Welcome to the Humans of Nutrition Podcast brought to you by Registered Nutritionists Anna Wheeler and Prof Danielle McCarthy.

In this podcast Anna and Danielle share the thinking they have done following a recent experience they had convening a cross-sector workshop (Spoon Guru: Exploring the Potential of Technology in NPM 2018 Implementation) andwhat it revealed about risk, growth and the future of food, health and digital ecosystems.

As part of her role at Spoon Guru, Danielle initiated the workshop to consider what the role of technology might be in the implementation of the 2018 nutrient profiling model.Stimulus was provided by Danielle and Maisie Rowland (Spoon Guru), Lewis Wallis (Campden BRI) and Hannah Skeggs (IGD); with Anna facilitating the session.

Attendees were leaders from right across the food system including retailers, manufacturers, food service, academics, government representatives from DHSC, charities and technology experts.

With food, health and digital ecosystems being increasinglyinterconnected, nutrition capability may become either a source of competitive advantage or a growing source of risk.

The future challenge isn't simply understanding nutritionscience. It's understanding how nutrition science interacts with technology, regulation, commercial realities and implementation.

Listen to Anna and Danielle outline:

· Convergence of food, health, and digital ecosystems

· Organisational readiness and capability building

· Regulatory scrutiny and market expectations

· Impact of AI, wearables, and personalised nutrition

· Cross-sector collaboration and running a solution-focusedworkshop

· Risks and opportunities in food innovation

· Strategic leadership in nutrition and digital health

Welcome to the Humans of Nutrition Podcast brought to you by Registered Nutritionists Anna Wheeler and Prof Danielle McCarthy.

In this podcast Anna and Danielle discuss the question: "As food, health and technology converge, what challenges and opportunities are emerging for business leaders?"Listen in to hear Anna and Danielle explore:

1. how digital environments are increasingly shaping food decisions
2. why regulation, AI and prevention agendas are converging
3. the growing operational pressure facing organisations
4. why better nutrition infrastructure may become increasingly important across retail, health and digital ecosystems

Importantly, this isn’t a conversation about technology replacing people, it’s about how organisations navigate increasingly complex systems while balancing:

• health

• commercial realities

• consumer expectations

• implementation pressures

Some of the themes discussed includes:
→ digital food environments
→ GLP-1 and dietary support
→ compliance and operational strain
→ agentic AI
→ nutrition intelligence infrastructure

We would genuinely love to hear perspectives from others working across food, retail, digital health, policy and innovation. Get in touch!

Welcome to the Humans of Nutrition Podcast brought to you by Registered Nutritionists Anna Wheeler and Prof Danielle McCarthy.

Nutrition Talent celebrated 8 years ‘in the business’ in February. In this podcast Anna and Danielle reflect onthe past 8 years of Nutrition Talent!

Nutrition Talent’s aim has always been to create value for nutrition professionals, for recruitment clients and for nutrition consultancy clients. While reflecting back over the 8 years, they muse over 8 key themes that have contributed to their entrepreneurial success, but also how they intend to build on 8 years of partnership to continue to connectexpertise, drive change and generate impact.

Change is a central theme throughout - the evolving nutrition landscape, changes to working arrangements, changes to how health is viewed in the industry. For example, in 2018, most nutrition conversations happened within specialist teams. In 2026, CEOs, innovation directors and commercial leaders are asking entirely different questions and so the role of nutrition within business has fundamentally changed.

The organisations succeeding are not necessarily those reacting fastest, but those adapting intelligently. The challenge for organisations is no longer whether health matters. It is how to respond credibly, strategically andsustainably.

At Nutrition Talent, we have been successful in helping organisations navigate the changing health landscapewith clarity, confidence and human insights; an aspect of our work we are incredibly proud of.

The health landscape will continue to evolve rapidly, and Nutrition Talent will continue to evolve too - so in the next 8 years and beyond, we can continue doing what we love: connecting expertise, driving change and generating realimpact.
