My research interests are broadly focused on the application of nutrition in three distinct contexts:

i. Metabolic health: Lifestyle prevention and management of chronic conditions characterised by insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia, including prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and related metabolic conditions.

ii. Sports nutrition: Recreational and elite athletes.

iii. Food quality and digital health: The development of digital tools to classify food according to its level of processing and scientific health benefit.

Within the first two contexts, my specialisation is in therapeutic carbohydrate reduction, including ketogenic dietary approaches, applied across both healthy and metabolically compromised population groups.
