Listen Later

Most people think the purpose of hiring a personal trainer is to lose weight and to get stronger, but on today’s episode, we talk to Dr. Darian Parker about how training is much more than just exercise. It is an exploration into learning more about how your mind and body can work together to produce a variety of results.

Dr. Parker received his Ph.D in Sports Education Leadership with an emphasis in Behavior Modification from UNLV and has been in the fitness and wellness business for 20 years. Currently, Dr. Parker is the co-owner of Epic Leisure Management LLC., the owner of Parker Personal Training LLC., and the co-founder of a podcast host and guest connector platform, F.EM. Dr. Parker is also a featured writer and presenter for national fitness organizations.

He is the host/creator of Dr. D's Social Network, a podcast devoted to genuine, open and honest conversations with people from all over the world. We definitely recommend you give his show a listen–especially the episode that Melissa and Kathlyn were guests on!
