Our Story
For 12 years we operated a live-in health retreat where we offered patients a controlled environment: healthy food, complete medical care, fitness training and lectures based on the latest scientific evidence.
During those years we learned a lot about what worked and what didn’t in helping someone make lifestyle changes stick.
Today, the philosophy behind our books, talks and programs is a result of these key learnings:
All change is self-change
Experts telling people what to do is not effective for long-term change
Most people most of the time don’t care enough about their health to significantly change their behavior — until they start to lose their health
Most people make lasting change one small step at a time in their own community with a local social network
Behavior change works best in local small groups
A desire to look better is a much stronger human motivator than a desire for better health
While working in Bangladesh for a year during college, Sid saw first hand the results of preventative medicine. Although his career took him down the Fortune 100 computer company route, he never forgot what he learned overseas. It’s due to that year in Bangladesh that Sid decided to trade his life of success for a life of service. Sid is passionate about the role he thinks preventative health will play in future of our nations health care system.
