Evidence-based nutrition advice for a healthy and happy life!
About Me
Hi, I’m Fofe*, principal nutritionist at Bowral Nutrition and certified Microba testing practitioner. I pride myself in having a common sense approach which complements my scientific training.
The eldest of my 3 children has an ASD/ADHD diagnosis. At the age of 9, he was also diagnosed with ODD (Oppositional Defiance Disorder). A change in diet at this time made such an enormous difference to his quality of life, that it inspired me to become a nutrition scientist. Working in the disability sector further inspired me to undertake postgraduate study to become a specialist dietitian.
* Fun fact about me: My name rhymes with ‘coffee’ – one of my favourite things!
The Bowral Nutrition philosophy is that…
- food is key to optimal health
- nutrition advice must be personalised
- our microbiomes (gut; skin; oral) play a significant role in our health and wellbeing
