MY BACKGROUND
I’m a Registered Dietitian and hold a Ph.D. earned from the esteemed University of Surrey in the United Kingdom. My doctoral research, conducted in partnership with the NestlĂ© Research Centre in Switzerland, delved into the intricate relationship between “Nutrition and Metabolism.” My professional journey has taken me from the Department of Public Health and Clinical Nutrition at the University of Kuopio in Finland to my native Greece, where I’ve continued to offer personalized dietary advice and nutritional support for various health concerns.
My expertise spans a spectrum of conditions, from devising strategies to combat childhood obesity to addressing osteoporosis and malnutrition in older adults. I’ve also assisted women navigating breast cancer and gynecological cancer, as well as children on the autism spectrum and individuals grappling with Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, I provide specialized nutritional support for athletes, optimizing their performance through tailored dietary plans. Furthermore, I offer guidance to individuals seeking to lose weight, emphasizing the importance of balanced nutrition for sustainable and healthy weight management.
During the day, I fulfill the role of Program Leader within an undergraduate Dietetics program at a college in Greece. I’m also actively engaged in clinical research studies, collaborating with public universities in Greece. Additionally, I’ve collaborated with organic food companies to pioneer innovative functional foods. My commitment to staying abreast of the latest advancements in nutrition and health is evident through my active participation in international, European, and Greek conferences, symposia, seminars, and workshops. Furthermore, I’ve contributed articles to peer-reviewed international scientific journals, aiming to share valuable insights and research findings with the global community.
