Dr. Ben Lerner is a world-renowned physician, multiple New York Times & Wall Street Journal best-selling author, former U.S. Olympic Team doctor, and founder of Maximized Living, a national health and wellness organization that has helped to transform 250,000 lives and counting.
Born in Queens, New York in 1966, Ben was welcomed into a family riddled with health problems. Many of the men were overweight and plagued by high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Ben’s father, Marvin, was no exception and passed away from a heart attack at the young age of 52. Ben’s mother, Dorothy, had a stroke at 49. It was assumed that Ben would follow in their unhealthy footsteps, but he went in the opposite direction.
In High School, Ben discovered his love for wrestling, a sport that he continued to participate in upon his entrance into The State University of New York at Albany. Although the rigorous weight training routine kept Ben from becoming overweight, he still suffered constant injury and illness due to poor overall health. After medical treatment failed to help him overcome his health problems, Ben visited a local chiropractor and to his surprise, his health improved immediately. “That visit was a revelation for me,” says Dr. Ben. It was at that moment in 1987 that Ben decided to change from getting his medical degree to getting his Chiropractic degree.
By 1991, Ben had graduated with two degrees, one a Bachelors in Nutritional Science and the other a Doctor of Chiropractic. He founded one of the largest clinics in the world - the Lerner Family Chiropractic Center, based in Kissimmee, Florida. He became a U.S. World Team Doctor in 1995, an Olympic Team Doctor for the Atlanta Olympics 1996 and continued in both capacities through the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
In 1999, Dr. Ben co-founded Maximized Living, a national health and wellness organization fueled by his strong compassion to help people suffering from the same illnesses that he witnessed in his own family, and also by his genuine desire to educate the public on the many benefits of living a healthy, stress-free life.
Over the past fifteen years, Dr. Ben has personally seen hundreds of thousands of patients all over the world. At one point, his patient count was more than 2,000 patients in a one week period. Since 1994, Dr. Ben has co-founded more then 40 clinics throughout the United States and has advised more than 2,000 chiropractors in the U.S., Canada and Australia on the principles of Maximized Living. Approximately 300 of those consulted have become Maximized Living Providers, and 87 clinics have become certified Maximized Living Health Centers; cutting-edge clinics that provide patients with educational tools and advanced health care based on the 5 Essentials of Maximized Living.
Dr. Ben is the New York Times & Wall Street Journal best-selling author of multiple wellness books, and his message of health continues to spread through numerous seminars held each year across America and Canada.
