About Us

Nutritank was founded in 2016 by our exceptional multi award winning co founders, Dr Ally Jaffee and Dr Iain Broadley. They became acutely aware whilst in medical school that there was a lack of education and awareness regarding nutrition and lifestyle medicine, and how these interventions can be recommended to patients to improve their health.

Nutrition Education for Modern Healthcare

Nutritank is an innovative and trailblazing organisation that fills this gap in education by providing accessible education for medics and other health professionals on various topics pertaining to nutrition and lifestyle medicine, including exercise, sleep and mental wellbeing. Nutritank does this by providing regular webinars to health care professionals and a membership (a hub of information and educational resources and CPD).
