Professor Tim Noakes was taken to court for recommending a low carb diet on social media. The government tried to take Professor Noakes to task and strip him of his credentials, but Professor Noakes was armed with science and research that the government was unable to refute. Professor Noakes triumphed in court and is now charging into researching nutrition to gather data to support changes to government dietary guidelines. Professor Noakes is working to convert government nutritional guidelines that are based on lobbying and special interest, to guidelines based on science and data. Professor Noakes joins Yogi on the show to talk about his work, his legal battle and victory as well as the important research efforts The Noakes Foundation is currently undertaking that can use your support.
Professor Noakes was born in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1949. As a youngster he had a keen interest in sport and attended Diocesan College in Cape Town. Following this he studied at the University of Cape Town (UCT) and obtained an MBChB degree in 1974, an MD in 1981 and a DSc (Med) in Exercise Science in 2002.
In the early 90s, Noakes teamed up with Morné du Plessis to drive the founding of the Sports Science Institute of South Africa (SSISA). The Institute was built to provide a facility that would primarily fund research in sports performance. The application of this research would provide sports personnel of all disciplines with the means to improve. Noakes and du Plessis also wanted to use it as a platform to build public interest in the country’s top sports people and build state pride.
Prof Noakes has published more than 750 scientific books and articles. He has been cited more than 19,000 times in scientific literature, has an H-index of 71 and has been rated an A1 scientist by the National Research Foundation of South Africa for a second 5-year term. He has won numerous awards over the years and made himself available on many editorial boards.
He has a passion for running and is still active, running half marathons when he can. He is a devoted husband, father and grandfather and now, in his retirement, is enjoying spending more time with his family.
The Noakes Foundation is a Non-Profit Corporation founded for public benefit which aims to advance medical science’s understanding of the benefits of a low-carb high-fat (LCHF) diet by providing evidence-based information on optimum nutrition that is free from commercial agenda.
The foundation is currently looking for funding to run several of its ground-breaking research programs into healthy eating based on the Low Carbohydrate eating science.
As required by the Companies Act, all funds will be used to achieve the goals of the foundation, and will not be directly or indirectly distributed to any person unless it supports the fulfillment of these objectives.
