Dietitian and sports nutritionist
As a self-confessed “total foodie”, being an award-winning dietitian and performance nutritionist comes translating nutrition science comes naturally to our resident dietitian and long-time Fitpro magazine contributor, Dr Linia Patel. She likes to take a block of science and slice it up into easy-to-digest and practical advice. With a PhD in Public Health and over 100 published articles on diet and health, she is a British Dietetic Association Spokesperson and is regularly seen appearing on national TV and being quoted in the press. She was science expert for Tess Daly’s best-selling book 4 Steps to a Happier & Healthier You and is the author of the best-selling book Food for Menopause. Linia’s hope is to leave a legacy of empowerment – helping as many people as possible to truly understand and harness the most powerful tool they will ever own – their body.
