Can you become successful in fitness by following the standard fitness recommendations of the last 75 years? Biomedical engineer, Dr. John Jaquish doesn't think so and demonstrates the reasons why standard fitness does not work for almost 99% of the population. He explains how making some major changes in how we load the body can provide us the same or similar opportunity for the level of physical growth that most professional athletes enjoy. John Jaquish, PhD. has spent years researching and developing improved approaches to health. He is the inventor of the most effective bone density building medical technology which is now partnered with Tony Robbins and OsteoStrong for rapid clinic deployment. Inventor of X3, a technology that is proven to develop muscle much faster than conventional weight lifting, all with the lowest risk of joint injury, Dr. Jaquish methods are used in training the world's most elite athletes and associations such as the entire Miami Heat organization, various NFL and NBA players, as well as Olympians. Dr. Jaquish’s book explaining his non-conventional approach to human physiology is a WSJ best seller. John is also CEO of Primal Medical Group, a physician group with over 100 general practitioners who understand and require patient application of both Dr. Jaquish’s physical medicine interventions, like X3 and OsteoStrong, as well as the optimized nutrition protocols outlined in his book.
