I am the cofounder and chief scientific officer. I am a diabetes nutrition and fitness coach, and I will help you master type 1, type 1.5, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes using low-fat, plant-based, whole-food nutrition.

I have developed a comprehensive diet and exercise program that combats insulin resistance, the underlying cause of type 2 diabetes, and a prevalent condition in type 1 diabetics as well. I have helped many diabetics achieve the best health of their life by following simple and effective lifestyle modifications that result in improved blood glucose, reduced HbA1c levels, abundant energy, increased athleticism, and improved immunity. I aim to provide you with the tools to understand nutritional science without needing to be a scientist. I aspire to force you to rethink nutrition from the ground up, to question everything you have learned and everything you have read. I hope to teach the principles of a truly healthy lifestyle, inspire you to make intelligent and informed decisions for your aging body, teach that disease prevention starts at the plate, and allow your diet to provide you with more energy than you had as a rambunctious teenager.

Performed all aspects of high resolution protein mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography (GCMS) in the ongoing investigation of proteome alterations that result from calorie restriction (CR), insulin resistance (IR) and diabetes in liver, muscle, and pancreatic islet cells.Designed and executed multiple experiments involving 2H2O metabolic labeling in vivo (rats and mice), and in vitro (human islet cells).Prepared samples for proteomic analysis, analyzed LCMS data, and troubleshot many aspects of LCMS performance and reliability.Performed bioinformatics analysis of large proteomic and microarray data sets to understand changes in protein turnover by biochemical pathway and subcellular localization.

Cultured methanogenic bacteria to study carbon fractionation characteristics. Developed isotopic gas mixing protocol for small scale cultivation protocol.

Designed experiments to study the growth and carbon fractionation characteristics of sea-floor methanogenic bacteria in support of the MEDUSA Hydrothermal Vent Sea Floor Observatory
