About Jacob Kelly
I’m a cardiologist focused on prevention, performance and physiology.My work centers on how aerobic fitness, strength, metabolic health and rhythm build physiologic reserve long before disease appears.I’ve spent two decades caring for patients with advanced cardiovascular disease while training and coaching endurance athletes — learning where medicine succeeds and where it intervenes too late.Through writing and clinical work, I focus on moving care upstream: applying serious medicine earlier, when it has the greatest impact.I write regularly on Substack about fitness, physiology and prevention before disease shows up.
