other healthcare professionals involved in your care.

If your health circumstances change during the course of nutrition support, please let me know.
