Dr. Jared Pelo sits down with Dr. Ryan Greene, founder of Monarch Athletic Labs, to discuss the future of health, wellness, and longevity. Dr. Green shares his journey from aspiring sports medicine orthopedist to pioneering a new model of integrated health and fitness.
Dr. Greene's vision for Monarch Athletic Labs emerged from his realization that the resources and knowledge typically reserved for college and professional athletes should be accessible to everyone. He saw an opportunity to create a "one-stop shop" for health and wellness, combining exercise facilities with comprehensive medical care, physical therapy, nutrition counseling, and recovery services.
Dr. Green shared impressive outcomes from Monarch's approach:
Both Dr. Greene and Dr. Pelo emphasized the crucial role of strength and mobility in healthy aging. They noted that maintaining these physical capacities is essential for independence and quality of life as we age.
Monarch is expanding its services to include mental health support, including neurofeedback and potentially psychedelic-assisted therapy in the future. They're also developing a virtual platform to integrate various health data sources and provide a comprehensive health management tool.
The key to longevity, according to Dr. Pelo, is a simple equation: freedom from disease combined with building and maintaining muscle, strength, and mobility for as long as possible. Monarch Athletic Labs is providing a innovative model to help people achieve these goals in a supportive, community-oriented environment.
For those interested in bringing a Monarch facility to their area, Dr. Green encourages reaching out to explore potential partnerships and investment opportunities.
This conversation offers a fascinating glimpse into the future of integrated health and wellness, showcasing how innovative approaches like Monarch's can help people live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.
