Ronald Kapp - longevity pioneer
About Dr. Kapp
Santa Barbara-based physician, author and longevity research clinician, Dr. Ron Kapp sees aging as a treatable disease, not an unavoidable fate. A medical practitioner licensed in four U.S. states, he holds several university degrees including a bachelor’s degree (biology) from Ohio State University, a master and doctoral degree (PhD, physiology) from the University of Texas, Austin, and his medical training is from UT-McGovern Medical School in Houston.
His post-graduate training was done at St. Louis University. He completed a research fellowship in sports medicine at Albert Ludwigs University in Freiburg, Germany and is board-certified by the American College of Forensic Medicine. His career has spanned over three decades in 25 different hospital systems and he is the former medical director of the National Park Service at Yosemite NP in California.
Dr. Kapp has dedicated the last ten years to researching functional medicine and alternative healing therapies. His mission is differentiating fact from fiction, hype from hope, and presenting seminars that integrate science with well-proven cultural therapies that have withstood the test of time. His areas of expertise span wellness, enhanced longevity, optimal brain performance, vitality, and improved human performance.
With a passion for teaching, he embraces a holistic approach that emphasizes such things as the importance of nutrition, sleep, exercise, stress reduction, targeted supplements, toxin avoidance and more. He recently authored, Passion to Live, humorously describing his trip to Sardinia as he visited the centenarians of the island.
An avid tennis player, and Guinness World Record holder in the sport, Dr. Kapp is inspired by people’s ability to change their bad habits with an improved lifestyle and implement the modern discoveries of science to prevent and often reverse the chronic diseases of aging.
He believes that optimal wellness living directly leads to an enhanced longevity.
