Truth, Desire, and Habit: Animating Community as Medicine.  

How often have we heard doctors deliver behavior change instructions (“Eat better! Exercise more! Reduce your stress!”) followed by something like “Good luck with that! I’ll see you in 6 months?”

For our patients who lack access to the boutique ($$) wellness industry, these kinds of “Behavioral Prescriptions” are a prescription to nowhere.

Open Source Wellness (OSW) is the nation’s first “Behavioral Pharmacy:” a democratized delivery system for the universal and trans-diagnostic behaviors and experiences that potentiate human health and wellbeing. The model leverages the power of community to animate a very simple platform: MOVE (physical activity), NOURISH (healthy meals,) CONNECT (social support), and BE (stress reduction). Adaptable to diverse populations, OSW addresses the behaviorally- and socially-mediated conditions that are driving human suffering and astronomical healthcare spending by animating clinical, community, housing, and corporate contexts as platforms for health and wellbeing.
Join us for an experience  (80% direct engagement, 20% keynote on methodology and outcomes) of the OSW Truth, Desire, and Habit human technologies, and leave ready to creatively apply the active ingredients of this model to your work your world!
