: About Me

I am a nutritionist by training, with a PhD in nutrition from the University of California, Davis, and a certification as a Nutrition Consultant. I have coauthored two books, one on nutritional biochemistry and one on selenium, published a dozen or so research papers in peer-reviewed journals, and written articles for the lay public in the area of nutrition. I have recently retired from a position of nutrition education writer at a large health food store.

I espouse whole food diets and eating lots of vegetables, though I'm not a vegetarian. I enjoy cooking and vegetable gardening.
