Professional Information

Dr. Catherine Saenz joins 91成人AV as an Assistant Professor for the 2018 Fall semester after completing a postdoctorate fellowship with the Cleveland Indians in Nutrition and Sport Science. She specializes in exercise metabolism and physiology. Her main areas of study include the mechanisms and applications of ketogenic diets and bridging the gap between exercise science and sport nutrition. Her research interests extend into how diet manipulation and exercise may affect human genomics and gut microbial communities. She is keen on how to best translate this information to the applied setting for optimizing health, wellness, and performance. Dr. Saenz is especially passionate about sharing how exercise and nutrition can support each of these areas with the classroom, athletics, community, and minority/Spanish-speaking populations.
