Driven with passion

After practicing as a clinical dietitian for over 25 years, I grew increasingly frustrated with inconsistent patient outcomes and began questioning the efficacy of standard dietary approaches. Curious about the varying responses among my patients to cholesterol-lowering diets, I cautiously introduced vitamin and mineral supplements, despite their unconventional use in our field. Little did I know, this marked the beginning of a transformative journey.

Seeking more personalised solutions, I delved into Nutrigenomics a decade ago, driven by the need for genetic insights that could tailor dietary interventions more precisely. Recognizing the need for further expertise, I pursued accreditations as a DNAlysis and 3X4 practitioner, and completed advanced training in Manuka Science's Translational Nutrigenomics, solidifying my commitment to personalised nutrition solutions. This pursuit led me to specialize in sourcing high-quality supplements, a daunting task that mirrored the confusion many patients faced. Sharing this knowledge with you to improve your health is both my mission and passion.
