Welcome to the Gear Growth and Gains podcast hosted by me, Type-IIx. In today's episode, we dive deep into the intersection of cutting edge recovery techniques and advanced hormone optimization strategies. First, I had the privilege of speaking with Doctor Umar Niar, the soft tissue clinician and chiropractor behind Nick Walker's Elite Recovery and Injury Management. We explore how targeted soft tissue work supports not just pain relief, but also long term performance gains and injury prevention. Cormac Mannion (Type-IIx) 00:03:04  Then we transition into the first podcast of the Advanced Biomarker eries, where I'll continue breaking down how to read and interpret your bloodwork to optimize hormones safely and effectively.

Stay tuned for the full interview and an in-depth guide to mastering your biomarkers. All right, let's get into it. Okay, so I am here today with Doctor Umar Nisar, who I would introduce as basically Nick Walker soft tissue guy. But he can tell us a lot more about what he is, what he does. doctor Nassar runs asylum sport performance and recovery in Voorhees, new Jersey, which I'm hopefully pronouncing correctly. But, yeah. Doctor Nisar, why don't you tell us a little about yourself, your introduction here? Umar Nisar 00:04:05  Yeah. Well, first of all, thank you so much for having me. Umar Nisar 00:04:07  I appreciate you reaching out and making this possible. I'm really excited to talk about some of the stuff that we have prepared, and just to hopefully get out to a little bit more of the population that listens to the podcast. but I am a chiropractor by trade and license. I do practice very heavily in manual therapy. I've been doing this now for a handful of years, but three years since having Asylum Sports Performance and Recovery, which is located in Voorhees, new Jersey. I went to grad school in upstate New York, originally went to a community college locally here in South Jersey, and studied human biology and then transferred over to Drexel University, where I continued my undergrad and human bio. And then from there I went on to grad school because I found my way to chiropractic. it wasn't that it was like so much life changing. It was more so just that a chiropractor that I had met had set me on this new path just because of our relationship and conversation, not because of the philosophy of what chiropractic is, but more so just the way that he had communicated to me, which changed, my view on the injury that I had at the time and then put me on this path and then obviously inspired. Umar Nisar 00:05:14  Yeah, yeah, inspired me. And fast forward us to basically now getting here and being one of Nick Walker's, soft tissue people. Cormac Mannion (Type-IIx) 00:05:22  Excellent. Yeah. And you can find more about Doctor Nassar's, business and what he does at asylum, ESPN.com and at the Asylum Sport clinic underscore on Instagram. So, Doctor Nisar, what led you to establish Asylum SPR and what does your background in sport performance, how does it influence your approach to treating bodybuilders versus other athletes? Umar Nisar 00:05:46  So I was never under the intention of like I was going to do my own business anytime soon. I was hoping to work under a family practice located also in South Jerse

Cormac Mannion (Type-IIx) 00:02:56  Yes, Peter. Nice to meet you. Thank you for coming here, Peter. So I'm here today with Janoshik. Okay, so everybody knows him as Janoshik. He is the biggest company involved in this space for testing peptides. Peter Magic is here. He's Slovak now in the Czech Republic. Is that correct? You're actually from. You're Slovak? Yeah, yeah. Slovak. Peter Magic (Janoshik) 00:03:16  Yeah, yeah. I was born in Slovakia. I actually used the name Janosik to distinguish the fact that I'm from Slovakia. It's like the national hero over there. And many, many years ago, we just roamed the anonymous boards online. Peter Magic (Janoshik) 00:03:32  but we sort of wanted to get distinguished. So we set up some nicknames, like the Italian Janacek, etc., etc. and it sort of stuck with me, you know? Cormac Mannion (Type-IIx) 00:03:46  Yeah. From what I understand, Janoshik is like the real life Robin Hood, from what we hear over here. He was like a highwayman, but actually existed. Is that true? Multiple Speakers 00:03:54  Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Peter Magic (Janoshik) 00:03:56  That's true. and he's really well known in Slovakia. They made a couple of movies about him. And it's a folk legend. Multiple Speakers 00:04:04  Basically, I can't like. I can't believe we don't know who it is. Like, it's just. Yeah. First. First I've ever heard of Janoshik is your company. So when did you open up business on janoshik.com for the international online market? Peter Magic (Janoshik) 00:04:17  Well, I've been around since 2012 or 2013. I would have to check. and I'm not really confident. You know, I didn't keep too many records from back then, but it was just walking with friends. Peter Magic (Janoshik) 00:04:29  You know, I had many friends in the bodybuilding and powerlifting and weightlifting communities in general, and they had this issue that they were using stuff and they didn't have a slightest idea what they were using. There were some companies like Semic in Switzerland and so on. we did the test, but they were incredibly so expensive. Wrong all the time. So they weren't accepting private people, private person business, and I figured I might try it out to help my friends at a local university. So we did just that. Cormac Mannion (Type-IIx) 00:05:10  Yeah, that's pretty cool. I mean, to be able to help your friends out like that. So at what point did you transition from handling testing yourself to building out a team? And how is that scaling process altered your day to day involvement? Peter Magic (Janoshik) 00:05:22  Wow. I did all the testing myself until, like five years ago when then I hired some help for. So it's only. Cormac Mannion (Type-IIx) 00:05:34  Been five years. Really? Okay, yeah, but you've been around. You started doing this, like, a decade ago, and in the last five years, you've really grown. Peter Magic (Janoshik) 00:05:41  Yeah. Yeah, that's that's. I was handling it all myself for quite a while. That's been real difficult. But I started building a team roughly five years ago when I hired a girl to help me out who was studying chemistry in Prague. So she helped out at the lab and she was a great help. She actually was working here until this summer when she left for maternity leave for so. And she might she might be coming back after that. And over the time I hired my
