Irv Beiman earned a Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the 1970’s. Both of his parents suffered from various medical maladies during the last several decades of their lives. Their suffering instilled in him a thirst for credible information about how to avoid a wide variety of diseases, including cancer, diabetes, stroke and osteoarthritis and fuels his desire to learn how to live our best later years. On his website, Irv describes a multicomponent method that simultaneously combines movement, breathing and intention.
