About the Founder

Dr. John Baker is a Chiropractic Physician, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) Exercise Trainer whose work has been shaped at the highest levels of human performance.

Over the course of his career, he has worked with athletes ranging from developing competitors to Olympic hopefuls and Olympic Gold Medalists, as well as World Surf League (WSL) athletes—including Championship Tour World Champions, Big Wave World Champions, and winners of the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational.

 

Working in these environments exposes something most people never see:

Even the most elite, conditioned bodies in the world still break down. Not from lack of effort… but from the cumulative demands placed on tissues that must absorb force, transfer energy, and continuously adapt under load.

 

It was within this reality that Dr. Baker began to recognize a gap:

Most recovery products were built to quiet discomfort—but did little to support the actual tissues responsible for movement and performance.

Catalyst Cream was created to address that gap.

Rooted in biomechanics, tissue physiology, and real-world performance demands, it was designed to support recovery at the level where adaptation actually occurs—within muscle, fascia, and connective systems.

This is not a product built in isolation.

It is an extension of clinical work, field experience, and years spent helping high-level athletes continue to perform when the cost of breakdown is no longer theoretical.

Dr. Baker’s broader mission is to help people restore the way their bodies were designed to move—so they can train, compete, and live without unnecessary limitation.

Catalyst Cream exists within that mission:

For those who expect more from their body, and refuse to step away from the life they’ve built around movement.
