Her expertise is sharing what’s new and what’s actually working in the field of nutrition, giving learners the tools they need to stay on top of evidence-based advice and get ahead of the curve – from nutrition biochemistry, appetite and eating psychology, to nutritional neuroscience, nutritional genetics and epigenetics, and gut microbiomics.

As a leading science educator and researcher, Alex has authored 50+ science reports on health and nutrition, written and edited 1,000s of commentaries on trending scientific topics, and led the curriculum design and content for 15+ accredited Certifications and 70+ Continuing Education courses at The Health Sciences Academy – equipping nutrition professionals with the latest tools to help their own clients and stand out in the field.

Alex keeps running research studies with 100,000,000s of data points relating to health/diet attitudes, beliefs and behaviours and the influence of nutrition science education alongside University College London and The Health Sciences Academy’s educational platform.

Her most recent research at UCL looks at the main sources of nutrition misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic, their influence on eating behaviour change, and what makes us believe in harmful food and eating practices, so we can successfully debias these and mitigate the risk of health harm. Alex’s COVID-19 food/nutrition misinformation research press releases can be found at University College London and The Health Sciences Academy.
