Noted researcher Dr. Paul Arciero has devoted his career to helping people get more active and eat more natural, healthier foods.<\/p>\n

It all started in the dirt of a community garden.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of my fondest childhood memories come from tending that garden with my mother,\u201d Arciero said, recalling the hot summers harvesting in rural Connecticut. \u201cGoing there with her, tending to the earth, getting dirty \u2013 that was my introduction to healthy nourishment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The key themes of fitness and family continue with some of Arciero\u2019s latest work as well. He recently developed a new app, with help from his son Nick, a developer and coder. The GenioFit app lets a person know what they should eat and when they should exercise, Arciero said. He leads exercise videos in the app, as well as guided meditations.<\/p>\n

\u201cGenioFit embraces all the fundamental premises and mission of the research I\u2019ve done, the organizations I represent, and who I am,\u201d Arciero said. \u201cIt\u2019s imperative that we engage in lifestyle strategies that engage healthy eating and exercise. There\u2019s a synergy that lets us derive a significantly greater benefit when the two are together.\u201d<\/p>\n

He has spent 25 years at Skidmore College where he is a professor of nutrition and exercise science and director of the Human Nutrition & Metabolism Laboratory.<\/p>\n

Arciero has published over 50 peer-reviewed scientific journals, but his education in the world of healthy living didn\u2019t all come from the classroom or the laboratory.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy research has examined and explored the lifestyle strategies of physical activity and exercise training, combined with healthy eating,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s based on human science, not computer science. Having an understanding of the human experience is something I pride myself on.\u201d<\/p>\n

An important part of that experience has been family.<\/p>\n

Arciero, the fifth of seven children, grew up gathering around for healthy meals and excelling in sports at school.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mother was ahead of her time, knowing that eating well is linked to how you feel and how you are,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In college at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, Conn., Arciero and his brother John were on a three-month tour with the European Satellite Tennis Circuit when his interests in exercise, nutrition and academia all snapped together.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn helped me develop the ability to be more appreciating and conscious of the power of your mind,\u201d Arciero said. \u201cHe was a tipping point of understanding my intellect.\u201d<\/p>\n

From there, Arciero went on to receive two masters of science degrees, from Purdue University and the University of Vermont. He earned a doctorate from Springfield College and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo.<\/p>\n
