Questions for the members of Nourrir la vie

As a member of Nourrir la vie, you have full and free access to a range of resources on our platform, specially designed to meet your realities and needs.

Additionally, you can share your needs with us and ask questions to our team of nutritionists, lactation consultants, and social and community workers. You can also receive our newsletter to stay informed about new updates and upcoming events.

Your member profile allows you to personalize your preferences and areas of interest, making it easier to access relevant content. You can also favorite your preferred resources for quick and easy access to their latest version.

Members have access to:

  • Articles that help you understand the science behind the recommendations;
  • Case studies that provide guidance for supporting your clients facing various challenges;
  • Webinars, available live or on-demand;
  • Practical tools designed for your use or to share with your clients.
  • We also offer content accessible to everyone, such as simplified articles, news updates, and video clips.

Webinars are typically recorded and uploaded to the Nourrir la vie platform a few weeks after the live session. Members can access them by logging into their account and visiting the 'Webinars' section.

Our tools are divided into two categories: for you or for your clients.

The tools intended for your clients provide a summary of key messages on various topics in a visual and easy-to-read format. They are designed to be printed and handed out to clients or simply sent by email as a PDF document to enhance their knowledge on relevant topics.

The tools intended for you are summarized documents aimed at offering you guidance for supporting your clients or summarizing key concepts related to perinatal nutrition to enhance your own knowledge. They are designed to be easy to consult and printable.

The content on our platform is primarily reserved for members of Nourrir la vie. If you would like your colleagues to benefit from it, we encourage you to invite them to become members of Nourrir la vie as well. This ensures their access to the latest versions of the content and supports our program.
