You. Your Genes. Your Health

Widely recognized for her trailblazing work as a culinary nutritionist and dietitian, Amanda has a longstanding commitment to redefining food, nutrition and cooking education in ways that make it accessible and meaningful. In addition to founding The Genomic Kitchen, she also created the practice of Culinary Genomics, a term she coined to express the revolutionary merging of nutrigenomics and the culinary arts. Her work in Culinary Genomics, unveiled in 2015, has created a cutting-edge frontier that unites the fields of Genomic Medicine with the Culinary Arts. Through this work, Amanda is placing food, chefs and the kitchen at the epicenter of healing, alongside visionary clinicians, and igniting a new nutrition conversation for the world.

Amanda’s visionary approach and unique perspective is derived from more than two decades of innovation in nutrition science and culinary translation, her on-the-ground interaction with consumers, chefs and health professionals, and her work as a consultant to a variety of leading institutions and brands.

Amanda has a degree in nutrition science (dietetics) with additional multi-year extensive training in nutrition biochemistry, nutrigenomics and functional nutrition. Along with running the day to day business of The Genomic Kitchen, she provides genomic test interpretation for clients as well as nutrigenomic and culinary teaching for clinicians and chefs. She also consults with leading foodservice, ingredient and genomic-focused business entities.

Amanda has taught and spoken extensively at clinical, health and industry conferences in the USA, Europe, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
