Zeina Younes

As a dietitian and researcher, I have cultivated a rich background merging clinical expertise with scientific inquiry, aiming to advance nutrition science and improve patient care. With a Bachelor's or Master's degree in nutrition or a related field, I obtained credentials as a Licensed Dietitian (LD), solidifying my foundation in evidence-based practice.

My clinical experience encompasses providing personalized nutrition counseling, developing tailored meal plans, and managing medical nutrition therapy for individuals with various health conditions. I excel in assessing nutritional needs, conducting dietary assessments, and collaborating with interdisciplinary healthcare teams to optimize patient outcomes.

Simultaneously, my passion for research led me to engage in scholarly pursuits aimed at expanding our understanding of health and disease. I have participated in research projects investigating diverse topics such as the effect of diabetes distress on glycemia, the effect of frequent diabetes education on glycemic control, and reproductive health and infertility.

In my research endeavors, I have demonstrated proficiency in study design, data collection, statistical analysis, and interpretation of research findings. I am adept at conducting literature reviews, synthesizing evidence, and contributing to scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals, thereby disseminating knowledge to the broader academic community.

My dual roles as a dietitian and researcher have equipped me with a unique skill set bridging clinical practice with scientific inquiry. I am committed to advancing nutrition science through rigorous research, translating findings into evidence-based practice, and advocating for policies that promote health and wellness on individual and population levels.
