Z-Health—it'll seem like magic, but it's based on the hardest science: discover how to eliminate pain and fast-fix the body—so you and your clients are free to excel as the natural athletes you already are…
Dr. Eric Cobb's Z-Health system gains its great power from a central insight:
When it comes to our well-being and physical performance, the nervous system RULES!
Unfortunately this Ruling System can be—and almost always is—subject to decay and malfunction. And when the Ruling System is compromised, a cascade of problems inevitably begins to affect the body's ability to survive, compete and prosper…
If the nervous system is left entirely to its own devices, it can literally cripple you, even entirely destroy your ability to function without great pain and debilitating disease.
Attempting to be your best friend and save you from perceived threat, your nervous system can and often does turn into your worst enemy, playing absolute havoc with your health and happiness.
When our nervous system has got us by the throat and is slowly throttling the life out of us—most of us have little clue and less training in how to heed and effectively respond to the danger signals that erupt from our body.
Great athletes have their careers cut short. The average athlete declines into sub-par mediocrity. The rest of us struggle increasingly with performance-crimping pains and aches and eventually become empty husks compared to our vibrant former selves.
Many of us get trapped on an endless treadmill of expensive massage, chiropractic, nouveau diets, gizmos and one "magical promise" treatment after another, looking in vain for a fix to our woes. Many of us even resort to pain-killing drugs and other destructive medications. (Which at best just numb us toward an even speedier decline…)
Sadly, most of us simply continue to deteriorate, in strength, in flexibility, in performance, in our general health.
Through ignorance, we give away our power to the nervous system and let it contribute to our quicker destruction…
But it doesn't have to be that way!
If we can understand—truly understand—how the nervous system really operates we can form a WIN-WIN partnership with our "ruler"—and radically shift the balance of power.
Instead of being the unwitting victims of a despot run rampant, we become the guiding pilots of a magnificently tuned and calibrated system for supreme physical performance…
Enter Dr. Eric Cobb's Z-Health program—giving you everything you need—not only to regain full control of your body—but also to ramp up your physical performance to almost "superstar" levels.
Brilliant, immensely erudite, Dr. Cobb has explored every imaginable avenue in his constant quest to push the human performance envelope. From esoteric Russian health systems, to Feldenkreis and somatics, to sports, to martial arts, to the frontiers of Western neuroscience, Dr. Cobb has made it his life-purpose to understand how we can live truly pain-free, high-performance lives.
And be it the professional athlete or the formerly bed-ridden housewife—the results have spoken for themselves. Time and time again: careers resurrected or jump-started. Shattered lives rebuilt. Hope rekindled. Vibrant life reclaimed.
Having watched an increasing number of our best RKCs go through the Z-Health program and report amazing results… and having myself attended the six-day Z-Health R-Phase certification, I was confident enough in Z-Health to organize a 3-day introduction to Dr. Cobb's system, for a larger audience.
Right now, Z-Health is the inner success secret for an elite group of high performers and trainers—and a handful of lucky lay folk.
But I thought it a crying shame that such a powerful health and performance system continue to remain almost "under wraps". The private reserve of a lucky few who are in the know.
So, at my personal invitation, Dr. Cobb agreed to share key insights and drills from THREE levels of his Z-Health certification program. The result was his highly-acclaimed October 2008 workshop, Z-Health: The Essential Secrets of Elite Performance.
Dr. Cobb's workshop was so well-received that we have both agreed to repeat the offering at least one more time.
Until now, you would have had to invest many, many thousands of dollars to access this information—over a very extended period of time.
But, finally you can access much of this amazing knowledge for a fraction of that expense in both time and money…
As a fortunate participant, here's what you will walk way with after attending Dr. Cobb's Z-Health: The Essential Secrets of Elite Performance:
Become an equal partner with your nervous system when you discover how to eliminate pain and boost performance—across the board.
Discover how to take advantage of your natural inborn reflexes—to make them help you, not hinder you. Hardly a soul on the planet really understands how to do this. Now, YOU'LL know!
