What does it take to redefine the limits of human performance? Today’s guest, Dr. Jo Brown, is no stranger to that challenge. Renowned as a "human performance engineer," Dr. Jo (as she’s known globally) has transformed the careers of some of the world’s most elite athletes and executives.

From working with Olympic gold medalists and NBA superstars to guiding Paralympic champions and trailblazing as the first female physiotherapist in men’s Grand Slam tennis, Dr. Jo’s career spans 19 sports and seven countries.

Her whole-human approach combines cutting-edge biomechanics, strength and conditioning, and sports science to identify gaps in performance and push the boundaries of what’s possible. Whether she’s bringing athletes back from career-threatening injuries or helping them achieve historic victories, Dr. Jo’s results speak for themselves.

In this episode, we explore her groundbreaking techniques, the mindset of champions, and what we can all learn about resilience, recovery, and unlocking our potential. We also talk about her brand new book about to hit the shelves and it’s a game-changer. If you’re ready to be inspired by stories of perseverance and peak performance, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
