Food is more than just nutrients; it influences a nation’s GDP, serves as the first line of defense, and shapes national identity. As the most accessible science, it affects everyone’s lives, yet its complexities span biology, physiology, microbiology, and chemistry. Understanding food is more intricate than it seems, engaging taste buds, emotions, imaginations, and even influencing government decisions.

Nutrition and health start on the farm and extend through the food industry. Understanding how products contribute to healthy diets is crucial. My expertise covers diverse food topics from Wagyu beef and oysters to functional foods and infant formula for premature babies. I combine deep research skills with an understanding of human behavior to help you navigate and lead in a rapidly evolving field.

I specialize in food and nutrition science with a knack for “”edutainment””—combining education with entertainment. My passion lies in translating complex concepts into engaging insights tailored for individuals, private companies, tertiary institutions, media outlets, and industry sectors.
