- BSc Nutrition & Biochemistry
- Glutathione and Cellular Health Expert
- Certified SmartDNA Practitioner
Elaine studied Nutrition and Biochemistry at Otago University and graduated in 2012. She has since continued her education to specialize in the field of Nutrigenomics, which is the study of how our genes interact with our diet and lifestyle choices. Elaine now works as a Nutrigenomic practitioner with SmartDNA and has seen over 350 clients for DNA testing and consultations.
Elaine is passionate about empowering people to take ownership of their health outcomes rather than waiting for disease or illness to strike before making the right diet and lifestyle choices.
While most nutritionists will factor for diet and lifestyle, Elaine also considers her client’s genetics, gut microbiome balance and food sensitivities. Her biochemistry studies means she has great understanding of cellular health, genetics and metabolism and goes a step further than most Nutritionists would when it comes to treating her clients.
Elaine is fascinated by the body’s innate antioxidant defense systems and specialises in glutathione enhancement, which is essential for the body's natural detoxification pathways.
Elaine believes in taking the guesswork out of nutrition, through getting your DNA tested. Elaine's aim is to make all her nutrition guidance accurate and relevant to her clients needs, so they can live at their best and prevent disease through making smart diet and lifestyle choices.
