What does the future of strength and conditioning look like?
Are we still talking in generalities about set, reps and rest periods?
OR are we digging deeper into how each individual’s make-up determines how they should be training and recovering?
Well without giving it away – I definitely think hyper specialization is on the horizon, and that’s why I’m so excited to have Dr. Jeremy Koenig on the show today.
Dr. Koenig is a leader in integrating genomic insights into healthcare, emphasizing ecosystem development for integral business growth.
While he started in the world of high performance, helping Olympians make better training decisions based on their genetic code, Dr. Koenig is now deeply committed to personally coaching visionary entrepreneurs who aspire to create a better future.
The high performers I’m working with have vision…and getting to that vision is critical, because that’s what gets you through hell. – Dr. Jeremy Koenig
This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:
A brief bio and how Dr. Koenig got started in the world of physical prep.
The difference between GENETICS and EPIGENETICS.
How he helped pioneer the concept of “DNA as a Service” and got started with Athletigen?
The ways we could potentially use athletes genetic code to help more detailed, specific and customized programs.
Dr. Koenig’s thoughts on integrating AI into the process to optimize both health and performance.
The similarities between elite athletes and “high performers” in the workspace, and why he’s shifted his coaching emphasis from the former to the latter.
His thoughts on how we can do a better job of merging higher performance with long-term health and longevity.
The BIG Question.
A really fun lightning round where we talk about how Dr. Koenig’s daughter has impacted him, the new podcast he’s starting, and how he became known as “The DNA Guy.”
