About Dr. David Hopper

Resilience Isn’t Built in the Gym—It’s Recovered in the Nervous System.

If you’re a high achiever—founder, executive, elite athlete—you already know how to push.
You don’t need another coach telling you to “try harder.”
What you need is someone who knows when to pull back, how to recalibrate your system, and how to hardwire resilience so you can perform at your highest level, day after day.

That’s what I do.

🧠 The Doctor Behind the Data

I’m Dr. David Hopper—a chiropractor, orofacial myofunctional therapist, university professor, and long-time performance health specialist.
My whole life, I’ve lived and breathed human optimization, from elite combat sports to clinical recovery to HRV-based nervous system mastery.

I work with high-performing individuals who want to sleep better, breathe better, recover faster, and lead stronger—without adding more noise or strain to their already full lives.

🔬 A Career Rooted in Performance

Health has always been part of my story. With a marathoner mom (over 80 down, including at least one in all 50 states and still going!) and a bodybuilding dad, movement, nutrition, and discipline weren’t optional—they were the family culture. I became a certified personal trainer at 16, launched my first fitness invention at 20, and spent years as a professional fighter before turning to clinical performance.

Since then, I’ve:

• Practiced full-spectrum chiropractic care and orofacial myofunctional therapy

• Invented multiple spinal mobility and posture correction tools used by top practitioners

• Become part-owner of an HRV company developing wearable devices and recovery software

• Published books and taught thousands of doctoral students as a professor at the National University of Health Sciences

• Delivered talks nationwide on HRV, nervous system recovery, and high-performance health strategies

• Coached clinicians, C-suite leaders, and top-level athletes in mastering their internal recovery systems

 

📈 Who I Work With

I work with a select group of clients—founders, professionals, athletes—who are ready to stop pushing through burnout and start operating from a place of regulated energy, optimized sleep, and focused recovery.

If you want to:

• Stop snoring, get off a CPAP machine and finally sleep deeply

• Understand and leverage your HRV for decision-making and resilience

• Perform at your best in high-stakes environments

• Learn breathing, posture, and recovery tools that actually work
  ...then we might be a fit.

 

🎯 The Mission

I’m not here to “motivate” you.
I’m here to show you how to regulate, recover, and thrive—so you can keep leading and living at the top of your game.
