Summary

Dr. Mark Cheng is my healer, my teacher, my friend and my brother.

A lifelong student of healing, harming, and helping the human body through martial and medical sciences, he has devoted countless hours across continents to connect the dots for his patients.

Spending time with the man will not only improve your mindset and how you operate as a human being but also leave your body feeling healthier, stronger and more bulletproof than ever before. (That is, as long as he's practicing medicine on you and not martial arts.)

If you can’t hang with Doc Cheng in person the next best thing is to listen to him right here on the all new #RenegadeRadioPodcast! Today YOU have the incredible benefit of learning from Mark’s profound wisdom, impactful insights, and world-class coaching.
