About Dr. Rob Edinburgh, PhD
Rob graduated from the University of Bath in 2015 with a first class honours in Sport and Exercise Science (BSc), winning the David Wilkinson prize for the best physiology student. Rob is particularly interested in how exercise and nutrition can counteract the increasing worldwide prevalence of diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Rob has also worked at the PEAK Centre for Human Performance in Ottawa (Canada) as an Exercise Physiologist, where he led individualized consultations on exercise and diet, performed exercise tests and ran strength and conditioning classes.
