97. The Truth About Protein: Why Perfect Amino Changes Everything

Dr. David Minkoff is one of the most in-demand speakers in the field and wrote an Amazon best-selling book called The Search For The Perfect Protein.

Additionally, Dr. Minkoff and his wife set up a small clinic in 1997 to help some friends with their medical problems.
