Dr. Austin Graybeal
Assistant Professor
Bio
Dr. Graybeal is an Assistant Professor in the School of Kinesiology & Nutrition at the University of 51¶ºÄÌ Mississippi. Dr. Graybeal earned his BS (2016) and MS (2018) in Kinesiology from Texas Tech University and his Ph.D. in Kinesiology from Texas Christian University in 2021. Dr. Graybeal is an expert in nutrition, body composition, and metabolic syndrome with specific expertise in sports nutrition, nutritional interventions for the prevention and treatment of chronic disease, and the impact of body composition alterations (through diet and exercise) on general health. Currently, his research focuses on the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome where he studies the ability of artificial intelligence / smartphone-based body composition techniques to predict metabolic health risks and the effect of exogenous ketosis on appetite, metabolism, cognition, and cardiometabolic health.
