• MS, Physical Education, University of New Mexico, 2007

Research/Professional Interests

• The stress response to exercise in extreme environments and methods of reducing the negative impact on the whole body and performance.
• Sports nutrition and nutraceuticals, particularly the use of tart cherry and curcumin in reducing inflammation in athletes and clinical populations.
• Time of day feeding, fasted exercise, gut hormones, and metabolism.
• Cellular and oxidative stress in cardiopulmonary/at risk patients and how this is affected by changes in hydration status and environment
