Bio: Brian MacKenzie is an expert in the development and
application of custom protocols to optimize human health and
performance. His work harnesses and integrates respiratory,
movement, strength and endurance-based training approaches to
elicit unprecedented positive results. His protocols have been used
to accelerate and raise both mental and physical performance in
world-class Olympic and professional athletes, top executives, and
operators, as well as to improve the health for people suffering
from various chronic illnesses. Everyday people have also used
Brian’s tools to reduce pathologic stress and to vastly heighten
their mental and physical well being and performance.
A highly unique feature of Brian’s approach is that he
voluntarily and repeatedly subjects his protocols to rigorous 3rd
party scientific testing, re-testing, and improvement, at top
institutions including Stanford University School of Medicine,
Florida A&M University and The Center for Sports Performance.
Few, if any, experts directly seek to apply unbiased laboratory and
field testing to their craft as Mackenzie does.
Brian is himself an accomplished athlete having completed the
Ironman (Canada, 2004), both The Western States 100 (2006) mile and
The Angeles Crest 100 (2007) mile runs using adapted training
protocols he developed to avoid injury and fatigue. Also a prolific
writer, Brian co-authored the book Power Speed Endurance, The New
York Times Best Seller UnBreakable Runner,
and UnPlugged, which assesses the
integration of emergent technology and human performance. His
programs have been featured in Outside Magazine, Men’s Health,
Runners World, Triathlete Magazine, Men’s Journal, ESPN Rise, as
well as periodicals such as The Economist. Brian and his protocols
have been featured in 4 of Timothy Ferriss’ New York Times
bestselling books including: “The 4-Hour Body” and “Tools of
Titans”.
Brian MacKenzie’s programs have been taught at more than 400
seminars worldwide and are used by thousands of athletes ranging
from beginners to elite medalists and record holders via his
“Power, Speed, Endurance” platform and by private
consultation.
Currently, Brian is the Co-Founder and President of the Health
and Human Performance Foundation (HHPF), and the Creative Director at Power Speed
Endurance, a company focused on the optimization of human
performance, corporate performance and the delivery of
science-based protocols to optimize physical, emotional and
cognitive performance for health.
