Cathie (like many Dietitians loves food) and likes all areas of nutrition from the many components in food, research about eating patterns and health, how food is used by the body and what it needs, how to keep people healthy with supplemental feeds while they can’t eat and the practicalities of cooking for one to five hundred!
Cathie is interested in diabetes, heart health, adults with intellectual and physical disability requiring nutrition support, coeliac disease and other food issues with intestines, sports nutrition and all aspects of weight management from motivation, non dieting strategies, meal planning, non-hungry eating, research on use of medications to help with weight management and lap banding surgery.
