With over 15 years of experience working with the advanced and elite in the fitness industry, Dr. Jena Gatses has a lot of great information to share from all of her background experiences and education as athlete, model, physical therapist, strength coach, manual therapist, corrective exercise specialist.

In this episode, she specifically dives into her education in everything from having a Ph.D. in physical therapy to studying Buddhism, working with NASCAR as a Head Physical Therapist & Strength Coach, training at Churchill Boxing Club, and launching her own brand, Scientific Fitness.

 

As you tune into the episode, we discuss:

  • Her passion for helping people and the importance of being kind to others.
  • What kind of training she did as the top trainer for several NASCAR teams for the drivers and pit crew team.
  • The launch of her brand, Scientific Fitness, and the mission behind it.
  • Not giving in to the ego and allowing it to hold you back from growing.
  • Getting yourself out of your own self-sabotaging box, being vulnerable, and facing your struggles.
  • Building a healthy lifestyle through small changes every day to keep your mind and body healthy.
  • Her personal fitness focus on quality and mixing things up for better variety from time to time
  • How she approaches good nutrition by not stressing too much about what she eats and staying consistent with the quality of her food.

At the beginning of the show, Devon and I also discuss the Official Coffee Diet, the many benefits of caffeine especially from high-quality coffee, and how to select the best decaf coffee.
