Nutrition Talks and Cooking Demonstrations for Workplaces
The Challenge Facing UK Workplaces
Employee wellbeing has never mattered more to UK businesses. Sickness absence is now at its highest level in over a decade, with employees averaging 9.4 days off work last year, and presenteeism, coming into work unwell, is proving even more costly. Most HR professionals now report seeing staff working while ill on a regular basis, with the average employee spending more than two weeks a year doing so.
The wellbeing landscape is shifting too. Menopause support, for example, is moving from a nice to have to a legal requirement for larger employers from 2027. Forward thinking companies are increasingly recognising that proactive, preventative support, rather than reacting once someone is off sick, is where real value lies.
Nutrition sits right at the heart of that shift.
Why Nutrition at Work
The health of your employees is closely tied to the performance of your business. When people feel well, energised and clear headed, that shows up in their work. My talks give teams the tools to make small, realistic changes to their diet that lead to genuinely better energy, focus and resilience throughout the working day.
My Story
About Rosie Cardoe Nutrition
Before I trained as a nutritional therapist, I spent thirty years working professionally in kitchens, as a private chef, a cookery teacher and even running a chalet in the French Alps. That background means I understand food from every angle, not just what the science says, but what actually works on a plate, in a lunchbox or at a busy desk.
I bring that same practical, no nonsense approach into every talk and demonstration I deliver. My advice is grounded in proper nutritional science, but it never feels like a lecture. It feels like something people can genuinely use from the moment they walk out of the room.
What I Offer
Every session is designed to be engaging, informative and packed with advice that's easy to put into practice straight away. Attendees leave with simple recipes and a take home booklet, so the changes continue well beyond the session itself.

Eating Well Through Menopause and Beyond
Nutrition for hormones, mood and long term health

mid-afternoon.

A prepared tasting plate can replace the live demonstration without losing the flavour of the session.

ARE THESE THE ONLY TALKS THAT YOU DO?
A talk can be tailored to a particular team, appropriate to your needs or to a seasonal theme such as Stress Awareness Day or World Menopause Day, on request.
