With a passion for busting the misinformation and conflicting messages that abound on the topic of nutrition and lifestyle choices for the health of both us and our planet, Jo says:
“My goal is to translate the science and emerging research into what that really means for us all, now and in the future, in terms of what and how we eat, and the lifestyle choices we make, to help us to look and feel our best at every age, while giving us the best chance of optimal health. Importantly it should add joy and pleasure to life, not take it away! At the same time, we increasingly have to think about how these choices impact the health of our planet, shaping the way we eat in the future.”
