Marquette, Michigan (February 7, 2011) – Maximized Living doctors, Dr. Ben Lerner (founder) and Dr. Fred Roberto, will host a peak performance workshop to elite athletes and coaches this Thursday, February 10th, at the University of Northern Michigan Olympic Education Center.

The first Maximized Living workshop, The Five Essentials to Peak Performance, took place at the U.S. Olympic Education Center (USOEC) in November 2010. Thursday's follow up workshop will focus on Maximized Living’s Weight Optimization Plan that has been in development for the past several years. Maximized Living is a health care delivery system dedicated to changing the way people view and manage health from the inside out. It consists of a network of chiropractors located nationally and internationally that promote whole health through five essentials including mindset, chiropractic care, proper nutrition, exercise, and reduction of toxins. Maximized Living’s sports division, the Wellness Advisory Council, partners with USA teams to help team members reach maximum athletic potential by integrating the five essentials into their performance.

Maximized Living partners directly with USA teams that are weight class oriented (including USA Judo, Weightlifting, and Wrestling), and it is critically important to Maximized Living’s mission that the athletes they work with approach their weight loss appropriately. Traditional methods for weight loss have not only compromised performance, but negatively affect the overall health of the athletes as well. Dr. Roberto and Dr. Lerner will be teaching a natural weight optimization system where athletes will eat their way to lighter weights, remain hydrated, preserve muscle mass, maintain strength, and most importantly, stay healthy. The ultimate goal of the workshop is to teach athletes how to become the strongest and best athletes they can be in the lightest weight class without comprising their physical healthiness. “As former wrestlers, we are eager to help revolutionize the way athletes drop weight,” states Dr. Roberto.

The U.S. Olympic Education Center, located on the campus of the University of Northern Michigan, is the only Olympic Training Center dedicated to both training athletes for the Olympic Games as well as providing them with an option to continue their education. Since its establishment in 1989, more than 25,000 athletes, coaches and officials have participated in its programs and have collectively won more than 100 Olympic medals.

Maximized Living is looking forward to educating the students and plans to have a lasting impact on the athletes during their most competitive years as well as those that extend beyond their sports careers.
