Depending on whom you ask, you’ll get a different definition of biohacking. Whether it’s altering neurons to optimize the brain, getting stem cell theory to relieve chronic pain, or making homemade kombucha for gut health, to biohack is an act of manipulating your body’s systems for optimum health.

John tapped into the power of high-impact training, and ever since he’s been helping others around the country use natural adaptation of the body…
