My presentations are designed to change my audience’s beliefs about avoiding and reversing chronic diseases.

Solutions for Health Care Professionals

Today’s health care providers face many challenges. Over the last 30 years the incidence of chronic conditions have soared. The population is growing, aging and the incidence of disability has increased. Increasing treatment options, both pharmaceuticals and procedures, have led to an increase in preventable errors and options for patients. Keeping current is very difficult due to the increase in relevant scientific and clinical publications.

Solutions for Human Resource Leaders

Organizations have traditionally relied on medical organizations to keep their employees “healthy”. Unfortunately medical organizations have not delivered healthy employees and reduced medical costs. I believe it is important for today’s businesses to learn options that are being used by self-insured organizations such as Whole Foods Market and GEICO and non-profit organizations such as EarthSave to create healthy employees and minimize health care costs.
