My team studies the complex relationships among adiposity, inactivity, and metabolic health. Specifically, I study the ways that lifestyle and obesity may predict future metabolic disease and inform lifestyle interventions. I have NIH funding to study adiposity, sedentary behavior, and cardiorespiratory fitness on metabolic health (insulin sensitivity and beta-cell responsivity from OGTT) during pregnancy. I also work with the CARDIA Study. Next on my agenda: microbiome & exercise in prevention.
