About Maximized Wellness in Edina
I've been delivering Applied Kinesiology (i.e. AK-the premium blend of best-of-the-best ancient and modern natural approaches to well being) oriented care promoting pain free living, supporting high level performance artists, world class athletes and those who can appreciate wellness based aging optimizations in the Twin Cities since arriving here from Michigan in 1977, armed with 2 years training in teaching and working with AK, 4 years teaching Yoga Breathing, interiorizing one's attention, asanas and Meditation and 2 years practicing the then nascent art of Rebirthing Breathe-work.
After extensive additional studies in homeopathy, electrodermal (EAV) screening, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda (i.e. the life sciences of India as taught by Deepak Chopra, my mentor, and others), Bioenergetic Psychotherapy, Applied Clinical Nutrition and Functional Medicine, AK based emotional stress releases and more I've found the simplicity behind the complexity. My approach is now: simplify the selection from amidst a myriad of possible ways to help you, apply what we find and then monitor our results on each visit. The results are often mystifyingly profound. See my testimonials for some sense of what I mean.
I believe that health is among our most valuable possessions. And while I generally meet people after they’ve lost their health, my commitment is two fold to the elite and savvy health seekers I serve, all of whom are choosing to make a personal financial investments in their well being:
1. Relief Care
When many people seek care in my office they have one goal: relief. So that’s where I start! Using my unique tests we determine where you are starting from and then begin to change these findings with high visit intensity. I'll see you 2 or more times a week. We may just stop here because you already have the relief you sought. For those with more complex needs we'll begin an initial series of intensive visits. Obviously relieving your main complaints is our prime priority. However, in addition I have several other obligations to you:
- Uncover the underlying causes of your health problems
- Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible and thorough enough to have a good chance of success
- Offer ways you can participate in your recovery
- Explain and demonstrate the value of post-symptomatic wellness care to remove epigenetic corruption that ages you too quickly.
Here we can work to:
- bring your blood values into the no need for prescribed meds range;
- support your internal environment to resist cancer, diabetes, heart disease, strokes, mood problems like anxiety or depression, bi-polar or PTSD;
- put your body weight control back in your hands;
- remove the risks for senility, Alzheimer's;
- avoid hip and knee replacements and most of everything else that emergency crisis care might rescue you from, if someone doesn't assist you in avoiding or reversing them naturally and safely.
2. Wellness Care
I encourage my patients to achieve the highest level of health they can imagine any one having. Through educational opportunities (like this website), I hope to communicate the value of keeping your genetic expression at its peak, your day-to-day fun at its highest and you enjoying the pleasure of real prevention that produces a well version of your genetic potential and actually prevents disease from ever occurring.
My desire is to see my practice members abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model, where you invest the ounce in prevention and you save the system from buying you a pound of cure.
Of course, if your body house is in a burned out emergency call the fire department-you need and want sickness care right now! The next day you will probably want to replace the axes and heroics that saved you from a complete fatal burnout with a new team who, instead of wielding the fire hoses and pickaxes of emergency medicine, carry the tools of electricians, carpenters, masons, sheet rockers, etc. Isn't clear that restoring our body-houses to wholeness is a very different task than preventing its untimely demise by a fiery burnout that surgeons and trauma specialists can prevent, isn't it? The science behind the one doesn't work in the context of the other but they do have their respective roles to play. Who would really want to crash and burn before heading off the suffering, anxiety and uncertainty that often accompany a major illness? No insurance covers the pain and suffering of you and your loved ones that I've yet seen.
You’re the Boss
Regardless of your health goals, please understand that I see myself as merely a servant. You’re the boss! It’s your body, your quality of life and your future on the line plus your time and financial budget all mixed together that determine what is the right approach for you now. If we start and your first 3 visits are all we do for now that's fine too. Maybe some other situation will arise, circumstances will shift or priorities get moved about by life and you will be relieved to have a safe haven to turn to for shelter from the storm of a health crisis too scary to treat medically alone or beyond medicine's formidable reach. My job is to offer you the finest integrated natural care possible, and it’s up to you to decide when and how much of it you want.
