ABOUT DR. DAWSON
Dr. Matthew Dawson attended medical school at The University of Kentucky before completing his residency in emergency medicine at The University of Utah, where he served as both chief resident and fellow. He has practiced medicine and was an associate professor at the University of Kentucky for 7 years, with an acute interest in functional medicine and, later, genomics. Dr. Dawson’s obsession with performance optimization began well before medical school. In high school, he would implement any fitness or nutrition technique that’d give him ‘an edge’ in athletics, resulting in college scholarship offers in two sports. Dr. Dawson carried this obsession with him through medical school and into his profession as a physician, earning numerous national awards for education, innovation, and leadership on account of his research and approach to health care. Dr. Dawson crystallized this approach to providing patients with true health care, rather than sick care, by building Wild Health – a Precision Medicine service providing personalized, genetics-based care to help patients achieve optimal wellbeing. In that, Dr. Dawson has also trained thousands of physicians in Precision Medicine through online education, and has lectured in over twenty countries around the world. Dr. Dawson also co-hosts the Wild Health Podcast, a tool for teaching thousands about personalized, genetics-based Precision Medicine. His passion to help patients maximize their health span and perform at their absolute best considers all aspects of health: mental, physical, and spiritual.

Life-Changing Results
Strength at Every Age

"I'm 71 years old. I wasn’t doing any weight training, no testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), or anything else. All we did was increase my protein intake, optimize my diet, and use Katalyst for five months. Before and after I did a DEXA scan, the results were incredible—I had gained 13 pounds of muscle. "

Jim. D

"The Katalyst allows me to maintain the muscle mass I want with less risk from heavy weights and the strain those weights put on my back and joints."

Dr. Matt Dawson

"As someone that has struggled with injuries and putting on muscle in the gym the Katalyst has effectively allowed me to rehab injuries while putting on muscle. I couldn't imagine life without it."
