Her research investigates how diet–microbiome–host interactions influence clinical outcomes in IBD patients. Key areas include identifying biomarkers for dietary intervention responders, combining diets with microbial therapies, and advancing precision nutrition for digestive diseases. She emphasizes translating scientific knowledge into practical applications for IBD prevention and management.
The 15 most recent publications highlight her work on the gut microbiome, dietary interventions (e.g., Mediterranean diet, reduced sulfur diet), and IBD therapies. Topics span metabolomics, microbiome engineering, time-restricted feeding, and dietary emulsifiers. Her research often bridges nutrition science, microbiology, and clinical gastroenterology.
As a co-author of Gut Microbiota: Interactive Effects on Health and Nutrition and IBS For Dummies, she contributes to public health education and clinical guidelines. She is affiliated with UBC Okanagan's Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science and collaborates with LyfeMD for digital health solutions.
