Dr. Massoud earned his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from the State University of New York at Buffalo, where he also completed graduate-level coursework in nutrition. During this time, he worked with the University of Kentucky basketball program as a strength and conditioning coach, deepening his understanding of biomechanics, movement, physical performance, and human physiology.
He went on to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic from New York Chiropractic College, where he completed an expanded concentration in nutrition. In 2007, Dr. Massoud completed postgraduate training and certification in Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture, becoming a Certified Acupuncturist (CAc) and integrating acupuncture and neuro-meridian principles into his broader approach to structural, neurological, and metabolic health.
