In this episode, I interview Alis Bonsignore, R.Kin and Exercise Physiologist at Cleveland Clinic Canada. Ms. Bonsignore obtained her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Guelph-Humber. While there, she discovered cardiac rehab during a placement and was inspired by the way that exercise and nutrition could alter the state of a disease on a physiological level and help individuals with chronic condition achieve better health outcomes. She went on to complete her Master of Science at the University of British Columbia in Cardiovascular Physiology and Oncology. A lifelong learner, she is currently pursuing her PhD from the University of Toronto in an emerging field of “cardio-oncology.
In this episode, Alis tells us the number one thing to learn if you want to go into this field, imagining Kinesiologist's in a health liaison role and how you don’t need to be working as a front-end therapist to be an R.Kin.
