Hi there, and welcome to my newsletter.

My name’s Ryan, and I specialize in helping people be active and thrive in and out of the gym. This newsletter is about challenging the status quo of healthcare and fitness and summarizes what I’m learning, thinking, and teaching.

Thanks for reading and being a part of The Movement.

Here’s what we got this week.

Why I Created Restore: A Personal Story From 15 Years in Healthcare

I had a lightbulb moment after 15 years in healthcare.

Here's the deal: I've worked everywhere. Seattle. Boston. Hawaii. Fancy sports clinics. Post-op rehab centers. Home health. You name it.

And I kept seeing the same thing over and over.

Patients would drag themselves into the clinic totally wiped out. Stressed. Tight. Not ready for treatment at all.

Athletes who would be focused on PRE-workout supplements and POST-workout recovery and never understand why they weren’t seeing results.

Think about it – how's your body supposed to heal when you're running on 4 hours of sleep and your cortisol is through the roof? Why do you care so much about recovering AFTER a hard workout but never give a thought about what you’re doing beforehand?

Here's what most people don't get: The nervous system runs the show.

I'd see these athletes spending thousands on treatments, but they're still injured. Still not back to 100%. Traditional rehab is stuck in the 80s – same old exercises, same old machines, same disappointing results. Don’t believe me? Walk into the PT clinic closest to you and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

That's why I created Restore.

See, the body heals best when it's regulated – low cortisol, slow breathing, minimal inflammation. The sweet spot.

I started experimenting with my patients. Gave them pre-rehab routines. Specific supplements like Lion's Mane and Ashwagandha. Combined them with breathwork and mental imagery.

The results? Game-changing.

Faster progress. Better movement. Less pain.

Take Max Woodward. He was a remote client of mine for years as I helped him navigate some knee pain and injuries.

The guy played 11 pro rugby seasons WITHOUT AN ACL. Think about that for a second. A torn ACL can be a career ender for a lot of pro athletes but the dude decided he didn’t even need one. He went on to captain Hong Kong 7s for seven years and snagged gold medals at the Asian Games. Twice.

He’s since opened his own gym focused on mobility, mindful movement, strength and stability.

Or Jessica Salvaggio (formerly Lucero). We worked together at my private practice in Cleveland. 4x National Champion in Olympic weightlifting. American record holder. Pan American Bronze medalist.

These aren't just random athletes. They're partners who've lived this approach.

See, here's what nobody tells you about chronic pain and injury: Almost 50 million adults in the US are struggling with it. And that number keeps climbing.

Why? Because we're stuck in outdated thinking.

Everyone wants to focus on latest social media exercise trend, or “state-of-the-art” ultrasound machines when they’re missing the big picture.

Your body isn't just muscles and joints. It's a complex system that starts with your nervous system.

Restore isn’t just another supplement. It's a pre-rehab formula designed to prime your body for healing.

The best part? It's simple.

Take Restore 60 minutes before your rehab session, training, or mobility work.

Inside each capsule, you're getting a patent-pending formula that no other supplement has:

A powerful neuroplasticity blend of Lion's Mane and Alpha-GPC to support neural health and adaptation. Plus Ashwagandha to dial down that stress response that's messing with your pain levels.

For recovery? We've got HMB paired with Magnesium Glycinate. This combo is like a tune-up for your nervous system and movement efficiency.

And because healing starts from within, we've added targeted probiotics and B vitamins to support that crucial gut-brain connection and cellular repair.

Right now, you can pre-order Restore for just $49 (regular price: $59).

But here's the thing – this pre-order price won't last.

Whether you're:

• Fighting through an injury

• Looking to move better

• Just tired of feeling stiff and tight

Restore integrates seamlessly into what you're already doing.
