My research interests center around the prevention and treatment of nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). My current research focus is on the development and sustainability of an interdisciplinary culinary medicine (CM) elective for healthcare students to improve their knowledge and comfort with counseling on nutritional approaches. The overall aim is to generate healthcare professionals who are confident and proficient at communicating evidence-based nutrition information to patients at risk of or suffering from NCDs. Additionally, I engage in research related to women’s health (pregnancy and breastfeeding), osteopathic manipulative medicine, and neurodegenerative diseases.
