Author Information

Hoda McClymont PhD, BBus(Hons), GradDipPubHlth, GCertHuman Services.Hoda McClymont is a mother, researcher, and project officer for a national not-for-profit organisation. In addition to authoring numerous academic journal articles available on ResearchGate, Hoda has years of experience working for government, academic, and non-government organisations. Over the two decades of teaching and research in academia, Hoda's research interests became more focused on individual health and well-being, leading her to change careers by studying, volunteering, and working first in human services, and more recently in public health. While completing her graduate studies in public health, Hoda became aware of the pressing need to educate and empower individuals to make healthy lifestyle choices for themselves. She also saw two key barriers that stood in the way: limited public access to trusted scientific information, and a limited understanding of the technical language used in scientific publications. Hoda saw that she could use her skills to remove these barriers, especially in the domain of health-which is fast becoming a growing concern worldwide. The outcome of her endeavour is this book, aimed at parents who are looking for help to improve their children's diets. Hoda lives in sunny Queensland, Australia, with her husband and two sons, who were the inspiration for this book.
