TRAC TEAM

Mark Crapo, O.M.D., D.Ac., B.S., C.A. L.Ac.
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 Crapo 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. Crapo 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. Crapo 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. Crapo has taught continuing education classes for MDs, DOs, nurses, physical therapists and acupuncturists. After 15 years, Dr. Crapo 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. Crapo travels around the world educating distributors about Symmetry's fine products and the wonders of supplementation.
In Dr. Crapo's "spare" time, he studies Aikido. He holds a fifth 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.

Frederic Vagnini, M.D., F.A.C.S.
As a cardiovascular surgeon, for more than 20 years I was actively engaged in treating cardiovascular disease through the most advanced and complex application of surgical technology - coronary by-passes, heart valve repair, and aneurysm surgery. Over the years we have seen a reduction in the number of invasive procedures due to the advances in less invasive procedures, such as with balloon and laser angioplasties. But what is even more exciting are the advances reported by biochemical laboratories demonstrating the connection between diet, nutrients, blood chemicals, and the abnormalities in one's circulatory system which bring on disease. My hope is that in the future, people will be able to maintain cardiovascular health through diet and lifestyle changes and avoid surgery all together! I strongly believe that products like Cardio Essentials are on the forefront of this new frontier - offering maximum nutritional supplementation targeted specifically at cardiovascular health."

“I joined Symmetry's T.R.A.C. team because I feel Symmetry has a place in everyone's life. The Standard American Diet, or the 'SAD' diet, has excesses of calories and fat and is deficient in the perfect foods that God gives us — like fruits and vegetables. I feel that nutritional supplementation is one solution to this problem. Changing eating habits can be difficult, and although I think everyone should strive to eat healthy foods, many people are more willing to try nutritional supplementation before overhauling their diet and lifestyle."
