How Griffin Moore approaches health in real life
A look at how Griffin balances strength work, conditioning, recovery, and real-world nutrition habits.
01
On a good week, what is your health activity strategy?
I normally train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 3 times a week, do some type of Zone 2 work 3 times a week, and strength train 3 times a week.
Since having our second child, I have not been able to train BJJ due to our schedule, so I have gotten into running. I will run 6 times a week (3 Zone 2 sessions and 3 higher-intensity sessions) and strength train 3 times.
02
On a good week, what do you eat?
We eat a ton of venison—both steaks and hamburger. I am a big hunter, so we often only eat venison as our red meat source throughout the year.
I am also an avid gardener, so late in the spring through the fall most of our vegetables will come from our backyard.
Otherwise, we eat lots of chicken and sweet potatoes.
03
Are you a good sleeper? What helps you get good sleep?
Luckily I have never had a problem sleeping. I am one who could sleep through a tornado.
That said, I have noticed huge improvements in my sleep scores by regularly doing sauna before bed and blocking blue light 2 hours before bed.
04
What health or nutrition apps do you use?
I use Garmin and Morpheus to track my training. I don’t use a nutrition app currently.
05
What health devices do you use?
I use both Garmin and Morpheus to track my training, resting heart rate, and HRV. I also have a Garmin blood pressure cuff to track my BP.
Griffin moved to Nashville in 2011 to attend Lipscomb University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science with a minor in Biology while playing on the Lipscomb’s baseball team for four years.
During his time at Lipscomb, he developed a passion for strength and conditioning, which inspired him to pursue a career in physiotherapy. He went on to earn his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Belmont University in 2018.
Griffin has since advanced his expertise with post-doctorate education in various treatment techniques, including dry needling, manual therapy, and fascial manipulation.
Griffin was recruited to be part of Paradigm’s founding team due to his reputation as Nashville’s elite Physical Therapist. His professional experience includes directing rehabilitation and training programs for athletes in the MLB, NFL, NBA, UFC, and NCAA.
Griffin leads Paradigm Performance, a rehab / prehab-oriented center to optimize physical movement to improve sport performance and prevent the need for surgery.
Griffin believes that every person is an athlete, meant to move and thrive. He enjoys helping people discover a training style that suits their body and lifestyle.
His ultimate passion is to help people of all ages become stronger and increase their fitness level so that they can move better and enjoy their favorite activities well into their golden years.
