The Ultimate Educated Meathead
- Dr. Christopher (MARV) Marvin DC has been involved in health, wellness and fitness for over 18 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.
- In addition to his exercise expertise, Dr. Marv has spent over a decade learning about evidence-based nutrition and supplementation strategies for both the general population and the elite athlete, culminating into writing a book on nutrition in 2017.
- 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 18 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.
- Dr. Marv is the owner of Coastal Performance Chiropractic in Seabrook, TX. He also currently offers telemedicine video calls and nutrition coaching through the office for all TX residents.
- While he unfortunately is too busy to take on new online 1-on-1 coaching clients, this website is a way for him to help folks reach their fitness, health, and performance goals at a fraction of the cost of his rate.
- In his little free time he is the co-host of the advanced lifting podcast Between Two Dumbbells, obviously loves the gym, and going to the beach with his lovely partner.

Online Courses
Dr. Marv released his first ever course in 2025 - Bodybuilding Anatomy & Meathead Biomechanics 101.
Dr. Marv is currently working on his next course Squats 101 from his last paid seminar that included a live Q&A with the then ATWR squat holder as well as a 2200+ RAW total powerlifter that should be published within a few weeks.
Recorded Seminars
Previous seminars that were recorded are available for purchase - starting with Dr. Marv's Lower Body Lifting Seminar recording and what is essentially his life's work with his Performance Pyramid Hierarchy seminar recording and slides (which will be turned into a future course). More recordings coming soon!
Training Programs on the True Coach App
Easy to follow programming on True Coach training app with video tutorials for every single movement prescribed so you know exactly what he is looking for in terms of execution. Each program includes sample warmup/mobility routines, so you are going into the workout in the most advantageous way possible – something you know that Dr. Marv focuses on in office and online.
These are for beginners to advanced; aesthetics/physique based and athletic/performance based, including the S&C program he ran a local college's baseball team through last season which saw them more than doubling their wins while dramatically reducing injury rates.
CUSTOM Workout Routines
Basically due to popular demand, Dr. Marv is now offering stand alone, CUSTOM workout routines designed specifically for you. These are very detail oriented and designed to be ran for multiple training blocks to achieve almost any goal you desire.
Video Consultations
One hour long video consultations can be on ALMOST any topic you desire. Popular options are movement assessments, bloodwork analysis, training & nutrition audits, OTC supplementation, and longevity/healthspan intervention.
