Food for Thought - why I write articles

Like the bird, I don’t write because I can. I write because I have something to say.

Food for Thought is where you’ll find the most recent of the more than >200 referenced articles that I’ve written that explain the science of health and nutrition in terms that anyone can understand.

At the bottom of this page are a few of my client’s personal health journeys, in their own words.

If you are looking for an older article written before 2020, don’t worry. They are available in the  Food for Thought – archived articles. Also available there is my personal health and recovery journey titled “A Dietitian’s Journey”.

If you would like to know more about the types of services I provide as a Registered Dietitian licensed in Canada, please visit the landing page of this website.
