Lisa Parkinson Roberts Author

Lisa Parkinson Roberts (PhD) has worked in the field of health and nutrition for over a decade. She holds an honours degree in exercise and sports science and a PhD in Nutrition Science. She was awarded an Australian postgraduate award scholarship to complete her doctorate and has published 10 peer reviewed journal articles, including one book chapter. Lisa has presented her research at both local and international nutrition conferences, and has coordinated and taught a university nutrition course. In her academic career, Lisa’s research focused on nutrition, inflammation and mood disorders. She has since gone on to gain much experience translating nutrition and health research for the general public, and run a personal training studio in Melbourne, Australia. Lisa found that nutrition advice tends to be overly complex, controversial, and often misunderstood, and so made it her aim to bring a comprehensive overview to the public, whose teachings are understandable and whose tools are easily implemented. Having suffered mental illness for most of her life, Lisa now enjoys a different state of mind and is passionate about helping others to do the same.
