Eleanor Whitfield
Eleanor Whitfield is a London-based writer and qualified nutrition professional who founded Talomera Letters in early 2025. Her interest is in the observational record: what people actually eat, how they describe their relationship with food, and where the gap between intention and practice opens. She holds qualifications in nutritional science and has worked in independent wellness settings for eleven years.
Before founding the publication, Eleanor kept a personal food journal for seven consecutive years. The patterns she noticed across those years — the seasonal shifts, the way activity changed eating, the subtle architecture of habitual food choices — became the editorial foundation for Talomera Letters. The publication exists, in her view, because the gap between nutritional research and everyday eating practice is poorly documented in accessible writing.
She writes the majority of the publication's featured articles, typically from her own field records and from the observations of practitioner colleagues. She is responsible for the editorial direction, the second-review process, and the publication's position on sponsored content: there is none.

Tobias is a registered nutrition practitioner whose work focuses on the relationship between physical activity and eating patterns. He writes from his own parallel training and food logs, and contributes field records on how movement shapes the daily nutritional rhythm.

Talomera Letters considers submissions from qualified nutrition professionals, food researchers, and practitioner writers whose work engages with everyday dietary patterns and weight awareness. The editorial process requires source citation and a second review before publication. Commercial affiliations must be disclosed.
How the publication began
Talomera Letters was founded in January 2025 as a personal archive of practitioner observations that had nowhere else to go. The journal format — short field records, seasonal observations, pattern documentation — was chosen because it suited the nature of the material: not prescriptions, not protocols, but observations accumulated across time and practice.
The name Talomera carries no specialist or institutional meaning. It was chosen for its legibility and for the absence of any existing association in nutrition writing. The publication deliberately avoids the vocabulary of health-product marketing: there are no plans, no programmes, no promises. The record is the thing.
From the second issue onwards, Talomera Letters established its editorial process: a first draft by the primary author, a second review by a named contributor, a correction policy that is publicly stated, and a firm position on commercial independence. These principles are detailed in the Editorial Standards section of the publication.
The editorial office where field notes are written up, sources verified, and the seasonal produce record is maintained. Open Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00.
