I am a nutritionist interested in eating behavior and helping people to improve eating behavior, make better eating-related choices, and make lifestyle changes. In several projects I have worked to develop digital measurement of diet quality, to integrate dietary measurement into healthcare and other lifestyle counseling, to utilize the dietary data, and studied the applicability and effectiveness of the digital tools. I am interested in obesity and type 2 diabetes prevention. Especially concerned about people with psychological distress, low socioeconomic position, and metabolic syndrome risk factors. Also expertise in nudging, coealic disease and gluten-free diet.
