Greg Wells

Dr. Greg Wells is a scientist, human physiologist, and best-selling author. He is one of the rare researchers who can take complex science and make it understandable and actionable so that people can get healthy and perform to their true potential.

After breaking his neck at age 15 and making a return to elite level swimming, Greg has explored every imaginable terrain and condition in over 50 countries. He participated in the grueling Nanisivik Marathon 600 miles north of the Arctic Circle, Ironman Canada, and the Tour d’Afrique, an 11,000 km cycling race that is the longest in the world.

Academically, Dr. Wells earned a Ph.D. in Human Physiology. He was a tenured professor of Kinesiology at the University of Toronto and is now a Senior Scientist in Translational Medicine at SickKids Hospital.

For over 25 years, Dr. Wells has worked with some of the highest-performing individuals on the planet while consulting with companies like BMW, GE, the Royal Bank, Deloitte, Samsung, and eBay. He is also committed to inspiring children and young adults through his close working relationships with school boards and independent schools around the world.

Dr. Wells is the author of five best-selling books—Superbodies, The Ripple Effect, The Focus Effect, Rest, Refocus, Recharge, and Powerhouse. He also hosted the award-winning Superbodies series, which aired on Olympic broadcasts worldwide in 2010 and 2012.

Dr. Wells has spoken to audiences all over the world at events such as TEDx, Mastermind Talks, and The Titan Summit, where he has shared the stage with Robin Sharma, Richard Branson, Steve Wozniak, and Deepak Chopra.

Dr. Wells’ moonshot is to solve the billion-person problem of sleeplessness, metabolic syndrome, inactivity, and mental health. To that end, he is the founder of Wells Performance, a consulting firm committed to helping teams, schools, and businesses become places where people get healthy, perform optimally, and reach their potential.
