    Jul 17 2024
    Is a decentralized revolution occurring in El Salvador? That's exactly what today's guest, Dr. Jack Kruse, who currently lives and practices medicine in El Salvador and has served as an advisor to Nayib Bukele, joins me to discuss. Dr. Jack Kruse, a neurosurgeon, had an awakening in 2007 when he suffered a torn meniscus in his knee at 6’2”, 357 lbs. This led to his further study of physics, light, magnetism, and electricity, ultimately concluding that modern medicine lacked a deep understanding of how humans function in relation to the natural world. He is the CEO of Kruse Longevity Center in the US and El Salvador, a health and wellness company dedicated to helping patients avoid the healthcare burdens they typically encounter as they age. He is also the author of “Epi-Paleo Rx: The Prescription for Disease Reversal and Optimal Health.” TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH DR. JACK KRUSE

    • Hear me on the edge of my seat as Jack guides me through the dark history connecting the mob, Las Vegas casinos and our modern-day screen addictions.
    • Learn why COVID convinced everybody that Dr. Kruse wasn’t crazy, even though he was saying the same things he had been saying for fifteen years.
    • Was moving to Panama inadvertently the healthiest decision I’ve made for my family? Dr. Kruse explains why its location provides a massive health upgrade to those moving climates further from the equator.
