Biografie & Werdegang des Autors

Catherine Shanahan built her career at the intersection of medicine, biochemistry, and nutrition. After earning a BS in biology from Rutgers University, training in biochemistry and genetics at Cornell University’s graduate school, and attending Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, she spent about a decade practicing family medicine in Hawaii. Shanahan has traced her interest in nutrition to her own experience as a competitive athlete dealing with injuries, but Hawaii proved to be the deeper turning point: there she studied ethnobotany and paid close attention to the food traditions of her healthiest patients. That mix of clinical practice, scientific training, and observation became the foundation of her later writing and public work. ((https://drcate.com/about-dr-cate/))
