THE INTEGRATIVE MENTOR

About Dr. Ben

My Dream is to Help You Live the Life You were Born to Live!
~ Ben Brown MD: Life Style Change Specialist and Advocate for Your Original Wholeness

For the past 3 decades I have studied and tested the best of ancient wisdom, modern science and common sense. I have combined them into a simple, effective and practical approach to help you live the life you were born to live – regardless of who you are and the outcome you want.

My extreme hunger for Truth was born on the war-torn Thai-Burma border. I witnessed the brutal intensity of life in a war zone and could not make sense of it.  I began journaling and meditating, seeking Truth from what experience was showing me. I began studying the various wisdom traditions and sat in front of teachers and read ancient texts. I dove deep into the growing fields of integrative medicine, behavior change, and positive psychology. The combination of these sources and this intense hunger birthed a model that makes up the core of the maps, principles and practical tools I share.

    Welcome to those of you who serve others and want to live your dreams.

    I specialize in helping mission-driven people close the gap between their their current reality and their best self.

    There are three types of people that find this site: the dissatisfied, the desperate, and the inspired. What they have in common is that they all want to live the life they were born to live in service to something bigger than themselves.

    I am grateful for those who desire to live for something bigger than themselves and come here for support and answers. What they have told me are the maps, tools, and principles that I share help them sort through the confusing noise of the world and make sense of lifes challenges. I am grateful that it also saves them time, money, and helps them serve others. 

    It is possible to fulfill your purpose and have a tremendous impact. You can become more whole by living the life you were born to live and it can be fun. 

    To your dreams becoming a reality,

    Dr. Ben
