Guest: Jesse Ohliger @thebreathbelt Host: Brian Costello @bcostello____ Former NFL player Jesse Ohliger joins us to discuss the story of his career ending injuries and how he finally discovered the underlying issues a decade later.  What he learned is that these issues are incredibly common, but can easily be fixed through proper breathing mechanics and in turn, returning to natural glute firing patterns.  He used all of this knowledge to design a device that retrains the body back to it's natural state, allowing for optimal mobility, power, and health.   www.thebreathbelt.com   Discount Code ‘FR20’ for 20% discount + FREE SHIPPING in USA
