Dawn’s Q & A:


What is your favorite meal? One that I can eat slowly without rushing! It’s usually fish and vegetables, but I enjoy all fresh fish, and I am partial to some good cheeses.
How do you stay fit? I love walking and hiking. I used to play competitive field hockey. I once walked 12 miles in a day from East to West London when I was pregnant! Now, I try to walk 10,000 steps every day or use the treadmill.
Who is your nutrition mentor or hero? Again, there are too many to list, but Professor John Yudkin, Dr. David Perlmutter and Chris Kresser are all on my list.
What do you read? Mostly published scientific peer-reviewed journals, but also nutrition newsletters, books, blogs etc.gs
What sports team(s) do you follow? I cheer for everyone participating, but I usually support the underdog. I volunteered as nutritionist for British Paralympic Association.
