On Episode 84, it's finally here - the 'Complications' Edition. In limb lengthening there is the good, the bad and the ugly...well this episode will showcase the latter two. This is a somber yet important episode as it shows the unfortunate cases that are happening at inexperienced clinics. My hope is that this episode SCARES patients to pick an experienced surgeon and do their part as a compliant patient to end up with a good end result after lengthening. 🌐Website: https://cyborg4life.com/ 🦴Get FREE Access to Limb Lengthening Secrets: https://cyborg4life.com/secrets 📱Join FREE Limb Lengthening Discord for Free: https://discord.gg/KQHYqBgzfA 📞Want to Book a Consultation? https://cyborg4life.com/consult 🎧Audio Podcast: https://anchor.fm/leglengthening%20 🦾BEST Rehab & Recovery Tools - https://cyborg4life.com/helpful-resou... 👕Cyborg 4 Life Merch: https://cyborg4life.myspreadshop.com/ ✅Checkout the EKRIN B37 Massage Gun for Rehab.

For years people have thought genetics was the only factor that determined a person's height and physical growth...that is until now.

For over 30 years, world renowned and leading expert on the patterns of human growth and development, Barry Bogin (PhD), has been researching the "hidden-truths" about growth.

He focuses his 3rd rendition of his book "Patterns of Human Growth" on the concept of SEPE (social-economic-political-emotional) factors that strongly impact how tall you will grow and physical development.

I personally bought and read the e-book - it's so informative on several aspects of human growth you'll even be able to relate your current height or body size to your own SEPE factors.
