Anissa Portrait

Dr. Anissa Armet

Anissa Armet is a registered dietitian, and currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Alberta.

Anissa has followed the principles of the NiMe diet for almost a decade to help manage her inflammatory bowel disease. She hopes that the NiMe diet will help others transform their health as well!

In 2017, Anissa created the recipes of the NiMe diet and contributed to the design of the controlled feeding trial as an undergraduate student.

During her PhD (2019-2024, supervised by Prof. Jens Walter), Anissa was responsible for participant recruitment and data collection, cooking the NiMe diet (and taking all of the pictures of the recipes!), and data analysis.

Jens Portrait

Professor Jens Walter

Jens Walter is a Professor of Ecology, Food, and the Microbiome at University College Cork and the APC Microbiome Ireland.

From 2014 to 2019, Jens served as the Professor and Campus Alberta Innovates Program Chair at the University of Alberta, where he was the lead investigator of the scientific study on the NiMe diet. He was the first to study the gut microbiome in rural Papua New Guineans, on which the NiMe diet is based.

Jens has >180 peer-reviewed publications and is a ‘Highly Cited Researcher’ according to Clarivate.

Jens will be the first to admit that he violated virtually every single principle of the NiMe diet in his younger years. After he got away with it as a young adult, the combination of a sport injury with bad diet contributed to substantial weight gain in the past.

Following the principles of the NiMe diet has helped keep the kilos off, and Jens hopes that the information on this page will help others to live healthier lives!
