BSc, MSc, PhD
Cutting-edge Nutritional Considerations for the Vegan Athlete
Alistair currently works as a Lecturer in Nutritional Physiology at the University of Exeter.
Alistair was awarded his PhD in 2021 for the thesis entitled “Mycoprotein & Skeletal Muscle Anabolism”, which characterised the effect that the alternative protein mycoprotein has on muscle protein synthesis rates and muscle mass, in both young and older individuals.
He has also published alongside Professor Benjamin Wall and Professor Francis Stephens reviewing wider nutritional considerations for the vegan athlete.

Performance Nutrition for Elite and Non-Elite Crossfit and Hyrox Athletes
Dr Tom Dale is a scientific researcher with a PhD in Nutritional Science from the University of Nottingham.
Tom has a passion for elite sport and performance with over a decade of experience in sports such as Powerlifting, CrossFit, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Hyrox.
As a former full-time member of the Science Communications team at The Mac-Nutrition Collective, Tom is so excited to come back & share how the latest innovations in nutrition science research can improve performance in these highly popular sports. Being personally interested & involved in Hyrox & CrossFit, he will also compare the often dubious methods currently used/advised in “Hybrid” training modalities versus what the research clearly shows is best practise.
