Dr Linia Patel

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.

  • Translating science into easy-to-digest, practical advice
  • Dietitian and sports nutritionist
