Big Dawgs
What is a Big Dawg?
I'm not entirely sure where the name came from, but a name matters not. What does matter is what we, the Big Dawgs represent - a constant search for answers to higher levels of fitness and all that it pertains to. Big Dawgs have come and gone, they come in, learn, move on and are better for it; some have come and have never left - we help one another grow through removing the personal limitations; not strong enough, not enough stamina, not belonging to a community, no reason behind the prescription.
We have high level fitness enthusiasts who strive to be better at a lot of things, not just one. We have high level thinkers who understand the connection between the body and mind. We have respect for all ideas around fitness and truly allow an area for open mindedness. We welcome all; but be prepared for discomfort, mental and physical - this allows forward momentum.

Dr. Thom teaching in Level 2 Nutrition - OPT CCP
Dr. Jeoff Drobot and Dr. Dick Thom will be instructing a course on March 17/18 here in Scottsdale on Endocrinology.
As we are all well aware, over time sets and reps and the same nutrition prescription only goes so far unless lifestyle and some "understanding" of the human template is understood. A BIG piece I see as a misslng link in coaches is NOT having the answer to the endocrinology piece (as it is outside of your scope of practice) but the "lack of" understanding of pure endocrinology pieces.
This course has been designed for Health Professionals to give a better understanding of what associations tied to Endocrinology means (including blood, urine, saliva measures as well as sex hormone discussion - PMS, infertility and adrenal fatigue to name a big few)
Our idea on this is different.
We have teamed up with these guys to allow you a better prescription and to truly understand what you are working with and what underlies all things in some cases. NOT to give you anwers but to upgrade your knowledge on what might be.
