Rethinking Nutrition for Type-1 Diabetics | Andrew Koutnik | TEDxUSF

Whether a scientific expert on nutrition and metabolism or someone who doesnâ??t understand the differences between carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, everyone understands that what you eat influences your appearance, health and well-being. Andrew shares his personal and research perspective to educate, empower, and motivate Type-1 Diabetics like himself to take notice of how a nutritional approach to managing the disease can make a significant difference. Andrew Koutnik grew up in Tallahassee, FL and attended Tallahassee Community College and Florida State University. While at Florida State, Andrew was involved in 11 publications exploring how exercise, nutrition, supplementation, etc. impacted both the cardiovascular and autonomic systems. Andrew received a Presidential Fellowship award to join the Metabolic Therapeutic Lab at USF College of Medicine to study metabolic therapeutics in health, disease, and performance. Here Andrew was a part of multiple publications, presented at international conferences, initiated extra institutional collaborations, and orchestrated two research projects for NASA NEEMO 22.
