Richard Sawyer

Richard Sawyer is the author of the Optimal Health Foundation Program, a highly-acclaimed health speaker, and consultant to health practitioners.

Richard was struck down suddenly with debilitating chronic fatigue syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis at the same time at the age of just 35. With 4 children and a busy practice to run, his life came to a grinding halt. Everything he had learned to that point – even as a health professional – failed to help. He returned to research his condition, found the cure, and became even more passionate about helping individuals and families achieve and maintain optimal health. Not content to stop there, he has developed educational programs to help others make optimal health real in their lives.

With one of the largest chiropractic practices in Australia, Richard has encountered patients with almost every condition known. More and more it became apparent that the real solution for most conditions is not to treat the condition but to make the person healthy. A healthy person does not suffer from sickness; so rather than treat every condition, he took the approach to make people healthy instead. It worked. Thousands of patients later, it was no longer a theory but an established principle. The testimonials from his patients are remarkable.

After working out the principle, the real challenge was how to make it real in people’s lives. This educational framework was tested and tested until all of the most common causes of people losing their health and becoming sick were documented.

Richard’s message – that you were born to be healthy, and optimal health is your birthright to reclaim – has changed the lives of thousands around the globe.

Highlights from Richard’s extraordinary career include :

  • Graduating with a physics degree and working as a research scientist with the CSIRO
  • Three years traveling the East to study natural ways to health
