About Me

 

I have worked extensively in the field of nutrition and dietetics, gaining experience in several areas including academia, NHS and private practice dietetics, the food and retail industry, public health and health charities.  Many of my roles have also involved public relations, food science and dealing with the regulatory side of food and health.  My nutrition knowledge and expertise have meant that I have built up strong contacts in academia, industry and the media, as well as being well recognised and respected in the area of nutrition and dietetics.

I am an established author, having recently written a book on women’s health, which has now become a best seller.  I have also written chapters in books, and published in journals and conference proceedings, as well as written articles for magazines and content for websites and received awards for some of my publications.

Although I have broad experience in nutrition and dietetics, I have developed specialist knowledge in many areas including women’s health, obesity, nutrition labelling and nutrient profiling.

I am a member of several organisations including the Health Professional Council, the Association for the Study of Obesity and as well as being a Registered Dietitian I am a Registered Public Health Nutritionist.  I currently sit on DEFRAs Family Food Panel.
