Dr Carrie Ruxton, PhD, Barnnutrition
Dietist och hälsoförfattare
PhD, Barnnutrition
Dr Carrie Ruxton kvalificerade sig som dietist vid Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, innan hon tog en doktorsexamen i barnnutrition.
Her work has been published widely in academic and health professional literature but she loves to write for the general public to bring to life the hugely interesting topics of diet and nutrition science.
Since 2003, Carrie has worked in a freelance capacity as a health writer and consultant to the food industry. Her specialist topics are functional foods, weight management, children’s diets, dietary advice and supplements, despite cooking not being one of her stronger skills!
Carrie contributes regularly to TV, print media and radio, most recently on BBC’s Food Detectives.
