NUTRITION

Aisha Summers

Aisha Summers has spent her life trying to explain complicated ideas in ways that more people can understand. She believes that being an effective science communicator is one of the most important jobs in the 21st century. She is passionate about health – and the science behind it – and has made it her mission for more people to understand the connection between lifestyle and wellness.

Born in England to Indian parents, she has always felt that she has experienced the best of both cultures. After studying Chemistry at university, she worked for a brief stint in the pharmaceutical industry, before realising that she had to follow her passion – food.

She believes that food is medicine, and has worked for both large and small food and beverage companies throughout her career. She is nutritionist, and has devoted a large part of her research to determining how the food we eat affects our most valuable resource, our brain.
