Volek obtained a MSc in Exercise Physiology in 1995 and PhD in Kinesiology from Pennsylvania State University in 1999.[1] He is a registered dietitian.[2]
Volek is a professor in the Department of Human Sciences at Ohio State University.[1] He has obtained over $7 million in research grants to study the health outcomes of low-carbohydrate diets.[3][4] He co-founded Virta Health Corp and serves as Chief Science Officer.[1] As of 2023, Volek is investigating the use of ketogenic diets in brain metastases.[5]
Volek is on the advisory board of Atkins-HCP (owned by Atkins Nutritionals) and co-authored a book promoting a modified version of the Atkins diet.[4][6] Volek promotes a diet high in saturated fat and has disputed the saturated fat guidelines.[7]
Volek's book The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living, co-authored with Stephen D. Phinney received an overall score of 74% by Red Pen Reviews, including a score of 63% for scientific accuracy. The review concluded that "we think Art and Science could be a useful book for people interested in low-carb diets, but they may want to view its scientific claims with some caution."[8]
