Climbing Mt. Everest w/ guest Garrett Salpeter

Join Dr. Jay and Brad as they interview the founder of Neufit and author of The Neufit Method, Garrett Salpeter.
In 2007, Garrett Salpeter, who was studying physics and engineering and playing college hockey, suffered a wrist injury that necessitated surgery. Before undergoing surgical intervention, a chiropractic neurologist introduced him to functional neurology and early forms of DC devices as an alternative treatment. Salpeter used himself as a test subject, and remarkably, within just three weeks, he achieved complete recovery, sidestepping the need for surgery and returning to hockey.
This sparked his interest in the nervous system and how it could be used to help people heal. He even started treating some of his hockey teammates in his dorm room with DC devices, noticing better results compared to AC devices and traditional therapy.
To further his knowledge, Salpeter dedicated himself to self-study and took graduate level neuroscience classes. In 2009, he opened his first clinic in a small room within a chiropractor’s office. As he gained more experience, he became convinced that he could create a more effective device to help people recover.
In 2015, he started developing the Neubie® device, and NeuFit was eventually launched in 2017. Since then, the company has experienced significant growth and has helped thousands of people unlock their healing potential and achieve significant results. NeuFit provides doctors, therapists, and other professionals with leading-edge technology, research-backed methods, and unparalleled clinical support to supercharge their practices and help them get transformational outcomes with their patients.
