Boundless Body Radio Ketogenic Diets and Type 1 Diabetes with Andrew Koutnik, PhD! 722
Andrew Koutnik, PhD is a researcher studying the influence of nutrition and metabolism on health, disease, and performance. He originally began his research path at Florida State University in the Exercise Science studying the influence of nutrition, exercise, supplementation, and environmental extremes on health-based outcomes in normal and clinical populations.
From Florida State University, he transitioned into Biomedical Research where he received his doctorate in Biomedical Sciences with the Metabolic Medicine Lab at University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine with a focus on studying metabolism and metabolic therapies for health, disease, and performance outcomes.
Personally, Andrew Koutnik also uses exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle factors to manage Type-1 Diabetes for over 12 years. Type-1 Diabetes has and continues to give an incredible in-depth personal journey into the world of our metabolism, how it works, how day-to-day life (sometimes moment-by-moment choices) influences it, and how these changes on metabolism can have far reaching effects over other aspects of our physiology.
This combination of researching nutrition and exercise, but also dealing with its benefits and consequences daily as a Type-1 Diabetic, created a strong appreciation for the metabolic role nutrition and lifestyle can play into disease prevention and management.
Andrew is currently involved in ongoing research projects exploring how metabolism influences and is influenced by health, disease, and performance, and how we might leverage lifestyle and medical tools to influences these same categories.
