Strategies for Investing in Your Health: A Personally Tailored Approach to Reducing Risk for Diabetes and Heart Attacks

American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson first coined the phrase in 1860 that we often hear and may even personally use, “Health is Wealth”. While we spend considerable time strategizing on, developing, and executing our estate or financial investment plans, we often omit consideration for health in those strategies. The good news is that there are considerable gains to derive by investing in health even if you start late. Remarkably, you can use the age-old strategies investment experts apply to manage wealth, to manage your health portfolio as well.

Join this workshop to learn how to apply proven wealth investment strategies to better manage your health. Use low-risk, high return on investment proven techniques to prevent disease, enhance wellness, and improve longevity.
