Dr. Jeevan Kumar R P

I'm a food scientist, R&D leader, and the writer behind Refuel Club. With over two decades inside global food and beverage R&D labs — most recently as a Senior Leader at PepsiCo — I've spent my career at the intersection of rigorous science and real-world consumer product development.

My work has taken me from bench-top formulation to leading cross-functional teams on global product launches spanning functional beverages, sports nutrition, and gut health innovations. Along the way, I've developed a deep conviction: the public deserves better, more honest science communication when it comes to food and health.

Refuel Club is my answer to that conviction. Every article I write is grounded in peer-reviewed research, tempered by two decades of applied formulation experience, and crafted for professionals and curious consumers who want substance over sensation.
