About this listen

The FARM Cast is a long-form conversation series that explores health, movement, and resilience through the lens of Applied Human Ecology — a field-based approach that views the human body as a complex organism shaped by its environment, load, and relationships. Each episode documents conversations with clinicians, conservationists, researchers, and practitioners whose work reveals how organisms remain capable over time — and why modern environments so often undermine that capacity.Dr. Beau Beard Hygiene & Healthy Living Physical Illness & Disease

  • Dr. Richard Ulm, DC - DNS and Neurology Behind Movement Quality
    Dec 15 2025

    What actually makes DNS so powerful—and why does it matter for athletes, clinicians, and strength coaches?
    In this deep-dive conversation, Dr. Beau Beard sits down with Dr. Richard Ulm, lead architect of the DNS Strength Training curriculum, to unpack the evolution of DNS, how neurology drives movement, why quality stabilization changes everything, and why strength coaches desperately need a more precise model of human function.

    From the origins of DNS Strength Training 1–3, to biomechanics vs. neurology, to the real-world decisions clinicians make when technique and performance collide, this episode is a masterclass in understanding movement at the highest level. If you've ever wondered why DNS “works,” how to apply it in sport, or why athletes break down even when they’re strong, this conversation will change how you think forever.


    • The true foundations of DNS—and why it has nothing to do with “baby exercises.”• Why functional centration is the neurological key to power, resilience, and longevity• How DNS Strength Training differs from clinical DNS (and why both matter)• When biomechanics, neurology, and performance goals collide—and how to make the right call• Why load management alone is NOT enough• How clinicians and coaches can recognize red/yellow/orange/green lights in real time• Why DNS enhances every other tool: manual therapy, dry needling, McKenzie, FRC, and more
