Have you ever experienced a health crisis?
All of your familiar, day-to-day routines of your life are completely lost and your life’s focus becomes one thing: getting back your health.

Even health-conscious people have habits that negatively impact their health, due to a lack of awareness. This workshop teaches you how to identify those habits and make simple, but effective adjustments based on the latest medical science.
This workshop covers a broad array of topics, including:

The Health Optimization Workshop (HOW) Level 1 introduces you to techniques on how to prioritize health creation as a daily lifestyle practice.Primarily, this workshop answers questions such as:
- Do our current lifestyles and social compulsions fuel chronic non-infectious diseases and if so, what are some simple solutions?
- What are the laws of wellbeing and how can they can support our individual and collective spiritual growth?
- How can you make optimal health an immediate reality rather than a remote and distant possibility?
When we treat lifestyle, we treat the root cause of chronic, non-communicable diseases, as opposed to treating the superficial symptoms of disease. This workshop will explore current and ancient systems of wellness maintenance for practical solutions to attain a balanced lifestyle.