Get a "best of" approach to learning the practical application of Z-Health principles, drills, and techniques utilized by elite athletes around the world—to achieve that special competitive edge.
Be spoon-fed the essential theory behind the latest scientific breakthroughs—Dr. Cobb is brilliant at turning the most sophisticated "neurophysiology of performance" into a simple set of easy-to-grasp and easy-to-apply formulas. He's done the heavy lifting for you—now just gulp down and get going!
And speaking of spoon-fed, don't worry, there will be nothing on the menu that resembles a "riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma":
Your Z-Health course is going to be strictly a "meat and potatoes" affair—filled with high-payoff drills, exercises and concepts you can immediately apply to enhance your life, health and performance.
This course is going to be ALL ABOUT PAYOFF in the field of performance. We're talking a major bang for your buck in the world of real physical movement—whether it be gardening in your back yard pain-free, or competing on the highest level as a professional athlete.
Day 1 (R-Phase Emphasis)
- Prepare to be wowed
There's nothing like a demonstration of compellingly fast results, to turn your head faster than Linda Blair in the Exorcist. Dr. Cobb will give you demos from each Z-Health level and show you immediate changes in performance. See for yourself right up front, how Z-Health is a systematic program that transforms "average Joes" into "natural athletes", as a matter of course.
- Learn how to focus on the real prize—with the Z-Health "Lens"
Modern "fitness-speak" can be an incredible kaleidoscope of contrary opinions and strategies. When you start viewing things through this powerful Z-Health "Lens", you'll no longer be confused about what's right and what's wrong!
- Understand the body's movement map
Sadly, only a handful of trainers and docs and therapists have kept up with the astonishing performance applications to be gained from the recent advances in modern science. The insights you gain here will be worth the price of admittance alone…
- Grasp and forever own the fundamentals of pain-free, effective movement
Discover how the muscles, nerves and joints MUST interact for truly effective and pain-free movement—and the critical role played in all of this by the Central Nervous System.
- Understand how to turn the Governing Law of human physiology into your personal fitness slave
If you don't understand this key principle—and know how to manipulate it to your advantage—your training will suffer forever!
Quite frequently in the seminar, Dr. Cobb will do his best impersonation of a miner brandishing a gold ingot the size of Mike Tyson's fist. Expect to see this glittering ingot right here, as the good Doctor reveals one of the most prized principles behind the Z-Health magic.
- Learn the single most important question you can ask yourself about your training
If you don't ask it and act correctly on the answer—you belong back on the treadmill with the other hamsters!
- Understand—and learn to master—the dynamics of survival vs. performance
Your body's unconscious drive to protect itself and survive, could be dramatically sabotaging your performance. Understand how to get the best of both worlds, so you can be a world-class performer AND stay safe.
- Understand why the secret to performance success often lies in what you do—or don't do—with your joints
Learn why and how correctly performed mobility work builds strength and performance at blink-of-an-eye speed.
- How to succeed at home and keep on track with your newfound Z-Health skills
Learn a crucial "home testing system" that guarantees you be able to monitor and self-correct your progress.
- Take away the entire R-Phase Toolbox
The goal of the first phase of Z-Health is to learn the movement ABCs. Known for its ultra-precise joint mobility drills, the 160+ drills of R-Phase will ensure you function at your best. When you own these fundamentals, you also own your future success!
Day 2 (I-Phase Emphasis)
- Graduate from the Movement Alphabet to Movement Fluency
To maintain our vigor, vitality and high performance in real life, we need to stir it up with an entertaining mix of more complex moves—while maintaining our mastery of the fundamentals. Here's how you learn to do that successfully!
- Learn to create your own mobility programs using the Z-Health Movement Template approach
From the ABCs to Movement Fluency, it is essential to learn how to create your own movement templates, to meet the demands of your sport or life, and to be able to create new and improved programs for yourself as you grow and alter your programs and life.
