This week on the All Things Food podcast host Nickie Hursthouse talks to Dr Julia Bone, a Registered Dietitian, Sport, and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENR) Practitioner in the UK and an Advanced Sports Dietitian with Sports Dietitians Australia. 

Peruvian born and raised in Invercargill, Julia’s journey has seen her move countries a number of times and Julia has worked with senior and developing athletes across a number of different sports including hockey, athletics, tennis, basketball, and para-badminton.

The episodes covers:

• What is a sports dietitian?
• Why do people seek professional advice on nutrition in sport?
• How recommendations around food and nutrition differ between the elite athlete and the weekend warrior
• Supplements - are they really necessary?
• Performance is so much more than taking particular supplements

You can find out more about training to be a sports dietitian via Sports Dietitians Australia or International Olympic Committee (IOC).
