The Neurology of Performance (and more)
|
First off, huge thanks to everyone who has enrolled in the Flexible Meathead Cardio Level 1 course! Wahooo. The doors closed last night and we had an epic almost 2 hour session live this AM. Thank you to everyone who got up early at 3 AM their time or stayed up super late to attend live and ask questions. Myself and the wonderful wifey Jodie are hard at work processing the videos and getting them uploaded into the online learning environment as fast as we can. Our goal is to get them all in there by this time tomorrow. Today, I have another treat for you! In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Dylan Seeley to explore how neurology can enhance athletic performance. We dive deep into working with MMA fighters, focusing on how the brain influences movement, reaction time, and overall performance. Dr. Seeley shares insights into visual and vestibular training, explaining why peripheral vision, balance, and coordination are critical for elite athletes. We also tackle the impact of microdosing, discussing its potential effects on cognitive function and brain optimization. From there, we break down HRV and autonomic nervous system testing, looking at how stress, recovery, and nervous system regulation can make or break performance. Dr. Seeley also provides valuable knowledge on concussions, explaining how they affect an athlete’s cognitive and visual systems and what can be done to improve recovery.
