Today we’d like to introduce you to David Thedinga
David, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Our paradigms are formed very young when we’re young, naïve, and powerless. We go to the
doctor with our parents and form a programmed connection. They’re unconscious connections, so they’re rarely updated or evaluated. Most significantly, we assume they’re 100% accurate even when they’re not. In a paradigm shift, we have to unlearn and relearn. It’s the only way.
Healthcare is headed towards a cliff:
Our family had many health concerns and issues where conventional medicine did not have a solution that we felt comfortable with. Doctors just wanted to prescribe drugs or invasive procedures and didn’t provide feedback regarding the root cause of issues. We were very interested in healing and decided to take our health in our own hands and explore alternatives that could help us. We found them and got incredible results, many other families have too.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The trouble is it’s expensive to go outside the
health insurance system. We spent thousands and thousands of dollars out of our own pocket to work with non-conventional practitioners.
Our healthcare system is heroic and valuable, but there’s no room for diversity in medicine.
There are a lot of situations that healthcare and health insurance are very effective in handling,
and great pharmaceutical advancements, but there are things that are missing. I love what
doctors do and how they’re trained, but we want them to think about how they’re
collaborating with others outside their fields. We believe there should be a multifaceted,
holistic approach to healthcare. We want to give like-minded people access to diverse care
options, including conventional medicine, that they don’t have now.
We are an early stage company beginning the process of competing with a juggernaut in Big Pharma and the sickcare system. We have raised money and have begun the process of selling our products and services, but it’s a lot of work. The demand for natural and holisitic medicine has never been higher…though education and building trust takes time.
I am super proud of our team and the progress we’ve made…this will be a journey, not a destination.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Tikvah Health and Wellness?
In the realm of healthcare, transformation doesn’t come through convincing opponents or enlightening them; it often takes root as established models gradually fade away, making space for a new generation that naturally embraces a different approach.
At Tikvah Health and Wellness, we are dedicated to two fundamental objectives:
Empowering individuals, families, and businesses to grasp the available alternatives for addressing the inefficiencies and high costs associated with traditional health insurance and other medical cost-sharing communities. We provide a Tikvah community-based platform that harnesses the advantages of both natural and conventional medicine, delivering authentic care and pragmatic solutions. We can facilitate and better replace health insurance offerings for individuals and enterprise companies that align with our community values and ethos.
Moreover, our commitment extends to delivering a life-altering healthcare experience. We assist individuals in shedding outmoded and ineffective thought patterns that have become ingrained in their interactions with the medical system. We guide them in reacquainting themselves with the essential principles of health and wellness, enabling their transformation into their best selves.
Our Vitality Score Program is the first of it’s kind.
It is a comprehensive health and wellness solution designed to provide detailed insights into your current health status.
It includes:
Initial Consultation: Personalized discussions with healthcare professionals to understand your health goals and concerns.
Medical Symptoms Questionnaire: A detailed questionnaire capturing your medical history and current symptoms.
Lab Work: Diagnostic tests analyzing key health indicators for early issue detection and proactive planning.
Body Composition Analysis: Evaluation of body composition to create personalized fitness and nutrition recommendations.
Final Consultation: A session to review results and offer actionable insights and recommendations.
Value of the Vitality Score:
Prevention: Early identification of potential health risks.
Assessment: Provides a clear picture of current health status.
Benchmark: Serves as a baseline for tracking progress.
Follow-Up Opportunity: Ongoing support for maintaining and improving health.
We see the Vitality Score and development process impacting the cost of insurance for individuals and companies alike.
66% of employees are desiring to see alternative medicine coverage on their health care benefits, we’re giving them what they want. If employers want to acquire and retain some of the best talent they’ll benefit from offering benefits that employees want.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
Part of this is investigative work. Just because we’re innovative in this country doesn’t mean that’s the healthcare we need. Revenue in the pharmaceutical industry has never been higher, but collectively our health has never been worse.
At some point, people reach a threshold; they’ll find something that doesn’t line up and want an alternative. And some things that aren’t seen as health needs that should be. We are adding voices; we’ll have a steering committee that can get people what they need. To make a change, you build on what works and incrementally add on other approaches. Things that make sense should stay the same.
Society is always ripe for change, but it’s about timing. Post-COVID, everyone is more health conscious than before COVID. We have to be intentional about finding innovators and early adopters. We have to get people to question what they believe and why they believe it and be open to the fact that it might not be 100% true.
Health and wellness are much more mysterious than we ever imagined, and what we have now is a sick-care model. What we’re developing is a parallel system, and I predict people are going to get healthier because of preventative care, and there will be people in the other system that stay static. Most Americans aren’t going to be able to take this in overnight. Through education, though, we’ll start to make a shift.
The opportunity here is huge.
