What it means to be hyper well | Steve Welch

Live Long and Master Aging

Retail wellness companies are becoming a more familiar sight on the high street, whether it’s for an infrared sauna, red light therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, cryotherapy or intravenous drip, there’s a lot of choice. It feels good at the time. You might leave with a healthy glow, but how many of these practices actually change our health outcomes? Indeed, are they designed to do that? Are they really good for us?
“We want people to do more of what they love because I assure you, the more you do the things you love when you’re younger and later in life, the better your health span is going to be,” says Steve Welch, co-founder of Restore Hyper Wellness.
Steve’s new book, written with coauthor Jim Donnelly, is Restore: The Life Changing Power of Right Away Wellness.
