What's on your plate?
In today's episode I am chatting with Dr. David McMillan, a clinical researcher from the Miami a Project to cure paralysis. His area of focus is fitness and nutrition and metabolic science for those with a spinal cord injury.
With thanksgiving right around the corner we talk about avoiding major weight gain around the holidays.
Ramp it up!
In 2010 David was serendipitously involved in a community research project involving exercise and people with SCI. This experience set David on a trajectory, and he is now a clinical researcher using metabolic science to learn about SCI and identify low-tech / low-cost strategies for targeting obesity in people with SCI. His doctoral dissertation sought to understand if SCI changes the way that the body transports and stores the fat from a meal. Outside the laboratory David is an avid purveyor of adaptive outdoor recreation, including being a seasoned adaptive scuba dive buddy. His love of inclusivity and nature has also led him to advocacy pertaining to the disproportionate effect that climate change has on people with disability.
