Tell us about yourself
I’m Dr. Gary Epler, and I discovered a rare inflammation lung disease called bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP or Epler’s Pneumonia. It’s inflammation of the lung, and almost Epler Health, Inc. provides products and services to improve people and businesses worldwide. These products and services are based on the Eplerian Life Philosophy.
Always treatable with anti-inflammatory steroid medication. I was able to teach doctors worldwide how to diagnose and treat the disease, so I was no longer needed. I’m grateful to make this contribution as this discovery will continue to improve the lives of patients with BOOP and their families for years to come.
After this, I wanted to develop a way to improve the lives of millions of people, and I made this discovery in December 2019 based on functional MRI brain science. It’s called the Eplerian Life Philosophy (ELP), which is “know who you are moment by moment.” This means knowing where you’re thinking from. Learn to limit thinking from the head stress center to less than ten seconds. Think from the heart with kindness and giving. Think from the mind with courage and creativity to solve problems and help others. It forms the basis of people being their true authentic selves enabling them to live a life filled with high energy, optimal performance, enjoyment, positive experiences, and extraordinary people.
Epler Health, Inc. provides products and services based on the Eplerian Life Philosophy, including the zero-stress program, the extraordinary life program, corporate consulting, the Good Thoughts Podcast, social media posts, and health books.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Developing the Eplerian Life Philosophy that will change the world. Imagine people all over the world living with zero stress allowing them to think from the heart with kindness and giving and thinking from the mind with accomplishing innovative products to make people’s lives easier and improve people’s lives all over the world. There have been more than 1.5 million social media and Quora views of ELP posts and articles about how to have a life of optimal health.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The hardest thing about being an innovative business owner is the thousands and thousands of rejections day after day. This is because ground-breaking, innovative are hard for people to understand at first and to realize the massive positive impact on people’s lives. This takes persistence, patience, and a long, long time. But, if successful, it’s worth every hour, month, and year.
The typical lifestyle of an entrepreneurial innovator is a life filled with rejections, failures, and sometimes a negative cash flow. Innovators have failure after failure but also have extraordinary international successes. Innovators are not discouraged by failures. These failures provide the energy to try something new. Being a trial-and-error person is filled with enormous risk and entrepreneurial fear in exchange for an exciting and invigorating life.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
This first tip is to “do it” and “start it.” There is no need for too much talk and too much planning. The second is to have a trial-and-error mindset. You try something, but it fails. You try again, and it fails. You try again and again until you get it right. When you get it right, it’s going to be an innovative product that’s going to be used by billions of people all over the world! The third is the hardest – you can’t do this by yourself – you need to find someone or a team you can trust that will have your back the whole way.
