Dr. Beard spoke at TEDx Birmingham 2019 on the topic of ‘Environmental Reflection’, where he drew connections between the most daunting issues facing human and environmental health, and how we may go about remedying both by focusing on ourselves.
Dr. Beard is the author of the ‘The Age of Movement’ which is a look at movement throughout the entirety of the biological record, a guide for humans on what optimal movement at any age looks like, and how we can tackle most health issues with a focus on fundamentals.
In clinical practice, Dr. Beard brings thousands of hours of continuing education across a plethora of techniques to each and every case. This allows him to provide an all-encompassing and world-class clinical experience to each and every patient.
