#67: UFC Sports Chiropractor Dr. Tera Giroux on Recovering and Competing like a Professional Athlete

Whether you're a UFC fan or not, this is a fascinating conversation with Dr. Tera Giroux (@drtera), who is the sports chiropractor at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas. She has been helping people come back from (and prevent!) injuries for many years, and has a wealth of knowledge around recovery, taking care of your body and competing at the highest level.

In this conversation we discuss:

• How Tera got into working with the UFC
• What it’s like for a UFC fighter when they first get started 
• How she builds trust with her clients and how you can build trust with your healthcare provider
• Mental health and body dysmorphia in professional sports
• Things you can do to mitigate risk for injury
• How to know what recovery tools are helpful and which are just junk
• and more!
