The Financials of Health

What is your health worth?  Can you even put a dollar value on it?  Aside from working on the inner game, there might be an inherent cost that needs to be attended to in regards of improving your health.
Going to the doctor or pharmacy and paying a $10 co-pay is nice, though you cannot allow your insurance company to dictate where and how your health dollars are spent.  This does not work; the system has already proven it to be so.
Searching for and obtaining ultimate health might require you pay some out of pocket expenses, and then self-submit.  It might also require that you purchase non-reimbursable products and services such as vitamins, personal training or nutritional services.  We recommend you check into Health Savings Accounts (HSA’s), these are a wonderful tool that helps put responsibility back in your hands as a consumer.
Keep in mind, finding the practitioner that best suits your needs should be a practitioner that gets to the root cause, not just the effect.   This might require you to fulfill a very comprehensive program that you have not experienced before. From our experience the up front costs will dramatically pay for themselves in the health that you attain and the money you will be saving long term.
