Training
We believe training should always serve a purpose and be specific to the individual and we offer fully customized online and in-person programming.
Education
We have written over 500 articles and offer a variety of seminars on Athlete Evaluation and Management, Performance, Nutrition, Life Optimization, and more.
Life Evolved
We believe that the human experience goes far beyond the gym and that to truly drive performance and health one must look critically at all aspects of life - diet, stress management, exercise, and restoration.
We believe Health and Performance go hand in hand.
Our Work Flow
Evaluate
The first thing we do with our athletes is establish a baseline. Using the Omegawave and PRI we can start to build a map of your body.
Train & Assess
After establishing a baseline, we then create individualized training to you and your specific objectives.
Adapt & Evolve
Now that we have data on how you react to specific training and a map of your physiology we can facilitate precise adaptations using a variety of proven methods.
TAE is proud to offer OmegaWave Monitoring. We are looking for how your body adapts and focusing on the Central Nervous, Cardiac, Metabolic, and Hormonal Systems. After analyzing this data, we are able to pivot, adjust, and validate that our course is optimal. Testing is available in variable intervals i.e. daily, weekly, bi-monthly etc.

Male Hormones - Talk Nerdy To Me - Vol. 1
This is the start of the Talk Nerdy To Me series. These talks will be about 20 minutes in duration. The goal is to simplify complex and/or tabooed subjects. We will release one a month by myself or one of our many esteemed colleagues throughout the country. Without further adieu… And below are the individual images and a video with the animations of the slides for this presentation. http://trainadaptevolve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Male-Hormone-Synthesis.mp4... read moreAn Outside Perspective - MMA
When we first started Train Adapt Evolve we did everything for free. It was a stellar business model. We started by giving out Omegawave mobile monitors to friends or athletes curious about the technology for free. I will admit, this was also for selfish reasons. I wanted to collect data, watch, and learn. This has now evolved into us putting athletes on our mobile platform and consulting with coaches and/or athletes. Recently we had an opportunity to consult with a UFC fighter and his coach preparing for an upcoming fight. The daily Omegawave results were not uncommon from what we have seen in the past which include former UFC champions. Chaos. As both Ben and I learn more from coaches or nutritionists in the MMA scene, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: It is chaos. The 1% of the 1% I often hear S&C coaches talking about making their fighters tougher. This blows my mind! If you are a MMA Fighter - you are tough. If you fight for the UFC you are the 1% of the 1% of the toughest dudes on the planet. Congrats. I hope that is nothing knew to you. So why in the hell do you think battle ropes and MB slams are going to make you tougher? Maybe I should ask the S&C coach that question. Why is making the athlete tougher the objective? If this was the case, we could go down to the local box gym, pick out a few guys who are burpee’n their faces off at the moment and throw them in the cage. That toughness won’t last long.

