Research

During the completion of my Master’s Degree in Metabolic Diseases of Bone, I researched vitamin D levels in healthy adult males and correlated these levels to the subjects’ lifestyles (levels of sun exposure, diet, exercise, smoking, BMI, etc.). My research was published in a peer-reviewed paper. I have also been published in other peer-reviewed papers.
