Andy Galpin

Dr. Andy Galpin, Ph.D., is a world-renowned human performance scientist, tenured full Professor, and Executive Director of the Human Performance Center at Parker University. He earned his Ph.D. in Human Bioenergetics from Ball State University and has spent over two decades studying skeletal muscle physiology from the whole-body level down to single muscle fibers and molecular signaling. Galpin previously built and directed the Biochemistry and Molecular Exercise Physiology Laboratory and co-directed the Center for Sport Performance at California State University, Fullerton. His research has produced more than 100 peer-reviewed publications and presentations, covering topics such as muscle fiber adaptations to resistance training, the effects of heavy resistance bands on power movements, intermittent dieting in athletes, and innovative single-fiber protein analysis techniques. Dr. Galpin is a Fellow of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and holds CSCS*D and NSCA-CPT*D certifications with distinction. He regularly appears on major platforms including the Huberman Lab podcast, Joe Rogan Experience, and his own Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin podcast, where he breaks down evidence-based protocols for strength, hypertrophy, endurance, recovery, sleep, and nutrition. Beyond academia, Dr. Galpin coaches some of the world’s highest performers — Olympic gold medalists, UFC fighters, NFL and MLB athletes, PGA golfers, and military special forces. He has co-founded companies focused on recovery, biomolecular optimization, and rapid health reporting. A highly sought-after keynote speaker, he excels at making complex science actionable for both elite performers and everyday individuals seeking to optimize their physical and mental potential.
