Key Takeaways

• Stem cell treatment for autoimmune diseases — Jack went to Germany and had stem cells injected into his lymphatic system. The clinics in Germany are called “Wellness Treatment” centers that are geared around treating the source of issues with a preventative approach. There has recently been a new type of stem cell called Twist 2, which is abundant on the body and has been shown to target fast-twitch muscle fibers.
• High force training is good for M.S. — It is important to implement forms of training that require high force for an individual with M.S. because of the types of muscle fiber it recruits. Agility drills are also ideal because they tax are neurologically taxing.
• Jack’s training — Kenny started off slow with Jack, with a lot of foundational work, but slowly picked up the speed and velocity. He is now outperforming very high athletes, even while battling M.S. He now views training as part of a daily meditation, whether it be in the gym, climbing or surfing.
• A sense of tribe was the key component that Jack believes enabled him to get sober — He joined a group of individuals of the same age with the same issues, and they all stuck together and did the same things. He recognized the effect after reading the book Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging.
