He's back!

Not only is one of my most popular guests of all time, Dr. Matt Cook back on today's show, but he is joined by the CEO of BioReset Medical, Barb Branaman, along with my wife Jessa Greenfield - both of whom put Matt and I in the hotseat with a host of questions inspired by Tim Ferriss's "Tools Of Titans"

 

 

 

 

 

Dr. Cook, MD is a regenerative medicine specialist and the president of BioReset Medical in Campbell, CA. He graduated from University of Washington School of Medicine in 1997 and completed his residency in anesthesiology at University of California San Francisco in 2001. He is a board-certified anesthesiologist with over 20 years of experience in medical practice.

 

 

 

Currently Dr. Cook is President of California Anesthesia and Medical Director of the National Surgery Center in Los Gatos, CA. (In addition, Dr. Cook sits on the scientific advisory board of several high profile medical companies including VMDOC, FREMedica & Vasper Systems.) Dr. Cook’s early career as an anesthesiologist and medical director of an outpatient surgery center that specializes in sports medicine and orthopedic procedures provided invaluable training in the skills that are needed to become a leader in the emerging fields of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound imaging and nerve hydrodissection.
