Performance Nutrition for the Everyday Athlete, Dr. Dana Lis
February 6, 2025 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Description
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. With a research track 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 don’t 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 jam-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. Doors open at 5:00 p.m. Presentation begins at 6:00 p.m. Tickets purchased in advance are $10 through EventBrite and free for students with a student ID. Tickets at the door are $15. Refreshments and a no-host bar will be available from 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. The lecture will begin at 6 p.m. in the Mountainside Bar at Sunnyside Restaurant & Lodge, 1850 W Lake Blvd, Tahoe City, CA 96145.
