He's dealt with injuries since wrestling at age 8, used stem cells early in his career to avoid surgery, and won back the world title after treatment.

If you want to be a champion, you can't leave no stone unturned. You got to have all energy systems trained to the best ability. Chasing peak performance and longevity go hand in hand. And if you treat the body the way that it was intended to be treated, your performance is so much better.
Well, you suffered through a lot of injuries during your career. I mean I know that you fought with two blown out shoulders.
Yeah, I mean just wear and tear from wrestling since I was 8 year old, through college and then more so as being a professional.
You were doing stem cells early on in your career to try to preserve as much of that time as you had.
I do all my research trying to figure out like wait, what are like Kobe Bryant's of doing in the world to preserve themselves or whatever it may be to keep me in the game without having to get surgery.
So you get the stem cells, you come back, you win another championship.
Yeah, I win the world title back.
Wow. Now that you're more woke to longevity and wellness, what made you say this is the next career path? For me?
Something I've noticed from just training in my experience is that.
