In June this year, Nutrition Network, of whom I serve as lecturer, will be launching an exciting new training in Sports Nutrition. 

I am thrilled to have been asked to be involved in such important training. I love helping women to see beyond their beliefs and stories around ‘exercise’ to find joy in movement. As a personal trainer for years entrenched in the high carb/low fat nutrition dogma, I have seen and felt the incredible benefits of switching to Low Carb/Healthy Fat to become fat adapted – fuelled by fat! Over the years I’ve helped hundreds of people become fat adapted and find joy in moving. And I’ve seen a number of barriers that constantly get in the way.

One of the learning objectives in my lecture is teaching strategies to overcome some of your clients’ biggest barriers to exercise. Seeing the best intentions in clients and then challenging their thought processes to help see beyond them in order to change, is of utmost importance to me in my sessions, which I emphasise in this training.

I encourage bespoke individualised solutions, meeting clients where they are and cover the top five barriers to exercise that I’ve seen, namely:

  • Using exercise for weight loss
  • Looking in the wrong place for motivation
  • Being in a rush (includes fat adaptation phase)
  • The perfection myth
  • Not listening to your body.

Other experts whom I have a privilege of working with on this training are:

  • Prof Tim Noakes: My life in Sports Nutrition: from High Carbs to High Fats
  • Dr Tro Kalyjian: Low Carbohydrate Diets & Athletic Performance
  • Dr Ben Bocchiccio: Exercise as if Your Life Depended on it. Here’s Why it Does.
  • Laurie Rauch: Nourishing your Muscles
  • Holden McRae: LCHF: Metabolically Flexible for both Low and Higher Intensity Exercise
  • Andre Obradovich: How Should We Exercise when we are Moving to Low Carb (LCHF) Nutrition

This highly anticipated training is open to exercise and fitness professionals, coaches, and medical and allied health professionals. The training launches end June 2022 and is currently open for enrolment at a 30% Early Bird discount, for only $230. For more information click here.
