The rise of Anti-Obesity Medications (AOMs) presents a unique opportunity (and moral obligation) for the food and beverage industry to provide tailored support for individuals on their weight management journey. As personalised nutrition experts, these are our top tips to succeed in this space: 💪 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: AOM-related weight loss often includes a significant loss of muscle mass (20-40%). This highlights the critical need for high-protein, low-calorie food and beverage options to support muscle health and prevent sarcopenia. 🫃 𝐆𝐮𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭: Many AOM users report gastrointestinal side effects. Formulating products with easily digestible ingredients, prebiotics, and probiotics can significantly improve their overall experience and adherence to treatment. ❤️🩹 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭: Quick fixes don't work! Weight regain after discontinuing AOMs is a huge challenge. Developing strategies and products that promote satiety and support long-term weight maintenance is absolutely crucial. But success isn't just about profits. At inewtrition, we hold ourselves to very high standards - Honesty, transparency, and accountability are essential, inseparable components, without which nothing we aspire to can be achieved. Remember, our solutions have the power to change lives. #weightmanagement #personalisednutrition #AOM #healthandwellness #nutrition #foodscience

Did you know that after the age of 30, we lose 3-5% of muscle mass per decade without active maintenance? As a women in my 50s and several personal changes over the decade, exercise has been an absolute game changer for my physical and mental health, independence, and quality of life. I'd like to encourage my fellow colleagues to get your sweat on. It's rare that I see women (and men!) of our age sharing their fitness journey. My instagram feed is filled with youth donning athleisure, posting their favourite gym exercises, meal prep recipes and health hacks. But let's be clear: age is just a number. We, too, can prioritise our health and fitness and reap the incredible benefits. It's time to redefine what "fit at 50+" (or 60, 70, and beyond!) looks like. I may not be the young 6ft tall model that is commonplace on social media, but today is the day I unashamedly start to share MY health and wellness journey in the hope that it too inspires YOU to pick up your running shoes. A huge thank you Shane O'Connor from FealeFit for pushing me harder with each session! I expect to be very sore tomorrow 😆 I would love to connect with other women to share experiences and perhaps even a workout!

To put it simply, there is only one way to succeed in this business - risk mitigation. The first critical question we ask any business is "How are you adapting your product development and innovation strategies to mitigate the risks of new product failure while still capturing growth opportunities?" Are you: ➖ Committed to rigorous consumer research and insights? ➖ Actively vetting ideas and killing bad projects early? ➖ Balancing core product innovation with strategic, disruptive innovation? ➖ Leveraging data analytics to identify opportunities and mitigate risks? ➖ Adapting at speed to market changes? ➖ Collaborating with suppliers to ensure supply chain reliability? ➖ Dedicating resources to regulatory compliance and food safety? The food and beverage industry is ripe with opportunity, but also fraught with risk. Now, for the first time ever, inewtrition is offering a massive 20% off our time bundle retainers.

How do trends even start? The answer, in my experience, is simple: they emerge from a shift in needs. As a food scientist and consultant, I've spent years observing this dynamic in action. Broad trends like 'healthy lifestyles' branch out into specific consumer needs. It's not just about being healthy anymore; it's about addressing specific life stages (adolescence, pregnancy, motherhood, menopause,etc), unique health challenges (diabetes, high cholestoral, dementia, etc), and even the psychological side of well-being. We also see the rise of authenticity with consumers craving 'real' food, transparent sourcing & labelling, and the desire for positive 'insperiences'. Finally, sustainability is no longer a niche concern but a mainstream expectation, and in some cases regulatory! But here's the crucial point: trends are not one-size-fits-all. While these broad categories give us a valuable framework to start, true success lies in understanding how to personalise products and services to meet individual needs within these trends. For example, the trend of microbiome for gut health isn't simply about adding a probiotic to a product. It's about understanding the specific microbial strains that benefit different life stages, health conditions, and even individual gut microbiomes. At inewtrition, we help businesses navigate the complexities of consumer needs to deliver outstanding, profitable solutions. We don't just identify trends; we dig deeper to understand the why behind them and, most importantly, how to translate them into personalised, effective products and services. It's about combining broad trends with granular data, AI and scientific insights to create experiences that truly resonate with individual consumers. ❗❗❗ 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 ❗❗❗ It's a new year and for the first time ever, we're offering you a 20% discount on retainers.

We know that personalised nutrition IS the future, but we would be naive to think that it wouldn't come with it's own challenges. More than half of people who partake in a personalised nutrition plan seem to drop off after 6 months. Joshua C Anthony, from Nlumn sheds some light on why this is the case.

