In this episode of Run with Fitpage, we have Dr Joseph Watso with us to speak about the heart. Dr Joe discusses lifestyle factors that affect the cardiovascular system and alot more with our host, Vikas Singh.

Dr. Joseph Watso is an Assistant Professor and the Director of the Cardiovascular & Applied Physiology (CAP) Laboratory at Florida State University in the Department of Health, Nutrition, and Food Sciences. With a focus on cardiovascular health and physiology, Dr. Watso leads research aimed at understanding and preventing cardiovascular disease, particularly in clinical populations such as those with obesity, hypertension, and older adults. His work also explores strategies to mitigate the impact of environmental stressors, like heatwaves, on heart and blood vessel health. Dr. Watso's research journey began as an undergraduate at Salisbury University's Laboratory for Human Performance (2013-2015). He later completed graduate research in the Cardiovascular Physiology Laboratory at the University of Delaware (2015-2019), where he examined the effects of high dietary salt and dehydration on blood pressure regulation during exercise. As a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (2019-2022), he led studies on how pain medications impact the nervous system, heart, and blood vessels, and contributed to research on cooling strategies for vulnerable populations.

Passionate about science communication, Dr. Watso also writes to make cutting-edge health research accessible to the public. His mission is to bridge the gap between academic science and practical health advice, empowering people to better understand and improve their cardiovascular health. The long-term goal of the CAP Lab is to advance prevention and treatment strategies for cardiovascular disease and improve public health outcomes. Dr. Watso's commitment to cardiovascular health research and public education continues to shape his work, ensuring his contributions have a lasting impact both in academia and beyond.
