Does the state of your health impact your wealth?

Jo Formosa, Ayurvedic health practitioner, would say so. Jo is partnering with GeniusU to launch Health Dynamics online - a course that combines your personality type, with your body type, to give you a personalized path to health. 

What were the first steps towards realising this personalized path, and how can you achieve your true health?

Step one: Something has to change

In 2014, Jo was running her health clinic in Brisbane - but it was costing her time, money and energy, without a great deal of success. 

Feeling burnt out, Jo was gifted a ticket to the Fast Forward Summit in Brisbane - a business accelerator program, run by futurist and social entrepreneur Roger Hamilton. Jo went on to become a part of the Crystal Circle - Roger’s high-level mentoring group for entrepreneurs. 

“I needed to change something but I didn’t know what. Roger told me I should shift my business online, to free myself up from paying rent. I ignored him until I lost all of my practitioners. I remember Roger saying, ‘You won’t listen to me, but maybe now you’ll listen to the universe.’ And I did!”.

Jo started attending more Fast Forward Summits and began moving her business online. Rather than selling her time, Jo was charging for value through online courses and products. She developed a range of products, as well as creating Health Dynamics 360 - a 7-day, self-guided, online detox program and a 28-day, coach-guided, detox integration program, which provides the community and personal connection that so many of her clients desire.

Step two: Mind-Body Connection

It was at one of these events that the Health Dynamics Test was created.

“I was having lunch with Roger, and he had this massive download. He was talking about different elements within the Wealth Spectrum, how each person has his or her own profile, and it made me think of the body profiles we use to guide people towards health in Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, linking the two for the first time. 

We immediately saw the symmetry. Roger asked me questions about Ayurveda, and we came up with the concept for Health Dynamics, with 80 different profile types.”

Over two years, Jo has co-created 2000 pages of content, explaining the 80 different profiles, and has leveraged the Wealth Dynamics brand and Health Dynamics, to reach an even broader client base. 

“Usually I have to explain Ayurveda, but since we’ve launched Health Dynamics people know me as ‘Ayurveda Jo’! We’ve made a complicated concept easy to understand - at Fast Forward Summit, we got 500 people to understand it, in just 10 minutes. With Health Dynamics, we’ve created a program where you can learn what’s good for you to eat, what’s good for your lifestyle - to get your stress, body shape and health under control - and we’ve linked it all to how your mind works”.

Step three: Finding the right community and creating a network

Jo realized that strong Partnerships take things global.

"We’re teaching people the education process and certifying practitioners through Health Dynamics, as we scale into different countries, so that we build a network, that is also an ongoing platform for education, as we learn more about health practices from around the world.

We will have Health Dynamics clinics around the world, physical spaces, set up by practitioners globally, so clients can have their practitioner there, but are also part of the global community. 

We will also continue to run online programs with facilitators, together with our DNA testing, consultations and health retreats.

In this structure, both the practitioners and patients are looked after - so the practitioners don’t get burnt out, and the patients are truly valued. 

It gives them huge amount of growth to be a part of a bigger network they can learn from, creating a collective doctor intelligence.”

Just as your body and mind are a set of interconnected networks that rely on one another to stay healthy, so can a global network of health practitioners and patients learn from one another to create a new level of health.

Jo believes everyone should have their own personalized pathway to health - what steps can you take towards your best health today?

The Health Dynamics microdegree will go live on GeniusU in November.
