Zara Prowse
Public Health Nutritionist
A little bit about me
I am originally from Nantwich, Cheshire, currently living in Liverpool with my Daughter who has recently graduated from university and my Partner, an amazing cook with the ability to pair foods like no other. I am a qualified Teacher of Science and in 2017 decided to go back to university to study for a Masters degree in Public Health Nutrition specialising in sports nutrition and menopause.
As part of my MSc I completed modules in:
-
Contemporary Issues in Human Nutrition
-
Health Behaviours and Nutrition
-
Nutrition, Metabolism and Disease
-
Public Health Nutrition with an International Perspective
-
Research methods.
My research project looked at the dietary status of adolescent female gymnasts and adolescent females in the general population, looking specifically at iron intake.
Since graduating, I have worked with Team GB gymnasts, delivered the NHS Type 2 Diabetes Remission Programme, worked as a consultant for Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service and currently working for NXTG Racing as their Team Nutritionist looking after their U17 and U19 female riders supported by Fenix-Deceuninck World Tour Cycling Team.
With all this knowledge and experience, I want to improve peoples’ health through the life course by going back to basics, using evidence-based nutrition to increase understanding of the importance of nutrition, so that knowledge and understanding can be passed on to families and friends and improve the health of the population.
