Lily is an ASLM Board Member, chair of the NZ working group and is currently Nutrition Manager at My Food Bag in a culinary nutrition role.
Prior to this, Lily was the National Nutrition Advisor at the New Zealand Heart Foundation for 6 years where she led the process of developing and publishing position statements on a range of lifestyle medicine topics including sodium, physical activity, and alcohol.
When it comes to food, Lily’s approach is realistic and relatable, and she believes that our diet and relationship with food is deeply intertwined with our overall hauora (health). Food is one of life’s greatest joys and her focus is to empower people to find a long-term, sustainable, and evidence-based approach to eating.
