Carolyn's Path to a Nutritionist
Like many other nutritionists my career path was guided by a passion for good food and a desire to feel at my best. I was inspired by the late Roger Williams who wrote “Biochemical Individuality” which remains one of the most important books on this topic. Each time I was offered the opportunity to become a research nutritionist or a dietitian I was fortunate enough to qualify for a research position. Now I have found a way to link both clinical and research nutrition passions and I am delighted to share these insights with you.
