My Services

With over two decades leading the scientific investigation of human metabolism and body composition at the National Institutes of Health, I offer evidence-based guidance to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies developing therapies for obesity, diabetes, and cardiometabolic disease. My research has reshaped foundational assumptions in the field, including the physiology of weight loss, body composition change, and metabolic adaptations. I help clients design trials, evaluate data, and communicate the science with rigor, clarity, and strategic insight.

I’ve conducted pioneering research using wearable and other technologies to help quantify how diet and lifestyle influence human health. I consult with companies in the food, tech, and wellness sectors to apply the latest science in nutrition, metabolism, and behavior to their products and services. Whether developing personalized nutrition tools or validating claims with data, I bring a scientist’s discipline and a systems thinker’s perspective.

I’ve delivered more than 250 talks at leading universities, conferences, and events, and my work has been featured by The New York Times, Scientific American, and the BBC. As a speaker, I specialize in translating complex science into compelling stories that resonate with diverse audiences—from academic experts to policymakers and the general public. I’m available for keynote presentations, panel discussions, and media engagements focused on food, nutrition, metabolism, obesity, and health policy.
