Kathy joined Optibac in 2014 and plays a vital role as a Sales & Training Representative, sharing her extensive knowledge of nutrition and probiotics with retailers and healthcare professionals.
A qualified Nutritional Therapist, Kathy trained at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, where she focused her dissertation on the role of antioxidants in supporting cognitive decline in later life. She continues to run her own practice and is particularly drawn to the emerging science around nutrition for cancer support — an area that increasingly inspires her work.
Always eager to expand her knowledge, Kathy has explored diverse areas of health and healing, completing short courses on raw food and ketogenic diets. Her passion for holistic wellness even took her to India, where she immersed herself in a month-long Ayurvedic panchakarma treatment.
An experienced writer, Kathy has contributed articles to respected industry publications such as IHCAN and Only Natural. One of her favourite pieces on the Optibac site is “The Microbiome & Emotional Health”, which resonates deeply with her personal experience of anxiety and her fascination with the gut-brain connection.
