The Nutrition, Exercise, and Stress Laboratory (NESL) was established to examine exercise and dietary interventions on stressed physiological conditions.
NESL’s research has focused on improving the health of those experiencing stress-related mental conditions such as PTSD as well as those with stressful occupations such as firefighters. Dietary interventions thus far have included the ketogenic diet, fasting, and hydration maintenance.
NESL houses the Firefighter Research Program.
NESL has a range of equipment to measure body composition, blood health, aerobic and anaerobic fitness capacity, and cardiovascular health.
The effects of ketogenic diet on physiological, cognitive, and emotional health variables in veterans with PTSD or traumatic brain injury
Physiological effects of ketogenic-associated supplements, and dietary effects on fertility levels in women
The Firefighter Health and Performance Program was established to examine the health and performance of firefighters and then determine effective and applicable methods for improvement. Research areas include sleep quality, cardiovascular health, inflammation, mental health, physical performance, back pain, body composition, nutrition, hydration, and core and skin temperatures during various occupational tasks.
