Senior clinical nutritionist delivering evidence-based metabolic health solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior clinical nutritionist with over 10 years of experience in medical nutrition therapy, weight management, dietary planning, supplements, functional foods, and product formulation and labelling. I have conducted more than 17,000 individual clinical consultations and supported clinical trials that demonstrated meaningful long-term weight loss.
I have led product research and formulation efforts including protein blends, functional beverages, ready-to-eat meals, and validated nutritional labelling and claims in compliance with EU regulations, contributing to annual supplement sales of approximately €130,000. I have also supervised food service operations, ensured HACCP and EU legislation conformity, and created hospital menus aligned with clinical dietary guidelines.
I seek remote opportunities where I can apply evidence-based, science-driven nutrition strategies to improve metabolic health and long-term wellbeing, while collaborating with R&D, marketing, and clinical teams to develop scalable, compliant nutrition products and services.
