About the presenter
Ngaire Hobbins is an experienced dietitian who, for more than 30 years, has enjoyed a variety of roles, including food industry consulting, nutrition communications and community and clinical dietetics. A time spent in community care some years ago led into geriatrics, an area of nutrition about which she has developed a passion. After the success of her first book Eat to Cheat Ageing (2014), Ngaire has recently published a follow-up, Eat to Cheat Dementia (2016), which examines what we can do to reduce our chances of cognitive decline and dementia, and also provides nutritional information for those living with a dementia diagnosis and the people who care about them. Both Ngaire’s books are firmly based in clinical practice and current science but written in everyday language for consumers, with advice about what to eat and do to maximise both body and brain function. They are also a resource for health professionals.
