An amazing episode with Dr. Ryan P. Lowery, PhD, a national champion baseball player, earned his MS in exercise physiology and exercise and nutrition science from the University of Tampa and his PhD in Health and Human Performance from Concordia University.
Ryan currently serves as the President of the Applied Science and Performance Institute, a 21,000 sq ft facility bridging the gap between the latest research/science and practical application.
Ryan's research has covered the cellular, molecular and whole body changes in muscle size, strength, and power in response to novel nutrition, training and supplement interventions.
On these topics, he has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers, book chapters and abstracts. Ryan has received the Exercise Science Scholar of the Year Award, NSCA Award for Outstanding Presentation of the year award, and the National AAHPERD Exercise Science Major of the Year Award.
In 2017, Ryan and Jacob published, The Ketogenic Bible, which is available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble and is being translated into several different languages. This book was born out of a passion to help educate the masses on the research and practical application behind ketosis, as it relates to therapeutic and performance driven outcomes.
Since its launch, tens of thousands of copies have been sold and Ryan and Jacob have pledged to donate profits from this book to help further ketogenic education and research.
Ryan has been a featured guest on numerous shows, podcast, and interviews over his entire career. Ryan has spoken both nationally and internationally on topics relating to ketosis and the ketogenic lifestyle. Recently, Ryan received his Ph.D. in Health and Human Performance. His dissertation focused on the effects of a well-formulated ketogenic diet and exogenous ketone supplementation on various markers of health and body composition in both healthy and diseased populations.
Ryan realized there was an enormous need to help sift through the noise and provide clarity. Ryan's approach is very simple: develop the context of the situation, understand that everyone is individualized, be open to new ideas and research findings, and be able to translate that information into something that can be put into meaningful use in order to help someone effectively live a better life. Ryan's initiative #makepositivitylouder stands by his own MO of never putting other's down, but rather extending a helping a hand and being willing to help as often as possible.
Dr. Ryan Lowery currently lives in Tampa, Florida. He enjoys making low carbohydrate alternatives to his favorite high carbohydrate foods.
