In 2018, Dino expanded the vision for Renu by opening their next location in Raleigh, NC. The dream is to have specialized facilities that serve the community and be a center medical professionals can trust to send their patients thus improving outcomes, reducing healthcare use and costs. Most importantly helping people become more resilient physically and cognitively, returning to them a body that operates years if not decades younger than their chronological age.
Most recently, at the request of parents and grandparents Dino initiated the Renu Youth Conditioning and Sports Prep program to reach the next generation. Seeing the importance exercise has over the course of an adult life coupled with the most recent research on the benefits of structured programs in youth on stress tolerance, mood and psychological wellbeing, sports and academic performance Dino is excited for the launch of this new endeavor. His first book that was rejected 6 times was actually for youth to address the obesity crisis he saw coming in the early 2000’s.
