Agnostic nutritional food science knowledge sharing in an open space

So often in nutrition, opinions and perspectives can come drenched in bias. It’s only natural that a livestock producer is going to have reservations about meat alternatives. In the same way, alternative mylk (mylk is a real word, dating back to the Scandanavian vikings who used it to name the water they used to preserve oats) processors also may feel pressure competing against traditional proteins.

Every food product has a place in society, but it's role in individual diets is dependent on individual health status, culture and how much we consume (dose). For example, alternative mylks are a healthy option for those who are lactose-intolerant, and/or cultures where dairy is not acceptable.

Dr Anneline brings an agnostic perspective to speaking events. She’s not pro-any product or industry.
She’s pro-science. And pro-nutrition.

Food and nutrition broken down in a way everyone can understand

Food science and nutrition doesn’t have to be boring. Dr Anneline breaks down everything from formulas and how they impact health, to the constraints of regulations and understanding the nutritional composition of the food you're producing, where it fits into a healthy diet, and how to communicate with key stakeholders whether that be consumers or politicians.

It’s educational content explained in a way that’s really accessible. Dr Anneline addresses food and nutrition myths and creates a solid foundation of knowledge for guests to walk away with.

Meats and dairy to complimentary proteins and other processed foods, from whole fresh fruits to juices, and everything in between, nutrition is an underpinning foundational principle.

With a diverse background in food and nutrition, on all sides of the fence (food production, science, and research), Dr Anneline has the expertise to speak on just about anything within the space. From breaking down the nutritional composition of real meat products and their alternatives, formulation improvements for infants and functional nutrition products, there are a range of factors that should be considered when creating products with health in mind for different life stages. Dr Anneline is particularly passionate about high value opportunities for food components in non-food applications like medicine, biotechnology, and waste transformation.

Your gift as a communicator is truly beyond compare."

"Anneline, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did in hosting Boot Camp last week.

In my experience, seminars like this can go two ways, especially when you have a mix of large multinationals with passionate family producers, Govt and policy institutions sat alongside naked commercial interests.

The success in pulling these diverse interests together and creating an engaging and thought provoking day for such a mix was largely due to yourself.

You set exactly the right tone for the day with your mega trend presentation and then pulled out the right mix of stories, emotion and information from the panel sessions. Your pre work research and creative "on your feet" thinking made it feel relevant and fresh. “
