Coauthor of a 2026 study on clock gene variants and dietary intake.
Personalized prevention strategies that consider genetic predispositions can enhance existing strategies. Research suggests that variation in circadian rhythm-related genes, or clock genes, may influence obesity risk, in part through effects on dietary behaviour.

Disputed The wording is real: the abstract for "Clock Gene Variants Are Associated with Energy and Macronutrient Intake in Early Childhood and Adulthood" contains this passage verbatim except that the submitted version omits the opening words "Obesity remains a global health concern, and". But the paper is a 10-author journal article published on 2026-06-12, with Lyn Hillyer listed as one coauthor rather than the sole author/speaker, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote.
