Professional Interests
- Lifestyle, hormonal, and anabolic interventions to ameliorate sarcopenic obesity and frailty
Professional Statement
I am a physician-scientist with specialized training in geriatrics and endocrinology. I have extensive clinical and research experience focused on the effects of lifestyle interventions in reversing frailty among older adults with obesity. My clinical and translational laboratories explore hormonal, nutritional, and behavioral lifestyle interventions aimed at slowing down or reversing the metabolic and physical complications of aging, which include sarcopenic obesity and type 2 diabetes. I am committed to conducting research that informs practice guidelines regarding optimal treatment strategies for older adults dealing with obesity.Websites
