My blogs
| Introduction | I’m a published scientific author and hold an Hon. BSc. and MSc. in Human Kinetics. Currently I’m a PhD student in Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto and SickKids Hosptial primarily focused on the physiology of obesity. The goal of the research is to garner a greater understanding of the hormonal regulation of appetite and the potential role of exercise to modulate this relationship. I have spent many years both researching and applying the latest work in sport sciences, nutrition and ergogenic aids and have lectured university and college students on these topics. I’m also a competitive athlete in my spare time and have drawn upon both my knowledge and experience in sport, exercise and nutrition to help improve my own performance. The whole purpose of this blog is to bring some of the latest research and science on weight loss into the mainstream and separate the fact from fiction. I believe that it’s the unwritten duty of my colleagues and I to be able to effectively disseminate our research to the general public. |
