In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chris “Marv” Marvin. Dr. Christopher (MARV) Marvin DC has been involved in health, wellness and fitness for over 17 years. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Sonoma State University and his Doctor of Chiropractic from Palmer College West in San Jose, California as class valedictorian. Dr. Marv acquired extensive experience in the physical therapy space during his undergraduate studies, as well as in the corporate gym environment as a fitness coach and specialist. He owned and managed a private training studio, specializing in one-to-one and online training as well as writing. Dr. Marv has had 9 surgeries, multiple broken bones, muscle/ligament tears, a head injury, etc. yet has found a way to train and progress in the gym for over 17 years – even when multiple medical professionals told him he should simply give up the gym and other hobbies such as playing guitar. If you can think of a specific injury, he’s probably personally dealt with it or at least rehabbed in office. His personal story is one of the main reasons why he is so obsessed about helping folks continue to improve their quality of life and performance no matter what they are facing – primarily as a performance chiropractor, but also as an online coach and educator. He plans to launch an app as well as a re-write of his nutrition book/course in 2025 while continuing to grow his performance chiropractic office.We Discuss:What is the educated meathead? The critical thought process to think laterally. What is the triage process to determine what gets applied and where? Systems-based thinking. Pushing limits and expediting recovery timelines. Implementing remote care into the business model. Fostering curiosity and never being dogmatic. What comes into play when choosing continuing education? Getting back to something that closely resembles training. Starting the intervention with a person-first approach. Using yourself as a guinea pig with modalities. Utilizing blood flow restriction differently. Multiple modality integration. Frequency of work. Empowering clients to adhere outside of the clinic. How can coaches get better at the rehab process with clients? Becoming a master before expanding your education.Nutrition supplementation and sleep. Being able to validate your recommendations with education and data? Pro-resolving mediators impacting recovery and inflammation. What's next for Dr. Marv and the business? Evidence-based practice as a three-pronged approach.Find Dr. Marv:Websites: www.theeducatedmeathead.com, www.coastalperformancechiro.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.marvin.saysdc/, https://www.instagram.com/theeducatedmeathead_com/__________Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.