Here's a crash course in movement creativity—another "bonus" worth the price of admission all by itself!
- Understand the body's Neural Hierarchy (Visual, Vestibular & Proprioceptive) and how problems in any of them can negatively affect your strength and performance
When you learn Math, you begin with addition and subtraction. You don't begin with differential equations, because you can't. The body's movement hierarchy is no different and contains an equally essential progression. Get it here!
- Learn how the visual muscles function reflexively and how to use this information to make immediate gains in strength, speed, flexibility and mobility
Because of the dominance of vision to movement for the sake of survival, it is possible to work WITH your NS to make IMMEDIATE changes by adding in different eye positions.
- Learn drills to strengthen the visual muscles and maximize your positive gains.
The eyes are moved by muscles and keeping them strong and capable is essential for decreasing the threat to the body—and to getting the best results in working with your nervous system, not against it.
- What the Vestibular System is, how it works and what this means for your athletic abilities.
The vestibular system is second in the hierarchy of movement, and is also ESSENTIAL for creating better movement skill. Here's another key to working with your body—not against it—for reaching your specific goals at rapid speed.
- The Startle Reflex and its relation to the vestibular system.
Understanding the dynamics of the Startle Reflex and its impact on your vestibular system is vital. Know accurately when you are working with your own body and when you are working against it or fighting yourself.
- Learn elite-level balance training drills
Discover a set of vestibular training challenges, from the I-Phase template. Learn to recognize when injury is most likely to happen and how to prepare your body to avoid it.
- Learn baseline testing, visual and vestibular drills and skills
Learn eye position testing for assessing if the eyes are having a problem. And what you can do to fix it.
Day 3 (S-Phase Emphasis)
- Putting it all together—moving from good to great
According to Z-Health, all of the goals you set have MOVEMENT at the foundation. It is not possible to achieve your goals without a GREAT movement foundation and without working within the guidelines of the NS in charge. But more then just a foundation of great movement there has to be great movement at the more elite level. The body is capable of it and the nervous system craves the growth, learning, change and challenge of complexity.
The final day will help you move to this higher level.
- Understanding the difference between visual muscles, visual acuity and "field vision"
20/20 does not mean you have good vision or even good sports vision or good field vision. Each of these is a trained skill that can be taught and learned. Find out more here!
- How to develop elite level visual skills in just 3 minutes per day
- Learn key visual drills
Master Eye Tracking, Near Far, Peripheral Vision Drills, "Snapshot" Drill, Hand/Eye Drills, Hand/Foot Coordination Drills.
- Learn Linear Speed basics
Almost all athletes need great explosive linear speed over very short distances. This is all about TECHNIQUE OVER RAW HORSEPOWER. Learn the technical drills that will separate you from the competition.
Here are the essentials for teaching the most average athlete to move like he is elite!
- Discover the secrets of mastering Lateral Speed
In addition to great linear speed, the best athletes can move in any direction effortlessly and powerfully. Once again, technique rules!
- How to massively develop your power
While technique is vital so is power! Learn the unique Z-Health approach to total body power called Upper Body/Lower Body Differentiation
Still Wondering if This is For You?—Then Check Out this Praise for The Essential Secrets of Elite Performance, October 2008 Z-Health Workshop:
"Dr. Cobb has introduced a different approach to training, one that has been overlooked by the majority of the supposed experts in the fitness field. His knowledge of how the body actually works is astounding. His ability to teach in a manner that takes something as complex as our body and take it to optimal performance, with simple movements, is amazing.
