Chris Boettcher - Episode 137

“If we’re not choosing discomfort in some capacity, then it can quickly spiral and lead to a very purposeless life”

Chris Boettcher is the eldest of 4 brothers, so competitiveness and rivalry is second nature to him.

Talent is definitely not lacking in his physiology. He is a former college basketball player turned track athlete, and also a 10x Ironman Finisher!

As a doctor of Physical Therapy, his background allows him to draw from extensive experience working with the sickest patients to the highest level athletes, helping them to achieve greater health quality and lifespan.

Recently, he co-founded “Brother 2 Brother,” a community health and wellness program for men. Providing them with the tools and structure to develop a mindset for long term success.
