     Biochemistry 160.01:  Food Facts, Fads and Pharmacology
     (Same class I teach at Stanford) This medical school elective reviews the biochemical, clinical and epidemiological
     research with an emphasis on common nutritional concerns of patients: High-protein diets, low-fat diets, low-calorie
     sweeteners, caloric restriction, etc. In discussing the pros and cons of various dietary approaches, the underlying
     principles for human physiological needs (of protein, essential fats, carbohydrate types, phytonutrients, etc) and
     of the negative impact of excesses are discussed.

     Athletics 75: Introduction to Nutrition
     Topics cover the entire spectrum of nutrition: Health, disease and sports performance.

     Athletics 123: Sports Nutrition with Clinical Applications
     This course is an advanced discussion of nutrition topics with both lecture and student presentations. Students evaluate
     published research on topics of interest to them. The central theme of the course is to see how the mechanisms by which
     nutrition positively impacts sports performance relates to the mechanisms of health and disease.

     Interdisciplinary Medicine 225: Food Facts, Fads and Pharmacology
     This medical school elective reviews the biochemical, clinical and epidemiological research with an emphasis on common
     nutritional concerns of patients: High-protein diets, low-fat diets, low-calorie sweeteners, caloric restriction, etc. In
     discussing the pros and cons of various dietary approaches, the underlying principles for human physiological needs (of
     protein, essential fats, carbohydrate types, phytonutrients, etc) and of the negative impact of excesses are discussed.

     Athletics 190: Analysis of Human Movement
     This course investigates human movement from an anatomical and cellular perspective, with roughly half the course
     dedicated to each of these. The anatomical portion covers the bones and muscles of the body with biomechanical
     applications. Cellular aspects cover muscle force generation, sensory processing that leads to movement initiation, bone
     and connective tissue microstructure, and applications to health and performance (chronic pain, muscle cramping,
     recovery and other topics related to human performance).

     Science 12: An Eminently Sensible Intro to Nutrition: Separating Facts from Fads
     A comprehensive course for all members of the community (can be taken by anyone).
