About Me

Hello. My name is Brad Shapiro, owner and webmaster of Brads-Healthy-Lifestyle.com. This is a private site without any outside funding. Since the age of 21, about 35 years ago, I have been an instructor of health courses with a variety of institutions. My career began in 1973 when I taught the courses of the Arica Institute in San Diego, Tokyo and Honolulu. These intense programs focused on health make-overs with a cutting-edge curriculum that included exercise, yoga, stress management, meditation, psychology and health education. I am still a part-time teacher of the Arica curriculum in San Diego, California. I also worked for several years as a consultant at the Kaiser Hospital in Hawaii. Since 2000, I have been a consulting health educator at the world-famous Sanoviv Medical Institute, in their Educational Department. I was one the first American teachers of the Medical Massage System of Thailand, from 1993 until 1998. Finally, since 1995, I have been involved with the Usana Health Sciences company as a trainer, educator and product representative. My passion is helping as many people as possible discover new avenues to make their life one of greater joy and fulfillment.
