Craig Preisendorf trains MMA fighters and other high-level athletes. He has been dubbed the Superhero Maker, a title he readily accepts and embraces. From a very young age, he was captivated by the pictures in fitness magazines of pronounced veins and great physiques. While training for competitions he encountered a series of bad coaches who cared little for nutrition or body wellness. His last bad training experience landed him in a hospital where he had a near death experience. After being fed up with all the bad information and harmful supplements moving through the fitness industry, he decided to bring internal nutrition and brain food to the forefront of his training programs.
