Dr Morris

Dr. Chuck Morris of Fulcum Performance joins the show as a special guest to talk about his mission to evolve health and human performance for all. His mission is to bridge the gap between the boardroom and the locker room. While evolving the term human performance to include the game of life.

Dr. Morris had an experience running track and playing football as a sophomore in high school. He competed, but he did not love either sport and focused on his education. An opportunity presented itself at Lock Haven University in Pennsylvania, the plan was to manage in computer programming and go to NASA.

As often times happen, plans changed, and he joined the Army instead against his mother's wishes. A knee injury became the spark that lit the fuse for an interest in the medical community, health, wellness, and the science behind sports. Dr Chuck studied medicine around the world to see how other countries did things. He changed his nutrition, diet, workouts and philosophy. He never had knee surgery and he is still as athletic as ever.

In 1996, Dr Chuck opened his sports academy where he worked with any athlete who wanted to participate. This is where he formulated a system of training groups of 5 kids. They would all do the same drill, but he would incorporate differences, nuances during the drill that were specific to certain sports. Dr Chuck has seen thousands of athletes play in college, from division 1 to division 3, and he formed networks with coaches, strength trainers which can help kids be evaluated, along with have an opportunity to play at the next level.

Fulcrum Performance and Midtown Biohack was established in 2018. Originally, there were 9 locations and COVID shut several down. Dr. Chuck is positive and believes this ended up being beneficial because he spent more time with his team coaching and teaching them his system. Midtown Biohack is aptly named because the offices are in Midtown Manhattan. Anyone from athletes, CEOs, people who want a better quality of life can be clients. Mental health, emotions, feelings are evaluated, and Fulcrum works with a team of therapists to make sure everyone is at their best to make progress.

Nutrition, diet are tremendous components, but Grey Matter Performance is the game changer which will be famous for being the foundational system. Dr. Chuck developed Grey Matter over 23 years of experience in the field and understands how powerful it will be. In layman's terms, because I am not overly intelligent, they evaluate brain activity. What athletic movement you want to do or see yourself doing in your head and how it translates to your body actually generating that movement. Evaluating your cognitive ability to think and then how your body reacts.

It was an absolute pleasure and delight interviewing Dr. Chuck Morris. Most people who know Steve Cully know that I don't get nervous and can talk to anyone. I was intimidated before interviewing Dr. Chuck Morris, which went away quickly because there is not a nicer, more positive, talented, amazing person who legitimately cares about his clients and loves watching them succeed.
