Dr. Rhonda Patrick
Biomedical Scientist
Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D. is a biomedical scientist and expert on nutritional health, brain & aging. She received her doctorate in biomedical science from the University of Tennessee and completed postdoctoral training at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where she investigated the link between mitochondrial metabolism, apoptosis, and cancer. Dr. Patrick has published research on vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and their effects on brain health and aging. She is the founder of FoundMyFitness, a platform dedicated to translating complex scientific findings into actionable health information. Through her podcast and YouTube channel, she interviews leading researchers and provides evidence-based protocols for optimizing health. Dr. Patrick is particularly known for her deep dives into micronutrient deficiencies, heat stress (sauna use), cold exposure, time-restricted eating, and their effects on longevity. Her research background in aging, cancer, and nutrition, combined with her ability to synthesize vast amounts of scientific literature, has made her a trusted source for those seeking to understand the mechanisms behind health interventions. She regularly speaks at conferences and continues to publish peer-reviewed research while maintaining her role as a science communicator. Her evidence-based approach emphasizes the importance of lifestyle factors in preventing chronic disease.
