Bio/Research
Nutrition and health: My PhD is in nutrition and my nutritional interests lie in the connection between nutrition and health. These interests include skeletal development, vitamin D, mineral metabolism, osteoporosis, falls in older people, obesity and eating disorders. I teach the Human Nutrition course at Dalhousie, which focuses on the effects of nutrition on health.
Exercise: I teach applications of exercise physiology within the Kinesiology program. My interests include the health benefits of exercise, exercise facilitation and adherence, and performance improvements in all levels of exercisers.
Bone health: My research focuses on how growing skeletons develop greater strength, methods to retain or increase strength in bones, and how fractures can be prevented. The latter topic includes gaining and retaining muscle strength and function.
