Dr Caryn Zinn & Professor Grant Schofield

 Grant Schofield is Professor of Public Health, and Director of the Human Potential Centre at AUT Millennium.  His research and teaching interests range from understanding and improving lifestyle behaviours such as sleep, nutrition, and physical activity, to wellbeing epidemiology and human performance.  He maintains a "multi fluency” across psychology, physiology, public health, epidemiology, and human performance.

Professor Schofield takes a "think outside the box" approach to his work in tackling the big health problems of our times.  He is known for challenging current beliefs in his field. His current project base and large group of talented postgraduate thesis students show an exciting range of these challenges.

 

Dr Caryn Zinn is a dietitian and academic at AUT. Her research and clinical practice focuses on whole food amidst a holistic lifestyle approach to health. She has co-authored 4 books as part of the What The Fat? Series.

To say that Grant and Caryn know their stuff is a bit of an understatement. In this episode Art & Matilda deep dive into nutrition with Grant and Caryn sharing what they have learnt (and unlearnt) throughout their careers. From the low fat farce, keto cowboys, fasting, veganism and functional food for medicine to the credibility of some ‘scientific’ studies and the importance of researching beyond the headlines. We cover some really interesting topics safe in the hands of academics who have the credentials to back up their claims.
