Doris Tromballa

Doris Tromballa has been working as a science journalist for over 20 years, focusing on nutrition. A YouTube video about the effects of sugar fascinated her so much that she decided to go back to university alongside her job. Five years later, she earned her master’s degree in nutritional therapy. But it’s not just digging through study results and gathering insights from world-class experts that excites her—she also loves trying out nutrition trends herself: from ketogenic to glocal, Icelandic to probiotic. Her favorite kind of sightseeing while traveling? (Super)markets. And when she’s not experimenting with something new from the wondrous world of food, she’s either kicking it at kickboxing or playing the piano.
