Food for Thought
Optimizing health and wellness requires a physically active lifestyle coupled with exercise training and smart nutrition. If you have an interest in food, you are familiar with the outlandish claims about food, nutrition and eating patterns that abound. Decisions made about personal nutritional health or performance objectives are at risk of being sidetracked by widely accessible mis- and dis-information. Partnering with nutrition professionals can help you to stay on track with the ever-evolving, evidence-based science to better inform your client practices and information sharing.
As a Registered Dietitian, Exercise Specialist, and Behavioural Scientist, Dr. Mansfield conducts health-focused client interventions and research using evidence-based analysis in a systematic way to answer practical nutrition-related concerns/questions.
