Dr. Wolfe couples scientific expertise with broad experience as a competitive athlete, having been both a professional basketball player and competitive marathon runner who has set national age-group records. Dr. Wolfe served as a faculty member at Harvard Medical School, and the focus of Dr. Wolfe’s 40 years of medical research has been primarily on aging, metabolism, and muscle performance.
