Dana Ellis Hunnes

Dana Ellis Hunnes is a senior clinical dietitian at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and an assistant professor in the department of community health sciences at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health.

Her research focuses on how what we eat affects climate change (water use, land use, emissions) and how climate change affects food production.

Hunnes also studies how our eating habits affect personal health — for example, by reducing the risk of chronic disease through healthy diet — and how disease can be treated through healthy diet and nutritional support, including nutrition through feeding tubes and intravenous sources.

She also focuses on overall health and wellness from the perspective of diet and nutrition.

Hunnes is the author of the book “Recipe For Survival: What You Can Do to Live a Healthier and More Environmentally Friendly Life” and has been featured frequently in the news as an expert on nutrition.
