The Ultimate Educated Meathead
- 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.
- 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. He plans to update that in 2025 with the full launch of his upcoming online platform.
- 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 chiropracto, but also as an online coach and educator.
- Dr. Marv is the co-founder and full time performance chiropractor at 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 coaching clients, this website is a way for him to help folks reach their fitness goals with proper programming and execution of movements in combination with hard training.
