The Institute of Performance Nutrition (the “IOPN”, formerly the Guru Performance Institute) “We Do Science” Podcast is hosted by the IOPN’s founder and CEO Laurent Bannock, and features a wide variety of leading experts, practitioners and researchers in sport and exercise science – with a special focus on Performance Nutrition. The primary purpose of the podcast is to discuss important and cutting edge developments in sports nutrition and exercise physiology, often tackling the latest research with the actual scientists conducting and publishing the research discussed – and unpacking the evidence into an applied (real world) context.
