If you are sick of being sick or you’re sick of pharmaceutical drugs and their side effects, and you think that this is all there is for the relief from illness and disease, please listen…I promise to make this as short and to the point as possible!
I want you to read this book for free if you have ANY worries about any of the above or the effects of growing older.
If your trust in the western medical model is waning or is less than 100%. I need you to know there is another way, a better way. Our western medical model is great for addressing acute injury and can do a lot to get you out of pain for the short term. Still, it fails in the area of chronic disease. Pills and medications can treat symptoms, but they all have side effects that can cause more trouble later on.

My name is Garey Simmons, and I am a holistically trained integrative nutrition health coach. I studied functional medicine through lifestyle with the nation’s most gifted healers, MDs Medical Doctors, and NDs Naturopathic Doctors. I’ve helped thousands of people improve their health by suggesting a few changes to their lifestyle and nutrition.
But do you want to know something interesting?
Just a few short years ago…
I was diagnosed with very High Triglycerides and fit the description of having metabolic syndrome. Rarely spoken about in doctors’ offices but is pervasive in this country. In short, I was ripe for heart attack or stroke, like many Americans…
It’s true.
I was 53 years old at the time. After serving as a missionary in foreign lands for 30 years, I needed to make changes for my health and the needs of my many children! (I have 10 kids, 5 girls, and 5 boys.) You can’t just have a bunch of kids and then run off, have a heart attack, and leave this earth. We have responsibilities here. Agreed?
Then one day, almost by accident, I discovered a secret way of taming my high-risk factors in an easy decision and adopting a regimen that has served me to this day. And it only takes 30 seconds a day!
In fact, with this secret…I got hooked on a journey allowing me to coach and help folks like me. Of course, along the way, I took many natural holistic health courses that backed up and bolstered my beliefs in adopting the proper practices. Why do you think Navy Seals train and train before being deployed to danger zones? They are building habits and rituals that allow them to do difficult things immediately, and impossible things take a little longer.
If you have yet to notice, our Medical System is now broken.
Here are some complaints about the medical profession:
Now every business has its challenges or steep overhead costs. The medical system has grown to be an unquenchable money suck. The best an MD can do once in practice is to try to alleviate pain and suffering using prescription medications. That’s their shortcut!
Do you think doctors have time and want to teach you how, when, and what to eat? How to exercise? How to destress your Mind and your life?
Medical doctors, unfortunately, die the youngest, suffer the most suicides outside of psychiatrists, and are generally not very well themselves. Is this who we are trusting with our health?
But there is a better way.
MEDS
With the advent of our ability to store and share information, it is now possible to share natural holistic health practices online for literal pennies on the dollar. Yes, some of us have chosen this as a profession. Still, you do not have to gain the knowledge to overcome these aging-induced chronic illnesses. All you need is a new lens to look through. A way to parse information.
The lens is MEDS
But it’s not the meds you take for your symptoms or illnesses. It stands for
Here’s how it works:
If you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right!
This is simply perspective: Desire, beliefs, and commitment arise from the mental state. But so does stress, anxiety, and depression! It’s chemical, yes, but these chemicals are manufactured by the body in answer to the needs the Mind perceives you need or even desire.
But there’s much more to the mental state or the mind-body and its connection.
There’s the conscious Mind, the subconscious Mind, and the unconscious Mind. How do these work together, and how do each of these affect your day-to-day health?
Ask any doctor who has been in practice for 20+ years about “spontaneous remission.”
They don’t use words like “healing,” but that is what it is. Spontaneous remission is an unexplainable turnaround. It’s literally a miracle.
In these incidences, the recipient of spontaneous remission tapped into something the rest of us may be unaware of. If we are willing to learn and explore, isn’t it possible that others can get similar results?
There is much more to share about this first quadrant. But if you get your Mind state right, then Exercise, Diet, and Sleep fall into place.
