Dr. Phinney has published more than seventy papers in the peer-reviewed literature and has several patents. His medical degree is from Stanford University and his Ph.D. in nutritional biochemistry is from MIT. He also did postgraduate training at the University of Vermont and Harvard University.
DR. JEFF S. VOLEK is currently an associate professor and exercise and nutrition researcher in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Connecticut. In the last decade, he has published more than two hundred peer-reviewed studies, including seminal work on low-carbohydrate diets that points to the Atkins Diet as a powerful tool to lose weight and improve metabolic health. He has provided some of the most convincing evidence that dietary fat, even saturated fat, can be healthy when consumed in the context of a lower-carbohydrate diet.

He combines clinical research and clinical care in lifestyle treatments for obesity, diabetes, and tobacco dependence.
