Dr Federica Amati - one of Britain’s top nutritional scientists – recalls the eureka moment studying with legendary Professor Elio Riboli when she realised the power of food on good health, preventing many chronic diseases.

The Italian-born scientist teaches medical students at Imperial College London – something that didn’t happen five years ago – and is fuelled by a desire to help us all discover the science of eating for a lifetime of health, as documented in her new book – Every BODY Should Know This.

As Head Nutritionist for ZOE and WellFounded, Dr Fede helps hundreds of thousands of people as well as individuals. She’s also in discussions with politicians and supermarkets in a bid to dramatically change our food environment by reducing the amount of ultra-high processed products on offer and making fresh produce more affordable.
