Georgina Guillén holds a BSc in Pharmacy from the University of Barcelona, an MSc in Nutrition and Public Health, and an MSc in Global Health. She worked in community pharmacies and public hospitals in Spain, USA, and Peru before realizing the need for a nutritional approach to chronic disease. She completed her PhD in Physiology at the University of Cape Town and is now part of Eat Better South Africa’s research team. Her research focuses on understanding the social determinants that affect women’s health in low-income communities and how to bring low-carbohydrate diets into those areas to treat metabolic diseases. She is also teaching Qualitative Methods at the Master of Nutrition and Public Health at the Open University of Catalonia. In 2021, she was the recipient of the Tim & Marilyn Noakes Grant fellowship and will start a Postdoctoral position at MRC/Wits Rural Public Health and Health Transitions Research Unit (Agincourt) at the University of the Witwatersrand. Georgina is passionate about inequality, women’s rights, nutrition, public health, and diet-related diseases. She believes that through Eat Better South Africa programs, women are empowered, and consequently, the wider community is influenced by virtue of their position in their household.
