As a nutritional epidemiologist and dietitian, I study the connections between food and health. I’ve been working in this field for over 15 years as a researcher, nutrition counselor, lecturer, teacher, and health and medical writer. I’m interested in addressing something I call nutritional fear mongering… the daily drumbeat about what food is “poison” or which dietary ingredient is “toxic.” My goals include:

1. Bringing truth, and sanity, back into the discussion
2. Removing the fear and anxiety around food and health
3. Helping people make informed choices about what they are eating and why