Because of my line of work, and general interest and passion for women's health, it's no surprise that my instagram feed is always pushing information about vitamins and minerals I should be taking or healthy life 'hacks' I should be implementing in my daily routine. The problem with social media is that even though the algorithms are 'personalising' your news feed, the reality is that there is no fact checking! So, with this in mind, I have put together a shortlist of key nutrients that we women need for each life stage. This list was drawn from over a dozen trusted research sources and my 20+ years of knowledge in the industry. Adolescence & Young Adulthood: ▶️ Iron: Crucial for menstruating women to prevent anemia. Non-haem iron from plant sources like fortified cereals, beans, and leafy greens is important. ▶️ Calcium: Essential for building peak bone mass. Aim for 1000 mg per day from dairy products, fortified plant milks, and leafy greens. ▶️ Vitamin D: Supports calcium absorption. Sources include sunlight exposure, fatty fish, and fortified foods. ▶️ Folate: Important for women of childbearing age. Found in leafy greens, legumes, and fortified grains. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: ▶️ Folic Acid: 400 mcg daily supplement to prevent neural tube defects. ▶️ Iron: Increased needs due to blood volume expansion. Iron-rich foods and possibly supplements are crucial. ▶️ Calcium: 1000 mg daily for foetal bone development and maternal bone health. ▶️ Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Additional 100-200 mg DHA daily for foetal brain and retina development. ▶️ Iodine: 200 mcg daily for thyroid function and foetal development. ▶️ Vitamin D: 10 mcg daily supplement recommended in the UK. Perimenopause and Menopause: ▶️ Calcium: Increased needs (1000-1200 mg daily) to combat accelerated bone loss. ▶️ Vitamin D: calcium absorption and bone health. ▶️ Omega-3 Fatty Acids: To help with mood swings and cardiovascular health. ▶️ Fiber: Aids in heart health and digestion. ▶️ Phytoestrogens: Found in soy products to alleviate common menopausal symptoms. ▶️ Magnesium: Supports bone health and may help with sleep disturbances. Post-Menopause: ▶️ Calcium and Vitamin D: Continued importance for bone health. ▶️ Protein: Higher intake (1-1.2 g/kg body weight) to maintain muscle mass and bone health. ▶️ Potassium: Helps maintain acid-base balance and prevents calcium excretion. ▶️ Vitamin K: Necessary for bone-building and bone-healing. ▶️ B Vitamins: Support energy metabolism and cognitive function. And of course, throughout all stages, a balanced diet rich in fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats is recommended. Hydration is also key, with increased needs during pregnancy and breastfeeding. I hope this helps my fellow female community out there.

The latest stats from Innova Market Insights were conclusive about the increase in women's food, beverage and #nutraceuticals. Not only is there a definite demand, there is also a desire for more personalised wellness solutions, addressing different needs across various lifestages. One of the charts that caught out eye was this one - last year, 78% of the women’s specialty targeted launches were supplements compared to 22% being food & beverage. But why? We dug a little deeper, and based on our research and own knowledge gained from 15+ years in the industry, this is what we suspect: ▶️ Convenience: Supplements offer a quick and easy way to address nutritional gaps without the need for significant lifestyle changes. ▶️ Perceived health benefits: Many women believe that supplements can ensure against possible ill health, even if they already have a balanced diet. ▶️ Media influence: Books and magazines strongly influence women's decisions to use supplements, often promoting their benefits. ▶️ Aging concerns: As women get older, they may turn to supplements to address age-related nutritional needs, such as calcium for bone health. ▶️ Personalised health goals: Supplements generally contain speciality ingredients that can target particular health concerns, like iron for anemia or folic acid during pregnancy. ▶️ Difficulty in dietary changes: Some women may find it challenging to consistently meet their nutritional needs through diet alone, making supplements an attractive option. ▶️ Social and psychological factors: The decision to use supplements is often complex, involving social norms and personal beliefs about health and wellness. ▶️ Misconceptions about effectiveness: There's a common belief that "a little of something is good and a lot of something must be better," which may lead to overuse of supplements. Let us know if you think this is accurate or if there are any other reasons we might have overlooked. #womenshealth #femalehealth #personalisednutrition #customisednutrition

Let's face it: today's shoppers are savvy. They're reading labels, researching ingredients, and demanding healthier options. It's no longer enough to just offer "tasty" or "convenient" – health and transparency are now non-negotiables. So, how can food manufacturers create products that truly resonate with this educated consumer base? Here are some key considerations we're seeing at inewtrition: 1️⃣ Consumers are increasingly wary of UPFs, and rightly so. We're advising brands to prioritise whole food ingredients, minimise harmful additives, and embrace natural preservation methods. Think swapping refined flour for whole grains or using rosemary extract instead of artificial preservatives. 2️⃣ It's time to go beyond basic nutrition facts. Consumers are looking for functional benefits, so we're seeing a surge in products fortified with fiber, plant-based protein, essential vitamins & minerals, and natural sweeteners. 3️⃣ Transparency is key. Consumers want to understand what they're putting into their bodies. This means clear, concise labeling, natural flavors and colors, and minimal processing. 4️⃣ Tech-Driven innovation: From fermentation for gut health to high-pressure processing for nutrient preservation, technology is playing a crucial role in creating healthier and more sustainable food options. 5️⃣ Taste still matters! If it doesn't taste great, no one will buy it. That's why advocate on focusing on flavour modulators, texture enhancers, and natural umami sources to ensure that healthy also means delicious. 6️⃣ Building trust is paramount. Brands need to be transparent about their ingredients, processes, and the science behind their products. Want to learn more?
