Jeff S. Volek studies how carbohydrate intake and dietary fat/carbohydrate balance affect metabolism, exercise performance, and chronic disease outcomes such as type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, and obesity. Much of his work examines low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets in both athletes and clinical populations, including long-term studies on diabetes remission and cardiometabolic health. He also contributes to broader scientific and policy discussions about dietary guidelines and low-carbohydrate nutrition.
