Joe Klemczewski, Ph.D.
Dr. Klemczewski received his Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Therapy from the Indiana University School of Medicine. While working as an orthopedic outpatient physical therapist, he continued his education by earning a Masters and Doctorate in health and nutrition related fields. Along the way, he also studied for and passed the renowned Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist examination with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). He is currently finishing a second doctoral dissertation investigating all contributing causes of childhood obesity and a corrective approach. He will graduate in May with a PhD in Health Education from Madison University.
Athletics led Klemczewski to weight training by the age of thirteen and he competed in his first bodybuilding contest at the age of twenty. By the age of twenty-seven he won his pro card with the World Natural Bodybuilding Federation (WNBF) and has competed in pro bodybuilding's largest venues including the Mr. International and Mr. Universe contests.
Shortly after finishing his first doctorate and winning his pro card, Dr. Joe created a wellness corporation and opened a fitness facility. He next founded Genetitec, Inc., a supplement company specializing in proprietary protein formulations. His new company, The Diet Docs, LLC, co-founded with Dr. Scott Uloth, MD, is pursuing book publishing opportunities and potential weight-loss program franchising. Joe specializes in intensive nutritional consulting, much of which is medically supervised by referring physicians. He also works with the highest-level professional bodybuilders, models and the general public through his innovative online nutritional program (www.thedietdoc.com). This program has helped thousands of clients since its inception and carries an active client load in the hundreds. Monthly travels around the nation to give motivational and instructional workshops keep Dr. Klemczewski anchored in the health culture.
Joe has currently put his weekly weight-loss radio show, Dr. Joe; America's Permanent Weight Loss Expert, on hold to complete book projects. Metabolic Transformation: The Ultimate Fat Loss Guide is Dr. Joe's first published book and he has been a contributing science editor for Chelo Publishing, a health and fitness magazine publisher in New York, for the last five years. His articles regularly appear in Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness and Best Body. Most recently Dr. Klemczewski has been named the president of the national nutritional advisory board of BiggerFasterStronger, Inc., an athletic training company.
