Has Dr. Pete Sulack published any peer-reviewed research or clinical studies on nutrition?
Executive summary
Available reporting and online material show Dr. Pete Sulack is a practicing chiropractor and wellness entrepreneur who teaches and markets nutrition-related continuing education and protocols, and who publicly shares a personal cancer-recovery narrative and an 87‑page “Resilience Protocol” focused on nutrition, detox and metabolic approaches [1] [2] [3]. None of the provided sources identify peer‑reviewed nutrition research articles or clinical trials authored by Sulack in scientific journals; the sources document CE courses, media interviews, clinic pages and promotional materials but do not list peer‑reviewed publications [1] [3] [2] [4].
1. Who Dr. Pete Sulack appears to be in the available reporting
Public profiles describe Sulack as a chiropractor, founder of a large clinic network (Redeem Health / Exodus Chiropractic), a medical consultant, and a promoter of functional, metabolic and holistic protocols tied to nutrition and detoxification; these roles are presented in a mix of clinic pages and interviews rather than scientific bibliographies [3] [4] [2].
2. What the sources show about his nutrition-related activity
Sulack’s website and event listings advertise continuing-education (CE) courses that include explicit nutrition hours (for example, 4–5 CE hours of Nutrition listed for state CE approvals) and multi-day CE events addressing nutrition and neuroscience of stress [1] [5]. Podcast and media appearances describe his “exact nutrition, detox, and mindset protocols” and reference a downloadable 87‑page protocol he offers free [2].
3. No peer‑reviewed nutrition studies are found in these materials
The search results provided include interviews, CE event pages, clinic listings and promotional material; none of these results cite or link to peer‑reviewed journal articles or clinical trials authored by Sulack. Therefore, available sources do not mention peer‑reviewed research or clinical studies by Dr. Sulack in nutrition journals [1] [3] [2] [4].
4. What the materials do cite or reference — secondary science and protocols
Some promotional copy on Sulack’s pages references external scientific articles or authors (for example, a citation-style reference to Seyfried et al., Frontiers in Nutrition, 2014, in a clinic blurb), but that appears as supportive context for metabolic/ketosis strategies rather than as Sulack’s own publications [3]. That is, the sources show he cites existing literature to justify protocols rather than documenting original peer‑reviewed studies he authored [3].
5. Distinguishing marketing, CE instruction, and peer‑reviewed research
CE events, clinic writeups and podcasts are legitimate channels for education and patient outreach but are not the same as peer‑reviewed scientific publications. The materials here document CE credit listings, promotional protocol PDFs and personal testimony — all forms of professional activity — but do not meet the standard of indexed, peer‑reviewed nutrition research [1] [5] [2].
6. Competing perspectives and limitations in the record
The sources present Sulack as an experienced clinician and a storyteller of personal recovery; supporters will view his CE teaching and protocol distribution as practical, experience‑based guidance [2] [1]. Critics or those focused on evidence hierarchy may note that the provided material lacks peer‑reviewed clinical trial reports or journal articles listing Sulack as an author; available sources do not mention such publications [3] [4]. The record is limited to the documents provided here — other databases or index searches (PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar) are not included in the materials you gave me, so absence in these sources is not proof of absence elsewhere.
7. What to do next if you need verification of peer‑reviewed work
If you want to confirm whether Dr. Sulack has peer‑reviewed nutrition publications, search academic indexes (PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar) for “Pete Sulack” or “Peter Sulack” and check author lists and journal citations; also request a CV or publication list from Dr. Sulack’s professional site or contact his clinic media/PR address — the current sources supply CE and media materials but do not include a publication list [1] [3] [2].
Summary: the supplied sources document Sulack’s teaching, patient-facing protocols and promotional media around nutrition and metabolic approaches, but do not show peer‑reviewed nutrition or clinical trial publications authored by him; available sources do not mention such peer‑reviewed research [1] [3] [2] [4].
