SPECIALIST DIABETES DIETITIAN
I am a registered dietitian and founder of J Nutrition. I thoroughly enjoy working with people and thrives on supporting them in achieving their goals. I have a wealth of experience in the field of food, nutrition and health. I have worked with a wide range of people in a variety of settings including community, hospital, private healthcare and corporate. I also understand that food and eating is a lifestyle and can offer practical tips to change habits of a lifetime.
I have a background in Biochemistry which gives me the ability to really understand the science behind metabolism and various mechanisms in the body. My passion for nutrition and health led me to complete an Msc in Nutrition and Diploma in Dietetics at Kings College London and go onto become a Registered Dietitian. I currently balance my work at J Nutrition with ongoing work in a large NHS trust in Camden, as a lead specialist dietitian in diabetes. I have specialist interest in this area and am the NW/NE London regional representative for the Diabetes Management and Education Group (DMEG). I am also a media spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association (BDA).
I am dedicated to continuously improving my knowledge and skills to ensure that my advice is based on the latest scientific evidence, I am currently training towards a Diploma in Sports Nutrition.
