About Jody
Bio
Born and raised in New York City, Jody Jakob finished university(at night while driving a yellow taxi during the day) in the United States and went to London, U.K. to study at the British School of Osteopathy.
Since 1979 I have been practicing continuously and have given over 150,000 consultation.
I continue to see patients, but also do mentoring for other healthcare professionals all over the world
I'm passionate about
Taking care of your body.
Exercise
Nutrition
Dealing with stress.
Getting a good nights sleep,
And helping people and motivating people to take care of themselves. Encouraging people to take care of themselves as if they were somebody that they were responsible for.
An idea worth spreading
I am on a mission to help people understand that your osteopath is part of your healthcare team along with your GP, your dentist, and whatever health care, professional keeps you in tiptop shape, and helps you out when you need some help.
The TED story
I came from a humble background and discovered that I wanted to help people. My parents didn’t have the money so I went to university at night to do the courses I needed to get into the British School of Osteopathy in London
Being a taxicab driver, has helped me to be a better Osteopath
After over 40 years, I’m still passionate and curious and more motivated than ever to help people deal with their aches and pains and stresses of life.
I’ve had eight children who have helped me to understand the meaning of life and my purpose in life
I know have three grandchildren. Hope to have more and believe that family and our social network is one of the most important things that we can do for our health.
