Moran Sciamama-Saghiv PhD.webp

On a Personal Note

I am the father to my four amazing children Aviv, Michael, Noam, and Romi, and husband to my gorgeous wife Jayme.

I am also a fur dad to Mia, a three years old female Weimaraner bird dog, and Riley, a three years old female Vizsla bird dog. I have always loved interacting with others, and being part of other people's life and journey on Earth. I love the adding knowledge to others, and being a source for good and the professionalism of others. I love the color blue, tigers, history, science, documentaries about the world and animals, and entrepreneurial projects.

Entrepreneurship

Together with my wife Jayme, we established Visionary Entrepreneurship LLC (VE LLC) as a means to further create more entrepreneurial projects. All our projects offered through VE LLC aim to offer high quality services at affordable prices. Our projects span from a free online immigration community, several clothing and accessories brands, graphic design services, two children's books, to projects still being established such as a job portal, daycare portal, world championship of knowledge and more. You can visit https://www.visionary-entrepreneurship.com/our-projects to learn more about each one of our entrepreneurial project or use the links provided below to visit each one separately.

Research

My research focuses on exercise modalities, oxidative stress, and anti-aging as reflected via the changes in Soluble-Klotho levels and Klotho gene expression in health, disease, as well as across age and sex. Past research endeavors include left ventricular function, exercise testing protocol development, changes to bio-markers as a response to exercise, and more.

Military Service

Born in Israel. military service is mandatory. I joined the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), served in the Army as an officer, then continued to serve in the reserves until 2014. During the several last years of my reserve duty service, I specialized in leading the physical aspects of the screening processes for special ops units, the Air Force and more. Furthermore, I specialized in the creation or adjustment of special and specific screening exercises according to the operational nature of the units. Additionally, I advised the units themselves and the IDF's Combat Fitness Instructional School (Instructional Base 10).
