Shavawn M. Forester PhD, RDN

Shawn Forester is a Nutritional Biologist and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and is the Chief Science Officer of The Nutrient Institute, a Nevada-based 50 charity dedicated to sharing information, knowledge, and tools so people can make informed food decisions. She received her B.A. and Ph.D. from the University of California Davis in 2007 and 2012 respectively. Her research interests include the characterization of all nutritional and environmental factors that constitute human metabolic health and the design of artificial intelligence that sheds light on the hidden nutrient information in food. She has developed a comprehensive approach to health, which converts the overly complex message of nutrition into simple nutrient-focused recommendations that ALL people can access. A key aspect of her nutrient-focused approach is that it can fit into any healthy lifestyle and can be applicable to any health or diet plan.
