When did you begin living an active lifestyle and  what motivates you to  continue living an active lifestyle:
I have been active since age 13.  Exercise is ingrained in my DNA!

How has your life been impacted by both professional and personally by your lifestyle choices?
My life revolves around fitness and nutrition.  My scientific work as a sports nutrition scientist dovetails nicely with my recreational athletic background.

How often and for how long do you train/practice your sport?
I  train 5 days a week for at least one hour.

Best advice or quote:
“See what everyone else is doing, and do something different.”

Tell us more:
I’m a scientist by training, but certainly not by personality.  I teach, publish scientific and consumer articles, and host 3 radio shows.  I prefer to do what others are not.  And I live by my own rules.  Don’t let criticism drive you from doing things that are different and unique.  Life is too long to do the same sh#$ everyone else is doing.
