ABOUT LATT MANSOR
Dr. Latt Mansor holds a PhD in Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics from the University of Oxford, where his research focused on the metabolism of the type 2 diabetic heart in hypoxia. He also holds an M.A. (Columbia University) and B.Sc. (Hons) (University of Nottingham) in Biotechnology. He is a world expert in physiology and metabolism, and consults with elite sport, military, clinical and research organizations.
Principal Investigator of a $6 million military contract on exogenous ketones - Dr. Mansor is the Research Lead at H.V.M.N., overseeing all of the company’s research efforts and collaborations with universities and research institutions. Currently, he is the principal investigator of the $6 million U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) contract awarded to H.V.M.N by the Department of Defense, with a targeted completion date of October 2022. This project focuses on operator performance in hypoxia (low oxygen environment), which has applications for soldier performance at altitude, in mountains, on fighter jets, and, potentially one day, in space.
Interest and previous research in diabetes and cardiovascular disease - His interest in diabetes and cardiovascular disease stemmed from the high prevalence of those diseases in both his parents’ families. He then developed interests in metabolism and exercise during his undergraduate years as he created a mathematical model of adipose tissue (fat) metabolism for his final year project. He then researched using exercise as an intervention for sarcopenia, muscle loss due to aging, for his Master’s thesis. Along his journey of acquiring more knowledge on metabolic health and physiology, he started applying his findings in his daily life to strive for better health and to prove that genetic disposition to chronic diseases is not the entire equation. Epigenetics and lifestyle choices have been proven to change the trajectory of disease progression or in some cases, even reverse it!
Personal health journey from smoking cessation to weight loss - The turning point was when he realized that he was only 22 years old and already living an extremely unhealthy lifestyle. Weighing over 200 lbs, never exercised unless he was forced to and a heavy smoker that smoked 30-40 cigarettes a day to boot! The more knowledge he acquired, the more he understands that he is doing injustice to his body and is definitely not helping his genetic disposition towards diabetes and cardiovascular disease so he turned his life around, quit smoking, started with only jogging around the park to joining a gym, quit drinking soda every day and started eating healthy. It was not an easy journey but it has certainly been a self-discovery and rewarding journey nonetheless. He is now committed to finding new ways to make his insights more relatable and accessible to the general public.
Although his education was primarily in health sciences, Latt always believed that collaborative efforts between science and business have more potential to create an impact in improving people’s lives than each on its own.
