Gatorade Sports Science Institute

As a consulting Sport Scientist for the Gatorade Sports Science Institute, I get to take part in cutting-edge data collection and research! I travel across the country to complete sweat testing analyses on for athletes in a variety of collegiate sports to identify sweat rates and sodium sweat content. This helps us to make individualized hydration plans and recommendations to promote optimal hydration and a reduced potential for cramping, injury and performance detriments from dehydration. In addition, I recently helped to facilitate a study within the NBA focused on assessing Omega-3 blood status to guide recommendations for dietary intake for optimal fueling, recovery and overall health.
