Learn from The Best about Nutrition and Exercise
One of the experts that I rely on the most for information about sports nutrition is Nancy Clark, RD. I own her books, Nancy Clark’s Sports Nutrition Guidebook and Nancy Clark’s Food Guide For Marathoners: Tips for Everyday Champions.
I met Nancy at the 2010 Boston Marathon Expo and had the chance to ask her a few questions. She was very helpful and her one-page handout on carbohydrate loading for the marathon was excellent. One of the things that I like about Nancy is that her recommendations are always practical and are based on solid research, not the latest sports nutrition fads.
Now, you can learn more about sports nutrition and exercise from the experts. Nancy Clark, RD, and Bill Evans, PhD, have scheduled a series of 1 1/2 day workshops at locations around the U.S. Bill Evans is an Adjunct Professor at Duke University Medical Center, is well known for his research on protein, muscles, and aging.
These 10-hour Sports Nutrition Workshops provide information on the following topics:
- Nutrition for Exercise & Sports
- Dieting, Weight & Exercise
- Dieting Gone Awry
- Exercise and Aging
- Protein Metabolism and Exercise
- Ergogenic Aids
- Exercise, Diet and Weight Control
Here’s the link to the full agenda for the workshop.
If you are a healthcare professional, you can get continuing education credit for completing the workshop.
Here are the locations for the workshops:
- Salt Lake City - Oct 28-29, 2011

If you can’t make it to these locations, you can also do the workshop on-line from home.
