She went on to earn both her Masters of Science and PhD at the University of Calgary between 1995 and 1998. Rucklidge's PhD explored the psychological functioning of women identified in adulthood with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Rucklidge emigrated to New Zealand in 2000 to take up a lecturer position at the University of Canterbury (Christchurch). She continued to work in clinical roles in addition to academic work, at the Canterbury District Health Board and The Charity Hospital (Christchurch). Rucklidge was appointed the Director of the Clinical Training Programme at University of Canterbury between 2001 and 2004 and again between 2014 and 2016. Rucklidge's original academic work focused on psychological and neurocognitive functioning in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in both children and adults. She published widely in the area and is cited over 1000 times for this work. Today, Rucklidge is more widely known for her research on mental health and nutrition. She became interested in this area after she was approached by a Canadian family who were using nutrients to treat their children with Bipolar Disorder. Rucklidge is currently the director of the Mental Health and Nutrition Research Group (University of Canterbury). Work from this research group has explored the impact of nutritional interventions in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in children and adults, anxiety and stress in adults and children following a series of earthquakes, insomnia, premenstrual syndrome, depression, addictions and emotion dysregulation. Ongoing work in the Mental Health and Nutrition Research Group includes trials to explore the impact of nutritional interventions on maternal mental well-being, infant development and anxiety and depression. In the media Rucklidge emphasises the importance of nutrition in mental health through her Facebook page, Twitter account and blog ‘Mad in America’.

Rucklidge created a free educational series for the public in collaboration with Professor Bonnie Kaplan and in 2014 presented a TEDx talk which has had over 4.1 million views as at June 2022. However, TED has flagged that Rucklidge's talk has fallen outside of TEDx's curatorial guidelines because it oversimplifies interpretations of legitimate studies Awards and professional achievements In 2015, Rucklidge was the recipient of the Ballin Award, recognising significant contributions to the development and enhancement of clinical psychology in New Zealand.
