Hello !
I’m Kees Verdaasdonk!
Working in healthcare for 35 years as a physical therapist, in a wide variety of settings, I continued to witness the ongoing decline that comes with getting older, despite our so-called advances in healthcare.
It was not until I experienced severe burnout that I was confronted with a sudden and rapid decline in my own health and vitality.
This was a giant wake up call, and it forced me at the age of 58 to have a serious look at my life.
First step was to walk away from the 10-year relationship that should have ended many years prior. Looking back there were many warning signs (symptoms) along the way, but I had become a master in ignoring them, so I just kept going until I was so run down that I had no choice.
The lack of energy prevented me not only from working but also took away my ability to handle and enjoy life.
It was during this forced "time-out" that the philosophy of Optimal Health Solutions was born.
By applying my newfound wisdom, I attracted my present spouse based on a renewed level of self-worth and Self-Love.
However, at the same time I crashed physically and was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue syndrome and leaky gut.
It took several years as for me to feel better again and then…….. my wife and I got hit with covid. I lost 35lb in 3 weeks and could not even walk to the mailbox.
All the gains of years were wiped out in less than a month and thus the rebuilding began again, which took several years as my system had become stronger but still was very fragile.
Then mid 2025 I ended up with some vague buttock pain and after seeing many specialists I ended up having a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with Cancer.
The stresses of the last decades had put me for the majority of the time in survival mode and did not allow my immune system to protect me in the way our creator had designed it.
At age 65 I was ready to retire and enjoy life but instead,......... I was now standing in front of the toughest journey to date.
I knew it was a chance to clean out, to let go of all the shit, all the dis-ease(s), that still prevented me to thrive in my outer and inner life, as I always envisioned.
Looking back now, I could even see more clearly how I have kept myself stuck throughout the decades primarily fueled by a lack of self-love and self-worth causing me to make choices in my internal and external life that kept me in chronic fight and Flight mode aka survival mode.
The time has arrived as for me to move forward
and step into full THRIVE mode.
Not by being perfect. but by creating balance and
allowing myself to perfectly Being Me.
TRANSFORM YOURSELF, TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE
We are all spiritual beings having a human experience and your physical body is the vehicle that allows you to experience this journey.
Optimal Physical Health allows you not only to make the most out of this journey, but also to enjoy the ride.
The Physical Body is an expression of all that you are, but so is your career, your relationships, and that which you call home. These outer aspects are aka manifestation aspects, called your life.
Your inner aspects (mental, emotional and spiritual aspects) are at the core of what you have manifested thus far. This includes the health of your physical body, but also the health of your career, your relationships as well as the quality of the environment you reside in.
Any dis-ease in any of these 7 aspects will limit the manifestation of Optimal Physical Health as the physical body is the physical expression of all of the dis-eases that we encounter in these 7 aspects.
If any dis-ease (symptom) is not addressed at the core, it will eventually be expressed as a true disease.
Dis-ease is nothing but a lack of flow of energy. The dis-ease is the symptom, a sign from within, as the need as to restore the flow of energy, so your body can heal itself.
This lack of flow can be physical due to physical toxins that prevent the cells from functioning optimally on a bio-chemical level, as well as a lack of flow on a bio-energetic level due to mental-emotional toxins.
Unfortunately, we live in a society where we are not only conditioned to not listen to our own inner guidance, but also are bombarded with so called "instant solutions" as to just keep going.
We all adjust in our unique unhealthy ways, but often unaware that we do. This until it really starts negatively affecting our vitality, our health, relationships, career and/or our immediate environment, and thus our ability to enjoy life.
Many when they get to this point, start to feel stuck, that they have no choice, or even feeling burned out, and starting to develop health issues. These health issues can range from being tired all the time, gaining weight easily, having no sex drive, or even developing auto-immune diseases. Many start to feel that life becomes more of a struggle and are losing the ability to handle and enjoy life.
I ended up being burned out and it all seemed to happen "suddenly". However, looking back there were many signs along the way, but I did like everybody else……….I just kept going,... doing the best I knew how,.....until I could do no more. I was "forced" to take time off during which the philosophy of Optimal Health Solutions was born.
Despite my new found awareness and new look at life, another challenge in the form of a cancer diagnosis came on my doorstep in 2025. I was ready to retire but what really needed to retire were all the beliefs that I continued to held onto that had kept me in survival mode, and had prevented my body to heal itself.
I became my number one priority and not only allowing each day to unfold, but life as a whole.
Balance and trusting my inner guidance was, and continue to be, key as to move forward.
We all encounter struggles in our life but my wish for all of you is that they only may be minor challenges.
My journey now is to help others how to get more in thrive mode and preventing any disease from being manifested.
A dis-ease in any of the 7 aspects of your life, that continue to be ignored, can put you in chronic survival mode and create havoc down the road.
As always prevention is key
