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.Sponsors:Tecton Life Ketone drink! https://tectonlife.com/ DRMIKE to save 20%LMNT electrolyte drink mix: miketnelsonlmnt.comDr. Mike's Fitness Insider Newsletter: Sign up for free at https://miketnelson.com/.Flex 4: Check out Dr. Seeley's top 4 tips for someone who has the basics but wants to take their training to the next level: https://miketnelson.com/flex4/Triphasic 2 book now available!Go to https://triphasic2.com/Episode Chapters:04:54 Diving into Visual Training09:05 The Importance of Visual and Vestibular Systems in Sports13:28 Training Techniques and Athlete Insights33:41 Integrating Visual Training into Workouts40:58 Reinforcing Eye Strength with Drills41:18 Biometrics in Sports Performance42:20 Heart Rate and Decision-Making in Athletes45:16 Autonomic Testing for Athletes53:19 Visual Field Testing Techniques01:00:54 Advanced Visual and Autonomic Testing01:05:20 The Art of Coaching and Rehabilitation01:10:03 Pushing Limits in Athlete Training01:12:50 Contact Information and Closing Remarks Flex Diet Podcast Episodes You May Enjoy: Episode 199: The Neurology of Movement, Exercise and Training – An Interview Coach Dan Fichter of WannaGetFast Episode 241: A New Perspective on Brain Health with Dr. Shaun KornfeldConnect with Dr Seeley: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dylan_seeleydc/Website: https://www.inferno-pr.com/Get In Touch with Dr Mike:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmiketnelson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn1aTbQqHglfNrENPm0GTpgEmail: https://miketnelson.com/contact-us/ Get the Daily Fitness Insider newsletter (free): https://www.miketnelson.com/newsletter
