Dr Dana Lis
Guest’s story:
Dana is one of the very few High Performance Sport Dietitians to achieve the “triad;" PhD, Registered Dietitian and graduate of the renowned IOC Diploma in Sport Nutrition. One foot in leading edge-research and the other in high performance sport Dana plays a unique simultaneous role of researcher and practitioner.
In the role of Project Scientist in Neurobiology, Physiology and Behaviour at University California Davis she leads human studies in the Baar lab focused on nutrition strategies to reduce injury, advance return to play and improve performance in athletes.
Also, as a high-performance sport dietitian Dana currently focuses on two polar sports as a consultant in the NBA with the Golden State Warriors and also with the World Tour Cycling Israel Start-Up Nation.
She has also spent her fair share of time racing bikes but now focuses on helping others get faster, fitter and even win the biggest races in the World. Importantly, she is also a mother to an adventurous little boy and spends every spare second in the mountains on skis or bikes.
Dana continues to strive towards pushing the envelope of evidence-influenced sport nutrition by closing the gap between novel research and applied performance nutrition.
