In 2014, faced with a sudden chronic and life-threatening illness, I turned to online resources in search of nutritional guidance to aid my recovery. Among the vast sea of information, I encountered contradictions and complexities, making it challenging to discern fact from fiction.

Understanding nutrition is a common goal for many, whether driven by personal health, weight management, athletic performance, or simple curiosity in health trends. Yet, the realm of nutrition often feels overwhelming, tangled in conflicting information and scientific jargon. Online research can yield inconsistent results, often leading to confusion and doubt.

Recognising this challenge first-hand, I was motivated to gain professional knowledge in nutrition. I earned a diploma in Nutritional Therapy followed by a Master of Science in Personalised Nutrition and even had my dissertation published. My academic journey has helped me to develop the critical thinking skills needed to assess research papers and evaluate the quality of the science behind various nutritional claims. Nutrition is a complex and ever evolving field, with many nuances regarding how individual dietary components influence health outcomes.

This insight led me to create Nutri-Savvy Living, a blog dedicated to simplifying nutrition and delivering clear, evidence-based information. My goal is to dissect complex nutritional concepts, provide practical tips, share thought-provoking articles and analyse current trends and research in nutrition.  The blog aims to empower readers, guiding them toward a deeper understanding of nutrition and helping them make informed, healthier choices. Being ‘’Nutri-Savvy’’ means making educated decisions about foods, from deciphering labels at the supermarket to understanding the science behind nutrients, and how they support optimal health. At its core, Nutri-Savvy Living emphasises that enjoyment of food and good nutrition are not mutually exclusive but rather two essential elements of a healthy lifestyle.
