About
Raised in a family of physicians, Rafik witnessed early how one‑size‑fits‑all diets left people frustrated. His fascination with genetics led him to biotechnology research, where he uncovered how single‑nucleotide variations can alter nutrient metabolism.
Today, he merges lab‑bench discovery with clinic‑floor practicality. Whether rebuilding an athlete’s recovery plan or guiding a busy executive through weight‑management plateaus, Rafik’s mission is the same: turn complex science into clear, sustainable habits that honor both tradition and the latest evidence.
A firm believer in community education, he delivers workshops across the Middle East on topics ranging from Mediterranean diet heritage to cutting‑edge gene panels—always championing food cultures that have stood the test of time.
Experience
Since 2023, Dr. Rafik Raouf Roshdy has guided Nutra Best as Lead Nutrigenomics Consultant. He architects DNA-matched supplement protocols, coordinates laboratory validation, and leads a cross-functional team that blends bioinformatics with product formulation. His current focus—an innovative women’s-health range—has already progressed from concept to pilot production under his direction.
Between 2020 and 2023, Dr. Roshdy served as Clinical Nutritionist at Cairo Sports Medicine Center. He oversaw more than 800 elite and collegiate athlete cases, performing metabolic testing, tailoring recovery meal plans, and collaborating with physiotherapists. His evidence-based interventions shortened average injury-rehabilitation time by 18 percent and improved team compliance through bespoke nutrition workshops.
Earlier, from 2018 to 2020, he was Research Associate at GenBio Labs. There he analyzed large-scale gene–diet datasets, co-developed a high-throughput microarray panel, and published six peer-reviewed papers. His findings, presented at two international conferences, laid groundwork for subsequent precision-nutrition trials.
Education & Achievements
Dr. Rafik Raouf Roshdy pairs rigorous academic training with practical insight. He earned an MSc in Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering from Ain Shams University in 2021, after graduating with a BSc in Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics from Alexandria University in 2018. To stay at the forefront of precision nutrition, he completed Precision Nutrition Level 2 and ISSN Sports Nutrition coursework during 2022–23, deepening his command of evidence-based diet planning.
His scholarly voice is well established. In 2022, he published “SNP-Driven Omega-3 Requirements in Female Athletes” in the Journal of Sports Nutrition, providing a framework for gene-guided fatty-acid dosing. He has also appeared on Sports Science Today (Episode 47) to discuss personalized fueling and co-authored a 2023 textbook chapter on epigenetic diet strategies for Nutrition & Genetics.
Recognition has followed. The Egyptian Ministry of Youth & Sports awarded him the New Achiever Medal in 2022, while professional memberships in the Egyptian Arabic Society of Healthy & Therapeutic Nutrition and the International Society of Sports Nutrition keep him engaged with leading experts and ongoing research.
