Luka Ojemaye
Postdoctoral Scholar, SCRDP/ Heart Disease Prevention
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCurrent research centers on advancing athlete health and performance through an interdisciplinary lens that integrates clinical rehabilitation, biomechanics, and health equity. His work explores injury prevention, return-to-play strategies, and the psychosocial dimensions of care—particularly among underrepresented athletic populations. This is exemplified by his deep engagement in studying disparities in athlete mental health. Additionally he is also actively investigating the role of disability and adaptive sports in rehabilitation, and how physiatrists integrate these into community engagement. His research extends to digital health and lifestyle medicine to promote recovery and long-term wellness in athletes. Through community-based initiatives and partnerships he is committed to applying innovative, data-informed solutions to improve health outcomes both within and beyond athletic populations.

Marily Oppezzo
Instructor, Medicine - Stanford Prevention Research Center
BioDr. Oppezzo is an Instructor of Medicine at the Stanford Prevention Research Center and head of the nutrition pillar at Stanford Lifestyle Medicine. She is a behavioral and learning scientist, dietitian, and exercise science interventionist. She earned her PhD in Educational Psychology from Stanford University, and holds a Master’s degree in Nutritional Science, and is board certified Lifestyle Medicine Professional.
Dr. Oppezzo's work combines her extensive training in nutrition, exercise science, and behavioral science to develop innovative interventions that empower individuals to adopt sustainable, healthy habits - integrating them into their already busy lives. With a focus on "minimal dose, maximal gains" she explores the best ways for people to adopt small, actionable changes for significant improvements in health and well-being. She is particularly interested in the impact of "exercise snacks"—short, accessible bouts of physical activity—on productivity, mood, and overall health. One of her key interventions, "Stronger," is designed to provide peri- and post-menopausal women with effective strength training that maximizes benefits while minimizing time commitment. -
