Dr Steve Phiney, the LCHF guru, will be visiting our research centre and doing a public presentation on the evening of Thursday August 28th. We will focus the session on both health AND sport and endurance performance. Places will be limited to 100 – please register your interest with us by email hcentrem@aut.ac.nz with “Steve Phiney rego” in the subject line.

We are going to ask for $5-10 donations on the night to help cover costs.

Here’s a recent lecture by Dr Phiney on “The art and science of nutritional ketosis”

Jimmy Moore is coming!

Jimmy Moore – author and champion low carb podcaster – the living la vida low carb man himself, will be talking about his new book “Keto clarity” when he visits Auckland and our research centre on November 12th (date to be confirmed). We will tie in a whole afternoon and evening with Jimmy and our team focused on the health and well being side.  Myself and Dr Caryn Zinn will deliver our annual public “science and practice of nutrition” lecture.  Last year’s one has over 25,000 views on youtube. We will call for registrations when the time comes.
