Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter.

All right, everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast.

I'm your host, Zach Bitter, and today I have a guest interview for you.

Today's guest is Andrew Kootenik.

Andrew Kutnik is a PhD and a research scientist

studying the influence of lifestyle and metabolism on health, disease, and performance. He

originally began his research path at Florida State University in exercise science. During his time

at Florida State University, Andrew was trained in the human sciences cardiovascular

laboratory studying the influence of nutrition, exercise, supplementation, and environmental

extremes on health-based outcomes in normal and clinical populations across cardiovascular,

autonomic, and skeletal muscle tissue systems.

Andrew then was awarded the Presidential Fellowship to attend the University of South Florida,

where he received his doctorate in biomedical sciences.

Andrew's research focused on studying metabolism and metabolic therapies for health, disease, and performance outcomes.

Beyond his primary efforts in academia, Andrew Kutnik

was invited to give a TEDx talk on his personal journey using lifestyle and metabolic factors

to manage his type 1 diabetes for over 14 years. Andrew's journey with type 1 diabetes has given
