Please find attached details of Professor Grant Schofield's visit to Tauranga in November as part of Diabetes Awareness Month.

Grant is leading the wave of change in how we think about our health, including how we exercise, how we sleep, how we play, and how we connect. The central place ‘real’ food plays in our health and wellbeing; a desire to help people “be the best they can be”, drives his research and practice.
Dubbed “The Fat Professor”, Grant, together with Dr Caryn Zinn and Chef's such as Pete Evans and Craig Rodger (LOOP) are at the forefront of challenging the widespread fat phobia that has pushed us to eat a diet full of processed, carb-laden food. “It’s time to help the world change,” he says.
