#105 - The Educated Meathead - Dr. Chris Marvin

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.
