Live Well Be Healthy
Hi! I'm Karen
I'm the Founder of live well and be healthy.
My nutrition journey started a while back when I was inspired by a particular book, Eat, Nourish, Glow by Amelia Freer. Amelia Freer is an inspiring nutritional therapist and her book really struck me in such a way that I thought wow this is amazing and makes so much sense, I want to learn more! And that's exactly what I did. I started studying towards an honours degree at Queen Margaret University, Musselburgh. I thoroughly enjoyed my studies and although it was a hard slog at times I passed each year with flying colours and graduated with a first class honours degree.
​
I now have a registered status as an Associate Nutritionist with the Association for Nutrition. I continue to expand my knowledge and keep up to date with the latest research in nutrition.
​
I strongly believe everyone should have access to healthy food and nutrition advice and this inspired me to use my gained knowledge to set up live well and be healthy. My goal is to provide informative and evidence based nutrition and healthy living advice to support individuals and communities to make posiitve and practical changes to their food choices and general health.