Functional Medicine, The Weight Room, and Scope of Practice
Back to writing. As I was walking out of the first day of the Optimizing Athleticism Seminar, Dr. Culleton asked me, “That was phenomenal, what do you think the audience took from that?” I had been contemplating the same thought as the day progressed. The audience was primarily strength coaches and physical therapists and Dr. Rakowski who headlined the first day was not playing coy with big words and systems biology. I responded to Dr. Culleton,”Probably not that much right now, but they now know what they don’t know, and this group of people will run with that somewhere special.” This conversation has floated in and out of my mind over the past week and it becomes a question of scope of practice and ultimately responsibility to the client to do the right thing. Davis and I have posted on this topic many times. We both believe that a Strength Coach’s knowledge base must be vast, but not necessarily overly specific until they find their passion/niche. They have to be able move seamlessly and talk intelligently with many other professions. I will give two examples of how I feel the strength coach or personal trainer is either the gateway to health or the hammer of dysfunction. Many of us have seen and/or signed the waiver forms that say: You must see a health care professional before starting this or that exercise program. And how many clients actually do that? Thought so. But this is because the average Joe primary care physician isn’t going to tell anyone anything unless they have some set of obvious symptoms that fit into the... read moreThe Economics Of Doing Stuff Good
Supplements, groceries, gym memberships, programming, blue blocking sun glasses, comprehensive lab work, unfortunately it all costs money. This post is about breaking down the cost of attempting to be awesome. Health in our current climate takes effort and is expensive, but the alternative is likely much more expensive. I mean how much does a heart attack cost? ummm 10 grand at a minimum, throw in some kind of higher end surgery and it’s pushing 50k. Lifetime cost of a stroke $100,000 dollars and perhaps not being able to move one side of your face. Cancer somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 to 120k, depending on the type and where you live. Diabetes a cool $13,700 per year. Now you might say well I don’t have to pay all of those medical costs, to which I would answer, someone does. Like it or not the US of A is one big Team. If all the tubbie Marthas decide to go and get diabetes, have a heart attack, survive, and then get put on dialysis it will be a huge financial burden on the rest of us. So tubbie Marthas get your shit together and start front loading your costs so we can all relax. Now you might not care at all about Martha and only care about lifting weights more better and running more faster, this is fine, whatever drives you to do the right thing for the rest of us. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that this and how I feel/look is what ultimately drives me more than anything. Figuring out your why is important, and for... read moreDismantled Biological Rhythms Require Individualization Not Population Wide Generalizations
I have read a lot of posts lately that give broad recommendations based on circadian rhythms or the idea that certain hormones or biological systems are high or low at different times of the day. Don’t drink coffee at this time, but drink coffee at this time, work out at this time, eat carbs at this time, and on down the line. This may be a great way to get clicks, but these generalizations are likely ineffective for any one individual, and perhaps even dangerous. Many people know about cortisol which peaks in the morning to wake us and then dwindles as the day progresses. Melatonin on the other hand wanes in the morning and creeps back up to its peak in the evening allowing us to go to sleep. Both ideally and theoretically. Melatonin and cortisol are not the only peaks and valleys in the system but without getting them back in step you won’t be able to correct other hormonal imbalances. Every hormone in the body is pulsatile and the brain is constantly collecting data and adapting to whatever situation we give it. Dr. Gottfried puts cortisol dysregulation at 92% of the population. We don’t live in a primal world. Some people never see the sun, let alone feel it on their skin. We can do anything we want whenever we want. We aren’t active throughout the day, but instead exercise in spurts. 90 cents of every dollar we spend on food is thrown away on processed garbage which dismantles our internal clocks through blood sugar spikes, insulin surges, and food sensitives/allergies. Most of our lives... read moreBig Gulps, Mortal Kombat, and The Brain
I don’t like the brain. It’s egotistical and bumpy and effing complicated with words like gyrus, mesensephalon, and pontomedullary reticular formation that make you want to curl up in the fetal position with a Snuggy. I have tried as hard as I can to stay away from this amazing structure even though my lab group performs functional brain scans on a weekly basis. Also, my colleague Grace Shearrer is an absolute brain genius and can rattle off neuroanatomy and how these different areas of the brain influence physiology and vice versa. It’s awesome and I love listening to her lectures, but a good portion of my time at UT with her being so amazing allowed me to say, “Grace will handle it.” Yet, over the last year I have had to come to terms with the fact that ultimately the brain controls everything and although we cannot fix the brain without fixing physiology, many times we cannot fix physiology without respecting and understanding brain chemistry, anatomy, and physiology. “You are your brain – the health of the brain dictates everything about you. The brain is one of the most susceptible and fragile organs to the imbalances caused by poor diets and chronic stress. ” Datis Kharrazian, DHSc, DC, MS, MNeuroSci, FAACP, DACBN, DABCN, DIBAK, CNS And we are not doing well at respecting or supporting our brain health One in eight senior citizens develop Alzheimer’s.
