J&M Strength and Conditioning Radio

Dr. Josh offers life changing health solutions on his radio show, which is heard by tens of thousands of people each week on the air and online. He is the founder of Exodus Health Center in Nashville, TN, where hundreds of families are reclaiming their health. Since the clinic opened in February of 2008, people suffering from Crohn's and colitis have recovered completely. Cases of Type 2 Diabetes have been reversed, and countless other individuals have lost weight and reduced the amount of medications needed. For many people, Exodus Health Center was a last resort–when all other outlets of the medical field had not succeeded in giving them back their health. Dr. Josh is also the physician for many professional athletes. He has worked with athletes including the likes of Ryan Lochte and Peter Vanderkaay. He has traveled with the teams to many prestigious meets and events, doing nutritional counseling, adjusting and muscle work to ensure their bodies are at their peak performance level. Dr. Josh completed his undergraduate education at the University of Kentucky and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Palmer College in Port Orange, Fla. His passion to see lives transformed is contagious, as is evident in all he seeks to accomplish.
