In this conversation we discuss:
- How Tera got into working with the UFC
- What it’s like for a UFC fighter when they first get started
- How she builds trust with her clients and how you can build trust with your healthcare provider
- Mental health and body dysmorphia in professional sports
- Things you can do to mitigate risk for injury

- and more!
