Prof. Grant Schofield is the Professor of Public Health at Auckland University of Technology, director of the University’s Human Potential Centre, former Chief Scientific Adviser to the Ministry of Education in New Zealand, co-author of four best-selling books and Chief Science Officer for PREKURE.
Grant’s career has focused on preventing the diseases of modern times, and seeing what it takes to help people live a long, healthy and happy life. He lives and breathes the motto “be the best you can be”, and sees this as a game-changer for the health system – capable of transforming the current health (sickness) model, to one in which we aspire to be well. He is redefining public health as the science of human potential; the study of what it takes to have a great life.
Prof. Schofield is well known for thinking outside the box and challenging conventional wisdom in nutrition and weight loss, as well as physical activity and exercise.

haha that opening joke was GOLD!! Andre
I’m on carnivore diet never been healthier! We have been lied too. Lost 8kg in 6 months after trying to monitor eating for the past 10 years and nothing happened. Have had heaps of other benefits too and no longer am wasting my money on supplements
I enjoyed this talk. Thank you. Tomorrow is my 3 year anniversary of low carb (now a lot more meat). It’s so nice to be metabolically healthy after several decades. Thankfully I discovered low carb after being diagnosed in Oct 2021.
Thiamine deficiency – used for fibromyalgia and Parkinson’s.
Schofield!!! This video is a triumph. Thank you so much sir, Andre
I find it amazing that reducing something like rice can improve obesity and insulin resistance. I don’t eat veg but I do succumb to bread. When this happens my time restricted eating goes out the window. I find I binge on things like chocolate at weekends. And any grains of eating one or 2 protein meals during the week is undone.
I have lower belly fat which is so stubborn.
Also I find that intermittent fasting has altered my sleep pattern which is so grim.
I enjoyed this talk and think I will look into vitamin supplements.
Uphill battle here in NZ but keep up the good work😊
Having borderline personality disorder.
In my experience being vegetarian and now high protein low carb I can say the high protein low carb is working better for me.
Fantastic, thank you.
The Randle Cycle is the explanation Professor. Plz learn it. 16 min mark.
Thank you..😊
I wonder if vegetable toxcity is also dropping through time the more they are intensely farmed?
“You’ll lose weight but you won’t see it….”
Love it!
I’m now carnivore mostly.
After I found out about oxalates I cut out the fruit and vegetables. I don’t need them.
How wonderful to see Grant Schofield back on youtube. Down to earth and straight talking. Over a decade ago he was telling us very much the same things. When will we all realise what is going on? Some of us do, but we have not yet reached that Tipping point. I thank Grant for his continued efforts.
Very informative and useful
Gonna eat more protein and fats 😊 thanks
Even as a carnivore my hair and nails were awful so I started taking a Zinc Max tablet daily. The change was amazing, I now have nails (in my seventies) I haven’t had since I was pregnant.
Likeable chap.. Good talk.
Thanks for a great talk.
