How do I start my journey
to MAXIMUM HEALTH?
You must have your own Primary Care health provider.
You must start by having your own Primary Care health professional. That means a Physician, Physician’s Assistant, or Nurse Practitioner. This is to be certain that you can get all necessary medical testing, evaluation, medications, and specialist referral if needed. Your Primary Care professional will give all specific evaluation and medical advice. Remember: to start the road to MAXIMUM HEALTH, you must determine your HEALTH STATUS. From there you can work with your Primary Care professional to integrate the SELF-REFERRAL/MAXIMUM HEALTH knowledge with your healthcare provider.
Remember: the SELF-REFERRAL/MAXIMUM HEALTH program depends on combining several new components of medical care with ALL of Modern Medicine. It is not a “replace medicine with something else approach – we seek to optimize all available medical care to moe toward MAXIMUM HEALTH.

Everyone Wants Health - But Where Do We Start ?
Whether we are healthy already or facing health challenges, everyone wants health. We want to get up every day feeling rested. We want strength in our body with a sense that we are ready to go. We want to think clearly and plan our activities effectively. We take all these things for granted until we can no longer say they are true.
Our health can become lost, like seagulls in the distance. We know we need to start finding our health, but how do we start? And how do we know the path to take?
Health Coaching is something that everyone can use in a very practical way. That is the purpose of this Website – to provide Health Coaching that you and your health professional can use to optimize your medical care.

It is way better to think ahead and create health than just to do nothing and duck disease when it appears. As in archery, you hit your target only when you aim well. This Website is to help you gain a broad, wide-angle view of what you can do to move toward MAXIMUM HEALTH.
Make a Conscious Choice
to Move to MAXIMUM HEALTH
The first step is to realize that you have a choice in your future health. Wherever you are in the spectrum of health – from trouble free to facing major health challenges – you can still make choices now that will improve your chances for future MAXIMUM HEALTH – but this will require that you take action to determine your HEALTH STATUS – and it will requite you to take responsibility for your choices and lifestyle to move toward MAXIMUM HEALTH. You must decide whether you will remain passive and just take any health or disease that comes your way – or if you want to fight to improve yourself and move toward MAXIMUM HEALTH.
You must get a current evaluation of your health. Once you know your Health Status you can proceed with a concerted effort toward MAXIMUM HEALTH in the following way:
Deal effectively with all health conditions found through your Health Status evaluation. Record all medical conditions and exactly what you are doing about them. It is critical that you periodically meet with your healthcare provider to monitor each condition and check your general health. Fully comply with your health professional’s advice on follow-up visits, medications, diet, exercise, and other factors. If you are healthy with no conditions, continue to see your healthcare professional at least once a year or more often as they direct.
Learn Transcendental Meditation as soon as you can. TM is proven to be the most effective cure for the stress of modern life. Multiple research studies prove that TM improves the majority of common medical conditions. The reason why is that TM restores the brain’s SELF-REFERRAL, opening the path to move toward MAXIMUM HEALTH. Accept no substitutes like Mindfulness or other meditation techniques. TM will produce the full range of positive health effects you need.
See an expert in musculoskeletal diagnosis and therapy. The ideal route to take is to have a D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathy) as your Family Physician. That way you can deal with the same health professional for your medical care as well as musculoskeletal care. The D.O. will evaluate your posture, discuss any musculoskeletal problems you have, and proceed to treating you to correct bone and muscle imbalances. This work removes large amounts of deep-seated stress to allow your body to achieve advanced healing.
Work with your healthcare professional to determine your ability to exercise. Medical research shows that exercise will improve everyone’s health who is able to do it. Exercise can range from a steady walk four times a week to more vigorous exercise, depending on your physical ability to do it. Always see your healthcare professional and obtain clearance for any exercise program you want to start. Be cautious, start modestly, and do not push too hard! There is nothing more unwise than hurting yourself trying to get healthy!
Work to optimize your weight – especially if you are seriously overweight. Get direction from your healthcare provider as to what your weight should be for your height and age. Never start any diet or other treatment for weight loss without obtaining clearance and instructions from your healthcare provider. Weight Watchers has an excellent program that is healthy, easy to learn – and it delivers excellent results. Key is not to try and lose too much weight all at once. Go gradual and easy does it !
Changing Your Lifestyle Correctly
Will Move You Toward MAXIMUM HEALTH !
Establish relations with an expert in Maharishi AyurVeda. Getting your physiology in balance is critical to achieve MAXIMUM HEALTH. You must get accurate evaluation of your body type and physiologic balance. Once all that is known, your professional will give you complete assistance with daily routine, diet and exercise specifics, and ways to monitor your own physiology to assist your progress. Adjusting your habits is easy when you see powerful improvements in your health – and those improvements will come quickly as you apply what you learn. Maharishi AyurVeda is the perfect way to pull all your health-building work together and optimize SELF-REFERRAL to achieve MAXIMUM HEALTH!
Cultivate a Faith-Based Life. Explore your religious background thoroughly. Pray for God to guide you. Just go somewhere alone and talk to God in the way that is natural to you. You will find He always listens and will respond. Put aside time to read Scripture on a regular basis. Treat this like school – read the Scripture and keep a written journal of the notes you take as you study. There is great depth to be found there and you need to master it. Go to services on a regular basis. You will hear teaching that backs up and supplements the learning you are doing with Scripture. Finally, get involved with small groups who are part of your faith. The friendships you will find will greatly enrich your life and this is yet another learning experience. The interesting thing is that God will use everyone – the clergy, the members, and most especially you. As you integrate your spiritual experience with the rest of your life, you will grow. You will go from an inner life of restlessness to one anchored in peace and moving you toward MAXIMUM HEALTH.

All you have to do is read the pages, one at a time. Take pictures of it. Take notes on what is taught. Read it out loud to yourself or others to make sense of it. Discuss it with your friends. Take the information to your doctors and discuss it with them.
