Steven has started several companies and with his company, Kaatsu, he is currently enabling people from wounded warriors and paraplegics to Olympic and professional athletes to rehabilitate more quickly, effectively and conveniently, and to enable older, sedentary individuals improve their blood circulation and muscle tone.  “We use these bands as a catalyst to create an engorgement of blood in the limbs and that is the kickstarter to a variety of hormonal and metabolic responses in the body.”“Our oldest user is 104 years old, we have another user who is 95. They just want to continue a quality of life, they want to be able to open up a jar, they want to be able to wash their hair easily, and they want to sweep around their house. Just to handle these things they need to maintain their muscle mass.” “With older people, it’s also a very critical thing that we are standing, sitting, standing, sitting, standing, sitting to teach them that when you might trip, the last thing we want is for them to fall and break a bone. If they can catch themselves, maybe they don’t break their bone. Maybe they catch themselves and they’re able to not have to go to the ER.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Connect with Steven:LinkedInKaatsu — Use code “SuperAge5” for a 5% discount off Kaatsu.Say hi to the AGEIST team!
