About the show

We Do Science is the sport and exercise nutrition podcast hosted by Dr Laurent Bannock, practitioner, educator, researcher, and Founder of The Institute of Performance Nutrition. Relaunching in September 2026 for a new era, the show brings together leading researchers, elite practitioners, educators, and thinkers to explore the science, context, and real-world application of performance nutrition. Each episode goes beyond headlines, protocols, and simplistic advice to examine how evidence is interpreted, challenged, and applied in practice. Topics include sport and exercise nutrition, body composition, protein and muscle, supplements, recovery, endurance nutrition, football nutrition, female athlete nutrition, behaviour change, practitioner development, and evidence-informed decision-making. Originally launched as one of the leading podcasts in the sports nutrition field, We Do Science returns with the same core mission: to bridge the gap between science and practice. Whether you are a sports nutritionist, dietitian, performance practitioner, coach, researcher, student, or serious health and fitness professional, this show is designed to help you think more critically, practise more effectively, and make better decisions in the real world. Serious conversations in sport and exercise nutrition — from science to practice.
