Introducing Physicians Pioneering Performance LLC™

We have established a group of like-minded physicians with strong backgrounds in exercise physiology/nutrition/ fitness/ athletics. The group is named Physicians Pioneering Performance, LLC. We believe there is a large unmet need for a "team" like ours with such unique skill sets. As a collaborative unit, we seek various forums that allow us to reach the masses and be effective at adding quality to people's lives.

We aspire to merge the following:

1 Experience and zeal for athletic performance enhancement via performance nutrition and strength & conditioning.
  2   Passion for improving quality of life/ maximizing functional capacity of the disabled or injured patient.
  3
  Interest in preventive medicine, while optimizing health and wellness of the able bodied population.
The driving force behind the alliance between Physicians Pioneering Performance and MyoTrend Nutritional Technologies is to educate countless consumers who are tired of false promises, flash marketing of "trendy" supplements from companies looking to profit by capitalizing on the "latest craze" without regard to adequate research, innovation, and consumer safety. This alliance seeks to first and foremost educate and empower consumers, as well as bring forth supplements that we believe have long-lasting value. Myotrend is a supplement company devoted to relationships with reputable suppliers of raw material, manufacturers of high quality ingredients to bring forth products through quality control/assurance, accurate labeling, standardized purity testing of product that is lacking in the supplement industry as a whole. PPP, LLC is a company comprised of members with expertise and knowledge from allopathic medicine, sports medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, alternative medicine, sports performance, diet/nutrition, applied and clinical research. We are sensitive to the needs of diverse populations, from athletes, active healthy individuals, to patients afflicted with illness, disability, and medical co-morbodities. The company seeks to integrate basic and applied nutritional science, medicine, and human performance research to accommodate the needs of this diverse population. The collaboration between PPP and MyoTrend combines the cumulative expertise of both companies in a synergistic fashion. We are a relatively young, dynamic group with a broad, holistic array of academic training and practical hands-on experience. The results are supplement formulations that embody a true balance between the best available research, our best appraisal of the available evidence, and the forefront of innovation through out-of-the-box thinking.
