One deep breath | Ben Ahrens | TEDxBushwick

Suddenly, diagnosed with late stage Neurological Lyme Disease, Ben Ahrens spent the next three years in a constant up-and-down struggle, trying to rid himself of this crippling illness. His eventual success led him to make discoveries that would revolutionize the way he views health and now approaches life. Ben Ahrens grew up in New York City, received his early education at the Rudolf Steiner Waldorf School, and graduated from Pennsylvania’s Lafayette College with a B.A. in Philosophy. He then began his professional career working with athletes and post-rehab patients as a corrective exercise and performance enhancement specialist. His weekly newspaper column, “Fitness Matters” in the East Hampton Independent and his directorship of East Hampton’s popular children’s summer surfing camp, earned him a reputation as a strong advocate of health and fitness. Now he is the Executive Vice President at Innovative Medicine where he dedicates himself to improving healthcare through the advanced application of quantum physics to medical science. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
