Leanne Ward Nutrition

In this episode, I chat with Professor Louise Burke.

Louise is a sports dietitian with 40 years of experience in the education and counselling of elite athletes. She worked at the Australian Institute of Sport for 30 years, first as Head of Sports Nutrition and then as Chief of Nutrition Strategy. She was the team dietitian for the Australian Olympic Teams for the 1996-2012 Summer Olympic Games. Her publications include over 400 papers in peer-reviewed journals and book chapters, and the authorship or editorship of several textbooks on sports nutrition. I hope that you all can appreciate the amazing talent that Louise brings to our episode today where we chat all about the “low down on low carbs”.
