Dr. Craig began her studies at the University of Sydney, where she completed a BSc in Molecular Biology and Genetics, with Honours in Biochemistry. She graduated summa cum laude with a PhD in molecular oncology from the University of Zürich, where she also patented two targeted cancer therapies. At the Novartis Institute of Biomedical Research, Dr. Craig was awarded a fellowship to continue her research in epigenetics. Through her own personal struggle with health she became interested in how nutrition, among other lifestyle factors, impacts our health and longevity. She studied Nutrition Science at the School of Medicine at Stanford University to sharpen her knowledge further and gain a more holistic understanding of the interplay between nutrition, ageing, and overall health.

Her studies, research, and personal experience increased Dr. Craig’s fascination with the powers of collagen—prompting her to develop the formula for Formettā, an advanced daily collagen supplement. Dr. Craig enjoys creating and leading workshops to assist groups in understanding the importance of eating a nutrient dense diet and how to achieve optimal health via nutrition. Understanding the individual nature of health is the crux of Vanessa’s nutrition philosophy. There is not one program or approach that suits all. Her one-on-one consultations therefore provide the ultimate key to get to the root of her clients health issues and accomplish their well-being goals. Originally from Australia, she lives in Zurich with her husband and two children
