The Health Kick and Louise Mercieca - Nutritional Therapist and Author,
Early Years Nutrition Consulting & Writing Services
I am able to critically evaluate your menu and feedback on all aspects of formative nutrition, does the menu support early years health in every area not just making sure children are full?
I also love writing and produce many articles linking nutrition and health.
I have provided content for Apps and information for eBooks.
​
There's a lot more to feeding a child than filling a child!

"Louise stood out to me as not only was she passionate about what she was trying to achieve – improvements in nutrition for Early Years but was also pragmatic to understand commercial requirements needed to produce large scale quantities.
​
Louise has helped us validate our menus and ensured we are making dishes that improve children’s outcomes
​
Louise is passionate about what she does and this rubs off on us all and helps educate us. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Louise to any one"

“It is easy to access lots of recipes and menus for the Early Years sector, however, it is very rare indeed to have the nutritional benefits explained.
Louise has an exceptional skill at sharing her knowledge of nutrition for young children in a way that is clear, practical and easy to implement. This is especially true of complex issues such as childhood obesity, sugar consumption and the links between health, nutrition and sport.
​
Louise has used her nutritional knowledge, communication skills and clear ideas for the benefit of the Early Years sector worldwide.

“Louise is one of the current subject specialist authors supporting CACHE Alumni members to stay up to date with best practice and further their own knowledge of different aspects of their specialism online. Each month,
Louise writes brilliant educational articles, full of information, for our members in Health, Social Care and Early Years Education. These have been well received and, from an editor’s point of view, are incredibly well written.

“Louise from the Health Kick has provided us with some fantastic content to help educate parents through our app. With her help, we've been able to share really important information about child nutrition to over 100,000 active parents. The knowledge Louise has shared is helping these parents to understand the impacts of nutrition and help to improve their children's overall health. She is extremely knowledgeable and great to work with! “

I have been a judge for The Nourish Awards for the last three years.
​
These are the UK's leading health food award and we judges certainly make it tough!
We launched the Kids awards in 2021 and are striving to make sure that there are industry changes around foods aimed at children. Believe me when I say this is needed for the future health of the next generation.
