The Journal Club – May 2026
with Chen Saat Murphy MSc, PgcertHE, dipNT, mNTOI
The Journal Club quarterly sessions are open to practising and non-practising Nutritional Therapists, Nutrition & Health Coaching graduates, and current students. The sessions are designed to build confidence in reading and understanding scientific literature. You will learn to use primary evidence meaningfully to support decision-making in practice. You will also develop an understanding of the controversies and limitations of this data, within the context of Nutritional Therapy and Nutrition & Health Coaching.
These sessions will also aim to keep you up to date in terms of new and important research that is being published, as well as covering some historical and seminal papers that helped to shape our current knowledge or affect government guidelines.
Strong research, analytical thinking, and critical evaluation skills are essential for all wellness professionals. While these abilities are developed during diploma training, they should be continually refined and applied in practice. Strengthening these skills not only enhances your own professional work, but also contributes to raising standards and credibility across the entire wellness industry.
In this May 2026 session, we will be taking an in-depth look at a recently published study on GLP-1 receptor agonists, critically evaluating its findings and methodologies, and exploring what its results might mean for both clinicians and clients in this rapidly evolving area.
Once you register, we will send you a link to the resource and the form to help you prepare in advance.
