Meet John, Founder and Owner

John Busch IV

Founder

John is passionate about health and wellness and has been for over 15 years now. Actually since a lifelong journey of sports as a kid John has always loved to move. That has evolved over time into loving functional fitness, learning to support the body, expanding his supplement knowledge and finding different paths to serve people in these areas.

John has educated on variety of health and men's wellness topics online and in person. His passion in men's health led him to host a retreat years back to support men in personal growth areas of mental, emotional and physical health. This retreat with his best friend Jon and other dear friend Ky (who has since passed in 2025) only compounded his passion for educating in this space to inspire men and women to not just exist but learn to listen to their body and thrive.

Outside the clinic, John is a proud father, works hard to be an example his children can be proud of and an advocate for wellness. He loves to workout and enjoy a variety of books and being a student of life, aside from busy days, he most treasures quiet moments with Lauren, cooking and sharing meals and time with his family.
