Today we head back into the Bond Appetit vault and revisit episode 6 with Elroy Aguiar. Elroy Physical activity researcher interested in the prevention and treatment/management of cardiometabolic diseases at the School of Public Health and Health Sciences at the University of Massachusetts. His research aims to use diet, exercise and resistance to help men at high risk of type 2 diabetes.
Elroy’s PhD study involved the development of a new program that takes a novel approach to prevention for men at risk of type 2 diabetes. Elroy has a fully mature Photography business and specialises in event photography, landscapes and personal portraits.
We’ve had many entrepreneurial conversations and I’m a huge fan of the way Elroy approaches new ideas and goals. Elroy has implemented a self-administered weight loss program that in 6 months the 100 men that took part in the research lost an average of 5 kilograms.
