Tod Olin

Dr. Tod Olin serves as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Human Physiology & Nutrition at the Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Beth-El College of Nursing and Health Sciences, University of Colorado Colorado Springs. He concurrently directs the National Jewish Health Exercise and Performance Breathing Center, focusing on clinical applications for exercise-related breathing disorders.

His educational credentials include:

• 1998: BA in Biology from Rice University, Houston, Texas
• 2005: Doctor of Medicine from the University of Texas Medical School at San Antonio (GPA 4.0, Class Rank 1/200)
• 2005-2006: Pediatrics Internship at The Children’s Hospital, University of Colorado
• 2006-2008: Pediatrics Residency at The Children’s Hospital, University of Colorado
• 2008-2011: Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine Fellowship at The Children’s Hospital, University of Colorado
• 2011: Master of Clinical Sciences (Clinical Investigation Track) from University of Colorado Denver

Dr. Olin specializes in pediatric airways disease and high-performance exercise limitation, with concentrated expertise in dyspnea on exertion, exercise intolerance in children, exercise-induced asthma (EIA), and exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO). His research bridges clinical pulmonology and exercise physiology to develop interventions for diverse populations—from chronically ill children to Olympic athletes—ensuring safe and comfortable physical activity across health and fitness spectrums. His publications in pediatric airways disease and exercise limitation inform evidence-based approaches at the National Jewish Health center he directs.

As a Clinical Associate Professor, Dr. Olin integrates clinical leadership with academic instruction in human physiology, emphasizing practical applications for breathing disorders during exertion. His work exemplifies translational medicine through the Exercise and Performance Breathing Center’s diagnostic and therapeutic protocols.
