About Nicole Adams
Nicole Adams is the lead editor at NutritionPromise. She holds a Master of Public Health (MPH), is a Registered Dietitian (RD), and a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) — a sports-and-public-health blend that shapes the editorial approach: claims have to clear both the clinical-evidence bar and the practical-real-world bar before they make it onto the site. Her background includes work on community nutrition programmes and one-to-one coaching for active adults, and she reviews every article on NutritionPromise before publication.
Credentials
- MPH (Master of Public Health) — graduate training in epidemiology, biostatistics, and population-level nutrition policy. This is the qualification that shapes how Nicole reads research: study design, confounders, effect sizes, and what generalises from a controlled trial to a real population.
- RD (Registered Dietitian) — the protected, regulated credential for clinical nutrition practice. RDs complete an accredited dietetics programme, a supervised practicum of 1,000+ hours, and a national board exam, then maintain it with ongoing continuing-education requirements.
- CPT (Certified Personal Trainer) — accredited training in exercise science, programming, and behaviour change. The CPT layer is what keeps the site's writing on protein, performance, and body composition tied to how people actually move and recover, not just how they eat.
Areas of expertise
Nicole's editorial focus on NutritionPromise sits at the intersection of three areas:
- Evidence-based dietetics — translating peer-reviewed nutrition research into practical, day-to-day decisions. Most of the site's writing on vitamins, minerals, supplements, and macronutrients lives here.
- Sports and performance nutrition — protein requirements, fuelling around training, recovery, and supplements with real performance evidence (creatine, caffeine, omega-3) versus those without.
- Public-health nutrition — the bigger picture: chronic-disease prevention, blood-sugar and metabolic health, gut health, inflammation, and the dietary patterns that move outcomes at population scale.
Editorial role at NutritionPromise
Nicole reviews every article on NutritionPromise before it goes live. The review checks three things: (1) every claim that needs evidence has a primary source linked to it, (2) the recommendation is consistent with current public-health guidance from bodies like the NIH, NHS, ISSN, and EFSA, and (3) the article is honest about what the evidence does not show — no overstating preliminary findings, no manufacturing certainty where the literature is mixed.
Articles are revisited at least once a year for any topic where someone might change their diet or supplements based on what they read here, and sooner whenever a meaningful new study or guideline lands. The "Last reviewed" date on every article reflects the most recent end-to-end check.
