LAKE TAHOE, Calif./Nev. – Did you know that the performance nutritionist for the Golden State Warriors is a long-time Tahoe local and a UC Davis alumni? While the athletes on her past and present roster, like Steph Curry and Chris Froome, are a different breed of human, the science of fueling for sport longevity is rooted in the same foundational nutritional physiology.
The U.C. Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC) is hosting Dr. Dana Lis, PD, PhD, CPT, ISAK1 as she presents on “Performance Nutrition for the Everyday Athlete” on Thursday, February 6, 2025, at the Sunnyside Restaurant and Lodge in Tahoe City. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the presentation begins at 6 p.m.
With a research record that has shaped specialized areas of performance nutrition, and more than 20 years of Olympic and Professional sports experience across five continents, Dr. Lis has become one of the most sought-after performance nutrition practitioners globally.
You do not have to be an elite athlete to learn a thing or two from her. With a knack for breaking down complex performance nutrition concepts into bite-sized pieces and a passion for imparting scientific skepticism, you will take home five key nutritional strategies that all athletes, at any level, age, or altitude can optimize.
This session will pack the latest evidence translated to real life on these key topics: maintaining and building muscle mass, reducing injury risk or severity (including concussion) and accelerating return to performance after injury, fortifying your body’s largest immune organ (the gut), and sifting through nutrition fake news.
Tickets purchased in advance are $10 through EventBrite and free for students with a student ID. Tickets at the door are $15. There is also a Zoom option using the following link to join https://ucdavis.zoom.us/j/92642462317 or watch the recorded presentation later on the TERC YouTube channel.
