Dr. Ben Lerner is America's Maximized-Living Mentor, and author of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Christian Booksellers Association bestselling book Body by God: The Owner’s Manual for Maximized Living and the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall-Street Journal Best-seller One Minute Wellness. His breakthrough strategies for total health and well-being are the foundation to his thriving local practice in Celebration and the many clinics he owns and consults for around the world.  

An academic all-American wrestler in college, he has served as physician for the US wrestling teams in six World Team competitions and two Olympiads. At seminars, conferences, and media appearances throughout North America, he shows people how to apply the four laws of Olympic success to achieve optimal health, outrageous happiness, and prosperity. Dr. Ben lives in Celebration, Florida with his wife, Dr. Sheri Lerner. He is the proud father of Skylar,  Nicole, and Cael.         

Dr. Ben's passion for Maximized Living is rooted in personal tragedy: he watched his father die at the age of 52, and his mother suffer a stroke shortly thereafter. In the midst of these traumatic events, he realized that his parents’ poor health was not the result of a single problem—instead they needed to eat better, exercise more, be less stressed, and manage their time better.

It was this quest for a holistic approach to sustainable health—maximized living—that propelled Ben Lerner, first to major in nutrition and psychology at the University of Albany in New York, and then go into Chiropractic at Life University in Marietta, GA. In Chiropractic he discovered a proven pathway to build health instead of merely treating disease.

Seeing hundreds of thousands of patients from all over the world over the last 15 years, he’s witnessed firsthand the frustration of his patients as they tried their hardest and yet failed to make the lifestyle changes they so desperately desired. His compassion for his patients propelled him to develop the attainable, step-by-step methods that are found in his ground-breaking books and the cutting edge care found in his centers.

His Center in Celebration, a prototype for Centers For Maximized Living world-wide, specializes in spinal reconstruction and rehabilitation, scoliosis correction, and nutritional testing and treatment for both children and adults.  The particular focus is on serious cases that have not found help from traditional medicine and ordinary Chiropractic care.

Dr. Lippman first studied conventional medicine. She received her MD in 1973 from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. After a pediatric internship at LA County-USC Medical Center, she studied Adult and Child Psychiatry at UCLA and was Board Certified in each specialty.

Soon after, she became dissatisfied with the limitations of a purely psychiatric focus. She changed her practice from psychiatry to alternative medicine in Los Angeles in order to address the whole individual. That was 30 years ago.

Dr. Lippman is referred to as a medical resource in books authored by Suzanne Somers: Ageless, Breakthrough, and Knockout. She is also a medical resource in Jenny McCarthy’s book, Mother Warriors, and on McCarthy’s Generation Rescue website as well. Dr. Lippman is also a regular guest on TV and radio shows.

I have lived in New York City for 30 years, and so have a deep and abiding sense of this amazing city that I adore, having seen and survived more than I sometimes care to remember, including the AIDS epidemic which claimed so many. My work with depression, death and dying, grief and loss stems directly from this experience, as does my focus on substance abuse recovery and sexual addictions. I have a strong understanding of the 12-Step Program and work with  people in early recovery, and with those with more time who seek to strengthen the deeper spiritual aspects of their program.

A Gender Specialist, I am a full member of WPATH (The World Professional Association for Transgender Health, formerly HBIGDA,) a global organization of trans-care providers. I've worked with people of trans and intersex experience for almost 15 years, providing assessments, diagnoses, referrals and ongoing therapeutic support before/during/after gender affirming transitions. I interface with surgeons, endocrinologists and other professionals, providing them with letters of recommendation for hormonal and surgical treatments, as well as ongoing aftercare support on a mental health basis. I'm also a member of the American Psychological Association.

I have many years of experience working as a clinician and consultant for a private employee assistance program on Wall Street, interfacing with employees, managers, and their Human Resources across the globe — I'm well-versed with the grief, fear and trauma arising from downsizing or the threat of it, while being faced with decimated departments and added responsibilities and hours.  Many are faced with difficult decisions about the current job, and my wish is that any decisions are made from as clear a mind as possible.  As well, I have a certification in life coaching, which is quite useful when working to seek such clarity and support change.

Having a deeply spiritual commitment to myself and others, I explore, study, and utilize various meditational and  contemplative techniques — sometimes called "mindful awareness" among other things — in my own life and in my therapy practice. I have privately studied Celtic Shamanism and Jungian dreamwork, and have a certification in Consciousness Studies from The Monroe Institute in Virginia.  For many years I have been working with other professionals in research and development in what might be termed  "paranormal phenomena"   — and have written and published in this area.

Danny Nalliah (born 1964) is an Australian Christian evangelist pastor and young earth creationist. He is the leader of Rise Up Australia, a prayer organisation, and the President of Catch the Fire Ministries. Danny Nalliah successfully defended a law suit commenced by the Islamic Council of Victoria under Victoria's Racial and Religious Tolerance Act and was awarded damages. In this landmark case, along with his colleague Daniel Scot, Nalliah was found not to have incited hatred under Victoria's then-new religious vilification laws. He has also been a candidate for the Family First Party. He was previously associated with the Australian Christian Churches.

Nalliah was born in Colombo, Sri Lanka. He was raised in a strongly religious family, and rose through the church ranks from youth leader through to becoming a pastor. He married in 1987, and his two children were born soon after. He continued to preach in the more remote regions of Sri Lanka until 1995, when he and his wife moved to Saudi Arabia. He spent two years preaching Christianity and attempting to circumvent the official ban on the religion in the Muslim state. However, in 1997, he decided to move to Australia and founded his own evangelical organisation.

After moving to Australia and founding Catch the Fire, Nalliah traveled extensively, preaching to congregations in a number of countries.
