#17 - A Scientific and Simple Approach with Jermel Pierre

TeamWellnessT.O.

This week we chatted with Jermel Pierre (@jermelp), BSc, MSc. 💪 Jermel is fascinated with why we as humans do the things we do, both from a cognitive and behavioural standpoint. 📚

Jermel studied kinesiology for his undergraduate degree, and followed this up by completing a double masters degree in Cognitive Psychology and Muscle Physiology. Following school, he followed my curiosity for both the body and mind by becoming a Cardiac & Psychiatric Researcher at Toronto General Hospital, investigating quality of life in patients who had undergone aortic valve replacement.

His love for the human body extends into fitness, having certifications as a CPTN-CPT. This along with his educational background has helped him to understand the human body from the micro level. Understanding the needs of the body through what we put into it and what we expend out. Or simply put “Energy In, Energy Out”. Jermel is also the Co-Creator of RX Fit, an online platform that calculates individual energy needs and expenditure based on metabolic function and exercise activity. RX Fit will be making its debut in the new year!

We cannot wait for you to listen to this weeks episode. 🎙 He provides so much knowledge and takes a very logical approach to wellness. 👌
