History of ABC Nutrition

In 2008, Angela left her permanent role in food industry and went out on her own. She founded ABC Nutrition, on the belief that nutrition should be easy and uncomplicated.  Angela is passionate about health and nutrition and believes in finding ways for people to enjoy food while also nurturing their bodies. 

Her philosophy is that, 

"Healthy eating is more than simply eating healthy food. It is also about having a healthy relationship with food. By listening to our bodies and finding the right balance between our lifestyle and the food we eat, all foods can be enjoyed, not feared."

Media background

Angela has a 20+ year history of working with the media - providing nutrition commentary on various nutrition topics, as a writer and TV presenter. Angela was the nutrition myth-buster and nutritionist on Season one of TVNZs Eat Well For Less NZ. Angela also has contributed to a number of well-known publications.

Due to her strong media skills and passion for raising the awareness of dietitians and credible nutrition information in the media, Angela was the inaugural winner of the Dietetic Communicators Award from Network Communication in 2018. Angela also convened the Dietitians New Zealand Media Special Interest Group (SIG) in 2015 and again in 2019.

A goal of Angela’s has always been to empower dietitians and degree-qualified nutrition professionals to become more media-savvy. You can find out more about how to become a media-savvy nutrition communicator over at www.themediasavvydietitian.com.
