Dr/Prof Antigone Kouris, an Adjunct Associate Professor at La Trobe University with a PhD in the Mediterranean diet joins us this week on Shift It. Dr Kouris has co-authored several nutrition textbooks and her research played a key role in putting the Mediterranean diet on the map in the 1990s.
You’ll receive insights on a career in research, being an author and a professor, as well as what makes the Mediterranean diet stand out. We also talk about the unique nutrition profile of lupins, and why they’re so beneficial for our diet.
We also discuss:
-
The truth behind low GI foods like protein bars
-
Processed foods
-
Healthy product alternatives and product recommendations
-
Impact of stress and chronic pain on the body
-
Dr Kouris’ own endeavour to create a healthy and wholesome snack alternative
