Grant is leading the wave of change in how we think about our health, including how we exercise, how we sleep, how we play, and how we connect. The central place ‘real’ food plays in our health and wellbeing; a desire to help people “be the best they can be”, drives his research and practice.
Dubbed “The Fat Professor”, Grant, together with Dr Caryn Zinn and Chef's such as Pete Evans and Craig Rodger (LOOP) are at the forefront of challenging the widespread fat phobia that has pushed us to eat a diet full of processed, carb-laden food. “It’s time to help the world change,” he says.

The dredging work will involve the barge “JKL” and tugboat “Tumeke” and will only be undertaken on weekdays between the hours of 7 am and 7 pm, and only on outgoing tides.
The areas to be dredged include:
— The berthage areas at the Otuawhaki Wharf and the channel close to the Whakatāne i-SITE
— The channel alongside the Yacht Club marina
— The extremities of the Opihi Spit on the western side of the Harbour entrance, where a build-up of sand has narrowed the channel to a point where it is creating safety issues for vessels entering and leaving the harbour.
Whakatāne District Council Capital Projects Manager Jim Finlay says that generally there should be minimal disruption to navigation. “The 50-metre rule will apply when the digger on the barge is working. If the tug is towing the barge, vessel operators are required to give way, given the slower operating speed of the tug. The Senior Maritime Officer and/or the tug operator will inform the Coast Guard by radio when movements which could affect other vessels are to occur.”
The timing of the work is designed to minimise impacts on whitebaiters and harbour users and has been approved by a Bay of Plenty Regional Council resource consent. Completion of the necessary works will be weather-dependent.
