What is The IQ Method?
Joey Emont - Founder The IQ Method
22+ years coaching - 30,000+ sessions delivered, Flow-5 Clinical framework
“We mapped every phase. I went on to win every class and overall—two tiaras, a sword, and medals—qualified for nationals, and later stepped on the Olympia stage.”
— Kate, IFBB Pro physique athlete
“I’m a trainer—standards are brutal. We periodized everything to the day. I showed up photo-ready and truly peeled on schedule, no guesswork.”
— Elliott, coach & photoshoot client
“In five months I rebuilt my body and confidence and stepped on stage for the first time. Clear programming and the Flow-5 approach changed everything.”
— Rachal, first-time competitor
How it works
Nutrition
We phase calories/macros to match training, not fight it. Guardrails and clarity make compliance easy.
Strength
Phase-based blocks (hypertrophy → strength → metabolic) matched to your recovery. Tempos, rest, and execution make every rep count while joints stay happy.
Movement Resets
Flow IQ cleans up compensation and restores stability. Weekly homework compounds results.
Labs + Peptides
Optional, through our performance, clinician partners. You maximize efficiency, get interpretation calls and actionable health marker feedback.

Problem
Diet hopping, Stalled metabolism, Nagging pain, confusing labs
Plan
Assess
Flow-5 framework serves as a window into your biggest metabolic bottlenecks.
Flow IQ Therapy addresses movement dysfunction at its root, allowing you to maintain momentum.
Rebuild
Detailed training and nutrition programs keep you on track, never having to guess what the next move is. Detailed lifestyle and protocols, optimize function so healthy habits become easier over time, not harder.
Recalibrate
Weekly tweaks and checkins, ensure the program doesn’t get stale. We use hard metrics to recalibrate on a regular basis. Lab evaluations, DEXA, 14 site skinfold calipers, girth measurements, objective and subjective recovery markers, guide the way.
Proof
Over 30,000+ sessions delivered with data driven body composition changes, powerful performance gains and transformed health markers confirmed by labs
Flow-5 Methodology
At a glance
-
Your gut is the gateway to recovery, hormone balance, and steady energy. We restore digestion, absorption, motility, and barrier integrity so bloat, reflux, and food reactivity calm down and nutrients actually land. When indicated, we coordinate clinician-led testing and targeted protocols to keep it evidence-driven.
-
Chronic, low-grade inflammation blocks fat loss, recovery, and sleep. We focus on immune tolerance—calming histamine/mast-cell overactivity and resolving triggers—so your body can adapt instead of overreact. When needed, clinician partners help assess and guide safe, targeted interventions.
-
This is how your cells make and use energy. We improve insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial efficiency, and metabolic flexibility so you burn fat predictably without sacrificing strength. Training, nutrition, and (when appropriate) clinician-supported labs provide objective feedback and faster course-corrections.
-
Hormones set the tempo for body composition, mood, and performance. We support thyroid, sex hormones, and adrenal rhythms with phase-matched training, nutrition, sleep, and stress work—and loop in clinician partners when therapy or deeper evaluation makes sense. The goal is stable signals, not roller-coasters.
-
Your nervous system is the master regulator. We train the sympathetic/parasympathetic balance so you can push hard and still recover—better sleep, higher HRV, calmer focus. Breathing, pacing, Zone 2, and micro-recovery habits make progress feel sustainable.
Why most plans stall
(and how we fix it)
Why it works
Because order beats effort. When Flow-5 is aligned with training and nutrition, the body adapts instead of resisting.
Add clinician-guided data when needed, and you stop guessing.
That’s how we’ve delivered 30,000+ sessions since 2003—with plans that hold up in real life.
Most people try to fix their body by doing more—more cardio, more restriction, more random intensity. It works for a few weeks, then the wheels come off: energy tanks, joints ache, sleep slips, cravings creep. The problem isn’t you. It’s order. If one system is misfiring—gut, immune, metabolic machinery, hormones, or your nervous system—your plan fights your biology instead of compounding it.
The Flow-5 Method
We start by finding your bottleneck across five keys: Gut, Immune System, Metabolic Machinery, Endocrine Function, and Autonomic Balance.
Then we build your plan around it—so food is actually absorbed, inflammation is quiet, your cells make energy on demand, hormones keep a steady rhythm, and your nervous system can push and recover.
What your plan includes
Strength with intent: Tension-based programming (tempos, rest, RPE, execution cues). No junk volume; everything progresses.
Nutrition that matches training: Clear guardrails for each phase (cut, recomp, build) so you’re never white-knuckling or guessing portions.
Movement integrity: FLOW IQ—our 40-motion manual therapy + homework—to clean up compensation so strength “sticks.”
Clinician-supported labs & peptides (when indicated): We coordinate with licensed clinicians for testing and targeted protocols. You get interpretation consults and safety education. No bro-science, no blind supplement stacks.
How the first 4 weeks feel
Week 1–2: Assessments, movement clean-up, protein targets, steps, sleep anchors. You’ll feel fewer fluctuations and better execution in the gym.
Week 3–4: Training loads climb, digestion calms, energy steadies. If labs are in scope, we align actions to the data—not vibes.
Who this is for:
High-intent people who want clinical-grade coaching and will do the work: 3–5 training days/week, protein targets, steps, sleep, honest check-ins. Founders and professionals, on-camera talent, competitors, and athletes returning from setbacks. If you want a shortcut or an insurance-billed clinic, this isn’t it.
What you can expect
Predictable fat loss without sacrificing strength.
Better sleep, steadier mood, and joints that cooperate.
Numbers that move: DEXA/Skin-folds (if local), lifts, HRV, labs when used.
A metabolism and training plan you can run again, not a one-off sprint.
