BOOST Mitochondrial Function and EXPAND ...

BEN PAKULSKI
About this episode

Are you ready to radically deconstruct the upper limits, and rewire your perception of what's possible?

I reached out to Ian after discovering his revolutionary approach to mitochondrial optimization – a subject that is paramount to longevity, performance and achievement.  Ian and I cover everything from how to optimize the body's production of ATP... to the possibility of healing the central nervous system... to space travel... to the infinite links between quantum biology, meditation, and creativity.

Ian Mitchell is an inventor, biochemist, and pharmaceutical developer who specializes in anti-aging technology and peak performance. Ian works with NASA astronauts, Olympic athletes, and other top-tier performers who want to experience superhuman gains.

You’ll learn:

  • How to regain lost cognitive function.
  • Tools to reverse oxidative stress.
  • ONE thing that offers a huge leap in performance.
  • What it takes to optimize your creative process.
  • KEY takeaways for the health and longevity of our species.

If I have to convince you to prioritize your health, Muscle Intelligence coaching isn’t for you…. If I have to convince you that the best investment you can make is in yourself…. That being fit is not a temporary decision, but a commitment…. That it’s not about MORE or what you do, it’s about BETTER and how you do it...  Or that your physical health impacts all areas of your life, keep scrolling.

I’m not in the business of convincing anyone.  I’m in the business of transformation.

The individuals who come to us are already high-performers.  They’re committed. Ready.

Don’t get me wrong - These guys come with challenges too. They typically have limited time to train, injuries, no gym access, busy families, no customized plans, no specific training knowledge, no coach and an inner fear that it’s going to be too hard.

But here’s the tough love you need to hear:  The only difference between these guys and YOU… is that they took action. They stepped in the ring anyway.

I’m looking for a few more men who want to transform in 2022. If you’re serious and you’re committed, I’d love to see if you’re a right fit for a program I’m starting in 2022.  Apply now at muscleintelligence.com/apply
