This week we are talking with Dr. Steven Geanopulos. Dr. G is a renowned Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist dedicated to holistic health. He is one of America’s leading experts in lifelong, optimized living. In today’s conversation we are going to discuss the benefits of strength training and the importance of having a proper physical movement assessment. The vast majority of people overestimate their physical capabilities and are unaware of important structural imbalances hence why having a professional movement assessment is paramount to designing the proper fitness plan. Today’s conversation is the final part of the Live 100 series with Dr G. In my prior two conversations with Dr G, we discussed the importance of VO2 max testing, body composition and blood work and today, strength training and physical movement assessment. When combined, these 5 pillars are without a doubt, the most effective and powerful methods for improving, and maintaining health. Our Live 100 program kicks off in the Fall of 2024 and encompasses these 5 pillars, with the mission of improving how long and how well clients live their life.

This week we are talking with Dr. Steven Geanopulos. Dr. G is a renowned Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist dedicated to holistic health. He is one of America’s leading experts in lifelong, optimized living. In today’s conversation we are going to discuss two important health topics, body composition and blood work. When people think of body composition the focus is almost always on body weight. While body weight is important there are numerous other factors at play that provide a true insight into health and tracking progress long term. Bloodwork gives practitioners an in-depth look at how your body is functioning internally. These numbers provide insight and the ability to correctly prescribe nutrition protocols, supplements and lifestyle recommendations, all with the intent to maximize health. In my prior conversation with Dr G we discussed the importance of VO2 max testing, today our discussion will be focused on body composition and blood work and our next conversation will be on strength and physical movement assessment. When combined, these 5 pillars are without a doubt the most effective and powerful method to improving, and maintaining health.
