About Dr. Erickson
Hi, my name is John Erickson. Many years ago I was given a calling: to build, organize and motivate men and women to give their best service to their God. That is my goal. I seldom list my formal academic credentials because, honestly, simply having letters after your name doesn’t mean you actually know what you are doing. Don’t get me wrong, having an education is important, but I have met so many health workers (people working in the health field) with their list of credentials and they are obviously NOT healthy. I almost think that it discredits me to have had a formal training. Yes I have a degree in alternative health. Yes, I have been and am licensed in practice health in several states. Yes, I do have the letters to put after my name, but the thing that qualifies me most to teach about health is that I have done the wrong things in the past. I have been there, done that. So I know what it is like to be scared and scarred. I know what it is like to have my marriage hanging by a thread because of health stress. I know what it is like to have my hopes and dreams crushed by my own stupid decisions or by not knowing what to do. That qualifies me uniquely to treat, to teach and to love hurting people. The other huge qualifier is that I used the principles I teach to personally build my health. I have lived the principles that I share with others. The treatments that I give, the things that I teach are not theory—they work!
But the teaching credentials that I am most sure of and which further qualifies me is the thousands of stories of people across America being set free by these principles. This stuff simply works. So don’t take health (weight loss) advice from an unhealthy person.
