Vice President of Product Development & Training, Symmetry International

"I have used my clinical experience and knowledge of Chinese herbal supplements and Western nutrition to produce state-of-the-art supplements for the past 15 years. I'm proud to be working closely with Mr. Revak and the rest of the T.R.A.C. team to ensure Symmetry's supplements lead the field. The T.R.A.C. team gives all of the members a sounding board; we all have different areas of expertise, and the mix ensures that people get the best of everything."

Dr. Mark Crāpō earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Central Michigan University, graduating Cum Laude. Later, while serving as an Air Force officer, he was diagnosed with an incurable bowel disorder and was given less than a year to live. After visiting several hospitals in Texas and California, Western medicine gave up on him. Traditional Chinese medicine saved his life. He returned to school to earn a Master's degree in Acupuncture and a Doctorate in Oriental Medicine, both times finishing in the top 5 of his class at the prestigious California Acupuncture College. Dr. Crāpō has published a number of articles on Oriental Medicine, health, healing, herbs, and martial arts, in addition to a college textbook on Acupuncture.

After graduation, Dr. Crāpō began practice as a primary health care physician in Torrance, California. He later moved home to Michigan and maintained a thriving practice specializing in pediatrics, OB/GYN, pain management and drug addiction. Dr.Crāpō has taught continuing education classes for MDs, DOs, nurses, physical therapists and acupuncturists. After 15 years, Dr. Crāpō left his busy practice to join Symmetry as Vice President of Product Development and Training. He plays an active role in formulating new products and reformulating existing products when new nutritional or manufacturing discoveries are made. Dr. Crāpō travels around the world educating distributors about Symmetry's fine products and the wonders of supplementation.

In Dr. Crāpō's "spare" time, he studies Aikido. He holds a sixth degree black belt in this martial art and has even produced an instructional video series on Aikido.

A few of his many honors include being listed in the Who's Who of Outstanding Americans, being inducted into the Christian Martial Arts Hall of Fame and being presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