Look at it this way,
Your Mind, body, and spirit reside between the two worlds on the dotted line. Our beliefs arise from our databanks of events you’ve recorded since inception. Even in the womb, you have hard-coded programs within your DNA. This is your genetic inscription. Our internal programming governs the results we see in our physical bodies and the outside world.
Herein lies the secret to abundant and optimal health.
You can follow any diet, choose to exercise or not, and try to influence sleep with pills and potions, but nothing will change working from the top down. You have to work from the bottom up. You have to defy the forces of gravity with knowledge. Awareness is the first step on the path to optimal health.
What are your options?
You can try to find a competent Naturopathic Doctor. But it will cost you. Insurance rarely covers visits to alternative care practitioners.
You may try to find a medical doctor trained in functional medicine. There are 50 top docs in the nation. They’ve trained another set of dedicated, pragmatic, skilled physicians, but they are still challenging to locate.
I want you to imagine waking up when you are 80 years old, and for your birthday, you are at base camp under Mount Kilimanjaro. Your goal is to celebrate the turn of the decade at its peak. You are at your peak, ready to scale to the peak!
Do you get a picture of what’s possible? Here’s my friend Werner Berger who did precisely that in 2017.
Contrast that with My dad, who was on oxygen in his mid-sixties… Can you see the difference in outcomes?
So, imagine yourself at age 85, attending your great-granddaughter’s graduation from college. Helping to celebrate a third generation by your presence, fully able to celebrate, mentally and physically.
Your 60s, 70s, or even 80s don’t have to be endless medications, endless doctors’ appointments, and endless days of boredom because you are homebound and unable to drive a car anymore, needing a walker to navigate from room to room.
Can we agree we’d instead paint a rosier goal for our futures?
Suppose you get started today, even just 15 minutes of study and implementing new, accessible, not complex practices. In that case, you will be a sought-after “guru” among your circle because you know something your peers don’t.
If you need a more glaring picture, consider your parents or aunts and uncles… What’s their health like? Is that the outcome you are fearing? It doesn’t have to be. Not by a long shot! Your friends will be begging you for advice on how you do it!
Here’s the goal: If you are on prescription medication, we’ll show you how to improve your health to the point it may not be needed any longer. Many drugs are given as stop-gap measures. As busy as they are, doctors will see their prescription is not working as effectively and add another. It’s all too common for the medical community to get you started on one prescription; before the year ends, you are on three or four. A few years later, you could be taking up to 10 medications and suffering so many more symptoms. No one doctor can figure out what is causing those night sweats.
The problem with that approach is similar to the check engine light coming on in your car. You can go to the garage to find the cause or take a piece of black tape and cover the light. Medications mostly try to turn down the signals your body gives you that something is wrong.
The classic example is to give a cortisone injection to relieve back pain. Then you feel so great you decide to be more active and add a more severe injury to an already injured area. The band-aid, in this case, causes more severe damage and adds months to the recovery. The original cause of the injury needs investigation and treatment from a physical therapist or a chiropractor to heal the injured area rather than just covering up or masking the pain. There is a cascading effect; unfortunately, this is how the medical sick care system thrives. Because you never see any true healing, just infinite masking of symptoms.
In MEDS, we’re looking at the long-term goal of substantially changing your health with the short-term view of making small changes on a routine basis. The journey to the top of Mount Everest starts the same, with a single step.
We’ll dispose of and eliminate myths surrounding our sick-care system, which are in place purposely to keep you coming back for more. More pills, more consultations, more specialists. Keeping you well is NOT the goal of the medical system. In fact, you being healthy would eventually bankrupt today’s medical system. For example, after 13 years of living this kind of lifestyle, thankfully, I take no prescription medications, none. Knock on wood.
Here’s the short list of goals: Any one of these is worth the price of admission!
This is really a program of re-education…
To really learn the material in this program, you’d have to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on university & research. But now you don’t have to. It’s all done for you.
How much does the MEDS program cost? Download the book for free. In the book, I’ll introduce you to a companion online course that is also free. So, do you really have anything to lose?