In the past 2 ½ years I've only attended Dragon Door workshops (6). Dragon Door has always in my opinion offered cutting edge quality in every workshop. I apply 100% of the material in my business after every workshop, which I think is pretty incredible."— Diane Salettel, RKC II Bedford, OH
"Absolutely fantastic! I learned a lot about myself and why I am who I am and how I am who I am. A lot of my life physically, mentally, emotionally, neurologically, medically and experientially makes much more sense."—Matt Deane, Fitness Professional; Naples, FL
 |
"Excellent program with total integration of how vision, vestibular, proprioception and joint mobility affect the way we move and perform. Excellent program that will strongly influence the way I train myself and others in the future and help with injury prevention and improve function."—Dr. Ricardo Nieves, RKC II, CK-FMS, Carlsbad, NM |
"The best student/teacher ratio I have ever experienced at a workshop put this experience as the best fitness industry workshop I have attended. This component was the key to why I learned so much. Attention was given to all the attendees, and plenty of it."—John Rock, RKC II, Personal Trainer; Arden Hills, MN
"This is the absolute best investment I have ever made. This has opened my mind to a new level of training. To be a trainer without this knowledge severely limits that trainer's ability to be effective. I have always been asked to train other people, but I have been hesitant to do so. I knew the knowledge I previously held was not sufficient to be ethical and effective, therefore I rarely trained others Not anymore!"—Lucas Guili, St. Louis Park, MN
"I think it is the best possible introduction to levels 1-3, providing powerful tools for everyone. The principles are clearly presented with lots of demos and practice to back it up. Dr. Cobb did an amazing job. He presented material that I, as a level 4 trainer, had never seen before. It is incredibly hard to compress 14 days of cert. in to 3 days, yet he did it – providing a great blend of science, tools, and assessment.

A fantastic general public course and will give anyone who attended an unbelievable jumpstart in to the certification process. Really, really well done."—Jennifer Waak, RKC Seattle, WA |
Name: T. Michael Edwards, Farrier-28 years; Gainesville, FL
Achievements: B.S. Animal Science. Graduate studies in Equine Nutrition and Human Exercise Physiology. USN- 1970-1974. 4 years with UF Aikido Club.
Towards the end of the second day, I realized that Z-Health protocols were going to be my "bottom line" for rehab and performance optimization. Not only was I even more impressed with the breadth and depth of Dr. Cobb's presentation than I expected to be, all of the instructors I talked to were just as informed and "on top of their game" as one could hope for – all of which spoke very highly for his certification program. I got what I came for and then some.

"It was as though someone suddenly switched the lights on as to why I have certain training weaknesses and injuries and how I can correct almost all of them instantly."—Martin Brown, Kent, United Kingdom |
"This is the most I have ever learned in the time given! Dr. Cobb is THE MAN! Thank you All. Top quality. I feel the same as I did with the RKC and even my NPTT."—James Mortimer, RKC, Personal Trainer; Forest Lake, MN
"I have heard first-hand testimonials about life changing experiences and realized a difference can be made in the quality of life of individuals whom most people have given up on. I am also excited to increase my own chances for athletic success and longevity.
Mind blowing stuff. I was particularly impressed by how the system can take almost anyone from currently un-athletic six year old to stroke victims – and make them happier and healthier. I would equate this workshop with the RKC and FMS courses I have taken, which are all far better than most other courses I've taken."—Michael Golden, RKC, Martial Arts Instructor; Rocky Hill, CT
 |
"Z-Health was an incredible experience that left me wanting to understand more, to learn more and to do more, not only for myself, but for my clients, family and friends. A huge amount of information was presented by Dr. Cobb, but done is such a natural and understandable progression that it was like stacking building blocks – he gave us the base upon which to build freedom of movement."— Andrea Chang, Seattle, WA |
"I have done a number of workshops working for a Neurology Clinic in rehab for 6 years and by far this is the most applicable system I have seen and been taught. It relates every aspect of the human body. The quality of the materials very specific and the instructor. Dr. Cobb and all of his staff were great."—Sandra McClellan, Fridley, MN
"Z-Health has made me a stronger and healthier athlete. I'm excited to continue my training and help others have the same experience. Dr. Eric Cobb has a talent being able to teach and be personable at all times. Dr. Cobb and his instructors were all very willing and very knowledgeable at giving explaining any Z-Health question asked."—Kristine Gill, RKC, EMT, Firefighter, Seattle, WA
