Mastermind 12: Three Levels of Access

Mastermind 12 is packed full of value, but we understand that some may want access to more foundational or specific information from the event. For the first time, we are now allowing you to purchase recordings from only the first session or the first day. Session 1 is front-loaded with a foundational look at the relationship between exercise performance and cellular health, setting the stage for all that’s included in Day 1 and Digital On-Demand. Day 1 builds on this foundation with deeper-dives into targeting cellular redox for improving exercise performance by integrating peptides & other small molecule therapies into a patient’s exercise regimen or plan-of-care. The full Digital On-Demand package goes on to cover the full range of exercise’s relationship with healthspan, including metabolism & insulin sensitivity, metabolic health, nervous & immune system function, nutrition & the microbiome, cancer, and so much more.
