OPTIMUM HEALTH CHICAGO supports and assists individuals and groups in obtaining their goal of optimum health. We do this through workshops, retreats, corporate and group presentations, lectures, medical school and hospital presentations, and some individual consultations.

Our Main Workshops
Our main workshops are entitled, "In Search of Optimum Health," "Eight Weeks to Optimum Health" and "Healthy Aging."

These are interactive workshops, covering all ten aspects of optimum health. We usually cook together, have lecture presentations, discussions, group interactions, exercise, and mental and spiritual exercises.

These workshops are for those seeking natural health and spontaneous healing. They are designed to enhance what you intuitively know: how to be fit and healthy in a natural way, and how to easily incorporate healthy principles into your busy life. The course is for all seekers of optimum health: people who simply want to improve, cancer and heart attack survivors, people at risk (diabetes, high cholesterol), and those desiring stress reduction or weight control.
