Joyce Curry

Dr. Joyce Curry is an Assistant Professor of Anatomy and Exercise Science at Colorado Christian University, affiliated with the School of Science and Engineering within the College of Undergraduate Studies. With 27 years of teaching experience, she instructs undergraduate and graduate courses in biology, kinesiology, and nutritional sciences, serving both major and non-major allied health students.

Her educational background includes a B.S. and M.S. in Biology/Chemistry, and a Ph.D. in Nutrition/Exercise Physiology. Dr. Curry emphasizes a growth-oriented pedagogical approach, striving to instill confidence and high academic standards in her students.

Her research interests center on exercise physiology, nutritional interventions, and the integration of faith and science. She actively explores how diet impacts brain function and women's health, particularly through ketogenic formulations and plant-based supplements. Her recent work reflects a focus on metabolic health, cognitive performance, and wellness in aging populations.

Dr. Curry has published two research studies in 2020, both investigating the effects of specialized nutritional products. One examines a ketogenic medium-chain triglyceride formulation on brain function, while the other studies bergamot supplementation in menopausal women. These works indicate a research trend in evidence-based nutraceuticals and their physiological and psychological impacts.
