Dr Naras Lapsys has 2 university degrees and a PhD in Medicine. He began his career as a scientist at a leading medical institute, searching for the genes of obesity and diabetes. After nearly 10 years of research he came to the conclusion that the ‘quick fix’ pill was still a long way off and that nutrition and lifestyle would always hold the key to better health. With that in mind he went back to university, completed a Masters degree in Nutrition and became an Accredited Practising Dietitian. By combining all his years of knowledge and a genuine passion for good health, Dr Naras Lapsys founded The Body Doctor.
Naras is a consultant dietitian to various sporting groups, has helped to create many corporate health programs and has established the first Body Doctor practice for one-on-one consultations in Sydney’s Bondi Junction.
He is a member of the Dietitians Association of Australia, DAA and Sports Dietitians Australia, SDA. Naras is also on the Expert Advisory Panel for childhood nutrition, with the trusted parenting resource, Babycenter.
