Promoting Evidence-Based Nutrition in Estonia
The Estonian Society of Nutrition Advisors and Therapists (ESNAT) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to advancing evidence-based nutrition and high-quality nutrition counselling in Estonia. The association brings together people from different backgrounds who share an interest in reliable nutrition information and the development of the profession.
Qualified nutrition advisors and nutrition therapists can join ESNAT as full members. People interested in evidence-based, balanced nutrition may join as supporting members to contribute to the association’s work and the achievement of its objectives.
ESNAT works to ensure that professional and evidence-based perspectives are represented in decisions concerning nutrition and public health. We cooperate with government institutions, educational institutions, healthcare organisations, professional bodies and other partners to strengthen the role of qualified nutrition professionals in health promotion and disease prevention.
Our activities include supporting the continuing professional development of our members, providing training, raising public awareness, developing occupational standards and advocating for the field. We promote reliable nutrition information, responsible professional practice and a clear understanding of the roles and competencies of nutrition advisors and nutrition therapists.
Since 2020, ESNAT has been the national awarding body for the professional qualifications of nutrition advisors and nutrition therapists. We assess professional competence, award qualifications and participate in developing and updating national occupational standards. Our aim is to ensure that professional requirements remain clear, up to date and aligned with advances in the field and the needs of society.
Through this work, ESNAT contributes to the quality, credibility and continued development of nutrition counselling and nutrition therapy in Estonia.
