Lynn Burns's Linkedin Analytics

I am a Registered Nutritionist with a special interest in communicating evidence based, accessible information about food and health across life stages and particular life events. I am passionate about getting people cooking and understanding more about the science of food. I love to write and work with children and adults to get people cooking, shopping and eating better. Eating well is fundamental to improve the quality of life for those with long term health conditions. Helping people work with the challenges to eating well that their situation creates is something I enjoy. I have worked with people with arthritis, depression, cancer, MS, frail elderly, Parkinson's Disease etc and their carers. Getting information out to the carers and people living in their own homes is necessary for tackling malnutrition in the community. Together with Dr Laura Wyness we wrote Recipes for Recovery to support cancer patients to eat well through treatment to raise money for Maggie's Centres. I have several years of experience within the Government Departments both in science research, supporting advisory committees, developing nutrition policy and communicating nutrition information to the general public. I undertake recipe analysis, develop on line course and have several writing projects. I am co-founder and moderator of the @AfNutr Twitter chats and cafes in my spare time and am also a Scout Leader.
