Biography
Lisa L. Smith, PhD
Lecturer
I have been teaching since beginning graduate school in 2008 and can say that I have finally found my calling. I love teaching and the Exercise Science and Health Promotion Department is a great fit for me both as an instructor and as a researcher. I have been active my entire life and I enjoy teaching others about the physical, emotional and psychological benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Not only do students learn the actual knowledge on wellness, but they learn the obstacles to achieving it and how to overcome those challenges and to design their best lives possible.
My research interests include: Mindfulness, bariatric surgery, gut flora, substance abuse, meditation, and obesity.
