My story.
Alexandra Emerson-White, BSc (Hons), MSc, mBANT, CNHC.
Alexandra is a registered Nutritionist, Functional Medicine practitioner and multi-award winning food and drink product developer.
With over 11 years’ experience, Alexandra understands the demands of working in the fast-paced world of FMCG, both within start-ups and large corporations.
Since starting her career following graduation with a first class honours degree in Food Science and Nutrition, Alexandra has received accolades from across the food industry and worked with some of the industries’ leading brands, including innocent drinks, Marks & Spencer and Liberty London.
Despite landing the “dream job” travelling the world, tasting and developing chocolate and desserts for a global retailer, Alexandra experienced first-hand the impact food can have on mind and body.
As deliciously delightful as it sounds, it was the decadence of this role that contributed to the downfall in her health. The enforced daily high sugar diet, frequent travel, burning the candle at both ends with typical city-life; overall a lot less focus on health and more on stress, meant her hormones were in havoc, mood had plummeted, anxiety was high, and balance was lost.
This ignited a passion to restore health, nurture balance and learn even more about nutrition.
The journey to wellness included quitting the day job and launching her own food consultancy in 2016.
Alongside working with some of the top brands in the business, this also allowed her to return to studies; completing an MSc in Personalised Nutrition.
Alexandra received a Distinction for her MSc research dissertation reviewing the impact of chronic stress, maladaptive changes within the brain and anxiety.
Now, she thrives helping others to strategically launch and grow their brands in positive-nutrition food, drink and supplement products.
