The Dr Anneline Solution
Why I’m here
The food industry is a maze of choices: real meat or plant-based alternatives? Cow’s milk or almond, oat, or even hemp? Kale or silverbeet? Organic or conventional? Tinned, frozen, or fresh? It’s complicated—because food and nutrition are rarely black and white. They’re shaped by culture, consumers, and context. After all, cake has its rightful place at a birthday party!
Food is more than the sum of its nutrients. While nutrient content matters, so do variety, portion size, and frequency. And let’s not forget the digestive system’s role in breaking down, absorbing, and using those nutrients. To truly improve diet quality, we need to look beyond single ingredients or specific nutrients to the bigger picture and the complexity of whole foods. Farmers kick-start the nutrition and health cycle. Policymakers, peak bodies, and the food industry should be encouraged create foods that align with health goals. And consumers deserve clear, accessible information to make the best healthy choices for their lives.
That’s where I come in—to advocate, inform, and demystify. Food isn’t just science; it’s connection, culture, and joy. My mission is to share my unique blend of nutritional and food science expertise to add context and clarity, bridging the gap between science, history, and culture. Let’s make sense of the world of food together.
Dr Anneline is here to educate and empower consumers, food industry, peak bodies, and policymakers.

This is a lot more than just nutrition or just science
When I speak about nutrition, it’s not just from a scientific perspective—I’ve seen its power firsthand.
In 2020, I had a fall after taking medication I was allergic to, leading to a brain injury and an 18 month hospital recovery. I had to relearn how to walk, move and for a while, I couldn’t eat normal food. As a nutritional food scientist, it was frustrating to face a choice between unappetizing, formulated goo or an IV drip. With 3 degrees and nearly 20 years in the food and nutrition space, my body wasn’t the only thing in trouble—my food and nutrition career seemed to be shattered by this too. I'd never been majorly ill before, so everything I believed, had studied, and known to be truth was being challenged. But there was one thing I knew how to do: Research.
While in the hospital, I spent my time researching different nutrients and their role in cell regeneration. I created a supplement regime to hopefully reduce some of the medication I was on, and after six weeks, both my digestive system and biomarkers improved, and continued to do so with no need to return to my medications. The progress exceeded everyone’s expectations, including mine.
To be clear I am not against medical treatment.
Nutrition and medicine are both sciences. They are NOT mutually exclusive.
I believe nutrients have a fundamental role in fueling every single cell in our body.
Nutrition and medicine can work together.
I feel deeply grateful for my understanding of food science, but also a responsibility to those who don’t have the same knowledge. Nutrition goes beyond just nutrients, weight loss, or bulking; what farmers produce, the food industry creates, and what consumers eat all directly impact health.
Working with food comes with a responsibility considering its effects on health.
