Three key experiences have shaped my drive to challenge the status quo. First, losing my sister at a young age due to a medical mistake made me deeply unwilling to accept things being done incorrectly—especially when we have the science to do better. When knowledge isn’t applied, people suffer. That is why I am committed to ensuring people have access to evidence-based choices and the education to make informed decisions about their health.

Second, being raised by a single mum taught me resilience. Watching her work full-time to support us made me determined to push forward, no matter the obstacles. I have faced my fair share of rejections, but like her, I see them as fuel. Whether in probiotics, the food industry, or clinical practice, I believe that if we can do better, we should—by translating the latest science into real-world impact.

I have dedicated my career to challenging misinformation and making evidence-based choices more accessible. It is frustrating to see health trends gaining traction online with no scientific backing—often at a high financial cost and, in some cases, causing real harm.
