Francesca Havens: A Better Way to Self-Empowered Health

Watch Francesca’s full presentation.

• Francesca Havens is a nutritional therapist and clinical psychoneuroimmunologist, with a background in modern languages and social anthropology. Psychoneuroimmunology is a cutting-edge discipline that adds evolutionary biology and psychology, as well as the scientific underpinnings of mind-body interactions, to current understandings of nutrition.

• She has travelled and lived in many cultures and has several important themes in her work, among which are: evidence-based nutrition; the globalisation of the ‘edible food-like substances’ industry (Michael Pollan’s excellent term); the subterfuge used to popularise such substances and compensate their shortcomings by the food/chemical/agriculture/pharma industries; and the resulting obliteration of food culture and understanding of healthy foods.

• Francesca is now dedicated to helping disseminate health science with integrity with the World Council for Health, and excited about the huge opportunities that it represents for self-empowerment and taking responsibility—something that is reflected in her private nutrition practice.
