Creating a Culture of Wellness

Each one of us knows someone who is suffering from or has died from one of the killer diseases. Over 4000 people per day are dying from cancer and cardiovascular diseases in the United States. During the past year, I have had my share of family and friends that have suffered, are suffering, or have died from illnesses related to these two causes.

Though I am saddened by this, it has strengthened my resolve.  If each of us would only adopt a few vital behaviors, we could greatly reduce a lot of unnecessary suffering and early death.

My vision is the creation of a culture of wellness in our homes, our workplaces, our institutions, and our communities. Culture is defined as the ability to pass on learned information. In a culture of wellness, we will pass on our learned vital health promoting behaviors to our children and loved ones. Therefore, creating a culture of wellness is simply the ability to pass on the behaviors that rebuild and renew the body’s cells for nine decades or more.

Massive problems require a community of influencers working in concert to solve them. You can help me partner with these influencers by recommending people who have influenced you – people you truly respect. These influencers are people who are committed to serving others, who are willing to adopt vital behaviors for improving their own health and personal economy, and who are willing to encourage others to adopt these behaviors for the good of all.

I am willing to meet with the opinion leaders that you recommend and train them, if they are willing to join our influence community. Please provide their names and contact information with the best time to call them.  Also, send them a introductory note with this message and let them know that I’ll contact them soon.
