In this episode, we sit down with Dr Portia D’Anverrs, a brilliant plant-based Radiology Registrar. Portia is also a qualified fitness instructor and has previously competed in powerlifting, INBA bikini and sports modelling – so it’s safe to say that she walks her talk when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle.
In her work, Portia literally gets to see the results of lifestyle choices from the inside out and we spend some time discussing the untapped potential of medical imaging as a tool for lifestyle intervention. We also delve into Portia’s fascinating backstory and her journey to becoming plant-based. Portia currently serves as the Tasmanian Ambassadoc for Doctors For Nutrition and advocates a healthy lifestyle through her social media.
In this episode we cover:
• Portia’s upbringing and reasoning behind her transition to a plant-based lifestyle
• Her busy schedule as a Radiology Registrar and the potential use of medical imaging as an education tool
• The importance of movement – for physical and mental health
• A plant-based diet for performance and the importance of nutrition education to ensure good health
• Making a plant-based diet work for busy people
• Her top tips for quick and easy meals
