About
Experience and passion in health, research, and communication
I am Emiliano Pena, a PhD, UK-Registered Dietitian (RD), and British Dietetic Association (BDA) Accredited Work Ready Dietitian with over 15 years of experience spanning neuroscience, nutrition, clinical research, and workplace well-being.
My career journey began in neuroscience, where I explored the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases. I then transitioned into dietetics, clinical research, and public health, combining my scientific expertise with practical health applications.
As a researcher, consultant, and science communicator, I specialise in translating research into accessible, evidence-based strategies. My work empowers individuals and organisations to make informed health decisions and create healthier environments.
Outside work, I am a keen freediver. It is one of my favourite ways to disconnect and appreciate the beauty of life.
