Loren Cordain (born October 24, 1950) is an American scientist who specializes in the fields of nutrition and exercise physiology. He is notable as an advocate of the Paleolithic diet[1] and a researcher into paleolithic nutrition; he wrote numerous peer-reviewed articles on the subject, as well as several popular books, most notably, The Paleo Diet.[2] He has written that diet is the root of many modern health problems such as cardiovascular disease,[3][4] autoimmune diseases,[5] acne,[6] and hyperinsulinemic diseases.[7]
Loren Cordain obtained a B.S. in Health Sciences from Pacific University, Forest Grove, Oregon in 1972. In 1978 he got his M.Sc. in Exercise Physiology at the University of Nevada-Reno. In 1981 he was awarded his Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology by the University of Utah, Salt Lake City.[8]
He is currently a tenured professor in the Department of Health and Exercise Science at Colorado State University.[8]
