Summary
Jeff Byers is the co-founder and CEO of Momentous -- a holistic wellness and nutrition company based in Park City, Utah. Designed by the brightest minds in performance athletics, but available for the everyday wellness enthusiast, Momentous is the first and only supplement brand to build formulas directly with experts from each of the four Major American Sports Leagues, launching in 2018 with a line of products designed by performance directors and dietitians from the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB.
Before Momentous Jeff had an insane collegiate athletic career all while getting his undergraduate degree and MBA, and THEN went on to play in the NFL for four years. We get into it all and learn why one of Jeff’s goals is to democratize high performance.
This episode of The Ready State Podcast is brought to you by Momentous, a leading high performance lifestyle company making the best supplements and sports nutrition products for individuals looking to optimize all parts of their lives. Kelly and Juliet want to make sure to have all the building blocks on board to prevent those all too common middle-aged strains and tweaks. Which is why they are obsessed with the Momentous Collagen Shots. Yes, it's collagen, but because it's a little single-serve shot, their consistency game is leveled up.
