About Victor Leung

Welcome to Food & Peace. I’m Victor Leung, originally from Hong Kong and currently a PhD researcher at Imperial College London. My work sits at the intersection of nutrition science, the gut microbiome, anti-inflammatory diet, metabolomics, and metabolic health

Current work. My academic background includes an MSc in Biopharmaceuticals from UNSW Sydney and an MRes in Clinical Research from Imperial College London, where I was awarded the Dean’s Prize. My current PhD research focuses on the microbiome–gut–organ axis and its role in metabolic health. I am also the author of a Chinese book on evidence-based anti-inflammatory dietary approaches, and I maintain a Chinese-language health and nutrition blog with more than 170,000 followers. Over the years, I have provided more than 1,400 online nutrition consultation sessions for people seeking evidence-based dietary strategies around inflammation-related nutrition, gut health, metabolic health, and long-term food choices.

Mission. Food & Peace exists to make nutrition evidence easier to understand and easier to use. My goal is to translate evidence into practical dietary strategies while being transparent about uncertainty, individual differences, and the limits of current evidence.

What I do.

  • Explain nutrition research in plain language
  • Discuss anti-inflammatory nutrition, gut health, metabolic health, dietary patterns, and practical food strategies
  • Provide evidence-based nutrition consultation and dietary strategy support
  • Create bilingual English and Chinese nutrition resources

Food & Peace provides evidence-based nutrition education and dietary strategy support. It does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or therapy. For medical conditions, medications, pregnancy, eating disorders, or urgent concerns, please work with a qualified clinical practitioner.
