Join me, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, on the Flex Diet Podcast for an insightful conversation with Dr. Dani LaMartina, an accomplished physical therapist, IFBB pro, and owner at Paradigm Performance. We discuss key topics on enhancing performance, adding muscle, improving body composition, and moving better, all within a flexible and health-conscious framework.

Learn about systematic coaching, the balance of specialization vs. generalization, hierarchical coaching, navigating client boundaries, and integrating functional neurology and movement models. Dr. Dani shares her wealth of knowledge from working with high-level clients and her experiences in achieving peak performance.

Also, explore the practical application of theories, managing overtraining, leveraging HRV, and the art of coaching. Tune in for a deep dive into holistic approaches to fitness and coaching.
