Eliminate (not “manage”) Stress Damage & Lower Healthcare Costs Up to 50% With Optimal Health Foundation’s Innovative Breakthrough

A new organization offers a solution for people suffering from stress and offers hope for companies struggling with run-away healthcare costs. The Optimal Health Foundation introduces a breakthrough methodology to eliminate (not “manage”) stress damage - America’s #1 health challenge.

“When you look at the dollars lost, it is clear that eliminating stress damage is the single greatest opportunity to lower healthcare costs and simultaneously produce healthier employees,” states Robert Simon Siegel, MS, Executive Director of the Optimal Health Foundation. “Our solution introduces a new dimension: lifelong skills for optimal health.”

About Stress Damage
Accounting for over 50% of healthcare costs, stress damage affects every internal organ, weakens the immune system and disrupts job performance. Stressed people more easily get colds, flu and cancers. Stress slows the healing of illnesses. Stress severely impacts diabetes, sleep, concentration, depression, anxiety, hypertension, morale, obesity, decision-making, ulcers, headaches and relationships.

Statistics of stress damage:
·75% - 90% of primary care doctor visits are stress-related. (American Institute of Stress)
·50% of absenteeism is stress related. (European Agency for Safety & Health – USA workers)

Healthcare costs increase exponentially as stress symptoms develop into illnesses and then into major organ deterioration. Stress is a degenerative condition. The longer the body is stuck in stress, the more damage occurs.

Additional monies are lost by repeatedly paying to treat, but not fix, the same stress-related conditions. That ‘repair’ approach is obviously not cost-effective. Without fixing the problem of stress, costs won’t decrease and people cannot produce optimally.

HEALTHY PERFORMANCE Keys to Optimal Health
The OHF solution is HEALTHY PERFORMANCE, a training program of three innovative skill sets to better operate the mind, body, emotions and personal energy. The result is optimal health, optimal functioning and the ability to thrive with change. HEALTHY PERFORMANCE trainings help companies produce healthier people. Healthy people need fewer medical services, are less absent, focus more clearly, make better decisions and therefore surpass past job performance. These unique skills are lifelong, which means returns on investment that increase with time.

Stress reactions can now be turned off as easily as a switch with today’s most important optimal health skill, the “Six Second Calm On.” This long-awaited stress remedy stops the entire fight/flight chain reaction before stress damage can occur - faster, safer and less costly than pills. Six Second Calm On rapidly restores four major body systems to healthy calm and optimal functioning. Once learned, anybody can de-stress within six seconds while driving, walking, talking and computing. People can multi-task for greater health by quickly turning on their own healthy calming mechanisms as needed. All persons can now benefit.

Thriving Solutions Focus teaches people the ‘genius focus’ - how to innovate solutions from stress, problems & change. Meetings are streamlined. With this method, life improves at work and at home.

Vibrant Energy Health teaches skills to recharge personal energy for greater immune strength.

Optimal Health: The Missing Half of the Health Spectrum
“The solution to the healthcare crisis must include this new dimension: effective skills people can use to achieve optimal health and optimal human functioning. Without these skills, there is no genuine exit strategy from re-shuffling the increasing costs of illness and disease. Ultimately, the best guarantee for lower healthcare costs is to decrease the need to utilize medical services in the first place - by producing healthier people - not by cutting benefits. Producing optimal health provides the necessary complement to the medical model’s focus on reducing illness, symptoms and disease. Our method can help companies achieve this healthier position and lower premiums,” states Siegel. “Optimal health is a major part of the innovation needed to lower healthcare costs. It’s been the missing half of the health spectrum.”

Two questions drive the quest for optimal health.
1. “How healthy can people become?“
2. “What tools, knowledge and practices get us there?”

A New Understanding of Stress
HEALTHY PERFORMANCE brings a new understanding of stress that has immense value for the people of organizations that struggle with the challenges of growth, economic pressures, daily customer service demands as well as juggling personal issues. Like the ringing bell of a telephone, “stress” is simply the bio-perceptual signaling of our innate biological guidance system to successfully navigate change.

We pick up the phone call and stop the stressful phone ringing by applying the Six Second Calm On. We answer the call with the mental tools of the Thriving Solutions Focus to create solutions and innovative responses to change.

For individuals and for organizations, the real benefits come through promptly getting the message of change. As a guidance system, stress dissolves once it has completed its communication purpose: to successfully navigate change. Numbing our perception of the signal with medications and alcohol won’t stop the stressful phone ringing.

“Wisely addressed, stress and its $300 billion annual workplace costs could be quickly transformed into a sizable asset,” Siegel states. “Important health benefits can result by correctly utilizing this positive purpose of stress because, for all biological life – always – the key to optimal health is the ability to successfully adapt, navigate and prosper with change.”

As a system, the three skill sets of HEALTHY PERFORMANCE provide a foundation for optimal health, innovation and thriving with change. They may well be today’s most relevant, essential health skills.


“Starting with the elimination of stress damage, Optimal Health Foundation goal is to provide a comprehensive range of optimal health skills.” Robert Siegel states: “We are looking for companies and insurance carriers serious about lowering healthcare costs and ready to gain the benefits of an optimal healthy workforce.”
