With two decades studying nutritional ketosis, Dr. Jeff Volek offers some amazing insights into the many health benefits of a ketogenic diet for human health and longevity.
Dr. Volek is a registered dietitian and professor in the Department of Human Sciences at The Ohio State University. For the last two decades, he has performed cutting-edge research on how humans adapt to ketogenic diets with a dual focus on clinical and performance applications of nutritional ketosis. His scholarly work includes more than 300 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts and five books, and he has provided more than 200 lectures at scientific and industry conferences worldwide. His team at Ohio State University is currently focused on breaking open new applications related to nutritional ketosis. These studies explore the role of nutritional ketosis on cardio-metabolic status, ectopic fat accumulation in various tissues, tumor metabolism, and health outcomes in various types of cancer, and human physical and cognitive capabilities in military personnel.
Dr. Volek is the Chief Science Officer and Co-Founder of Virta Health, a specialty medical clinic that reverses type 2 diabetes safely and sustainably, without the risks, costs, or side effects of medications or surgery.
