Career
Lambert completed a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Health in 2014, followed by a Master of Science in Obesity, Risks and Prevention in 2016, both at the University of Roehampton. She holds accreditation as a master practitioner in eating disorders from the British Psychological Society and is certified as a Level 3 personal trainer. Lambert established Rhitrition, a private nutrition practice located on Harley Street, and is the host of the Food for Thought podcast, which has amassed more than 7 million downloads.
As a proponent of plant-based nutrition, Lambert makes a clear distinction between this approach and veganism, describing plant-based diets as those that increase plant consumption without necessarily eliminating all animal-derived foods. In 2024, she published The Science of Plant-Based Nutrition. She emphasizes the nutritional benefits of vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, kale, red cabbage, and sweet potatoes. Lambert endorses consuming steak weekly within an otherwise predominantly plant-focused diet and regards eggs as an economical and nutrient-dense protein option.
She critiques popular diet trends like clean eating and the carnivore diet for their insufficient scientific evidence. Lambert has written articles for The Telegraph and Women's Health.
