Meet
Dr. Brian Alman

Driven by a passion for personal transformation, I’ve devoted my life to empowering individuals to reach their full potential.

My own journey began with overcoming debilitating back pain, which introduced me to the transformative insights of Milton H. Erikson.

This experience inspired me to create True Sage, an enterprise-level wellness program designed for healthcare professionals. True Sage offers cost-effective tools to complement existing healthcare efforts, addressing the root causes of stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction.

The challenge of
workplace stress

Workplace stress significantly impacts both individuals and organizations, posing not only personal challenges but also financial burdens. U.S. employers incur approximately $300 billion annually due to healthcare costs, absenteeism, and lost productivity linked to stress. Overstressed employees often experience burnout, disengagement, and conflicts, affecting workplace harmony.

True Sage’s corporate wellness program addresses these issues by focusing on emotional and mental health rather than just physical aspects like weight loss or exercise. This approach aims to create a healthier work-life balance and improve workplace dynamics by tackling the root causes of stress, offering transformative solutions for both employees and organizations.

I developed True Sage to provide wellness solutions for healthcare professionals and organizations. Our program offers tools addressing the root causes of stress, anxiety, and addiction. By partnering with True Sage, employers can improve wellness, reduce costs, and boost productivity.

Our personalized approach empowers patients to tackle mental health challenges using a proven, root-cause method. Grounded in clinical experience, the True Sage System reveals that many struggles stem from unresolved childhood experiences.

By addressing these foundations, we inspire lasting change. Post-pandemic, equipping teams with stress management skills is crucial. True Sage offers mindfulness programs and guidance to help employees thrive.

A complete solution for healthcare professionals

As a company, we care immensely about our customers and provide a range of wireless products and services to help them live healthy and independent lives. We feel the same commitment to our employees. It is important to me that we have one of the finest corporate wellness programs in San Diego and Dr. Alman is a big part of this program.

Adverse childhood experiences and toxic stress

How And Why Do Adverse Childhood Experiences Impact People In Their Daily Lives?

Fireside Chat With Dr. Felitti And Dr. Alman: 

Early relationships and childhood experiences play a crucial role in shaping health and well-being. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events before age 18 that contribute to chronic health problems, mental health struggles, and substance use challenges. The good news? ACEs are not destiny—they can be prevented and healed.

The ACEs questionnaire explores childhood events, offering insight into how early experiences influence health and life. With this understanding, we can reduce ACEs’ effects, promote healing, and build resilience.

A 30-year collaboration

A Legacy of Healing:
30 Years of Collaboration

For over 30 years, Dr. Vince Felitti and I have collaborated in the field of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and behavioral wellness. Our work began with the groundbreaking ACE Study, conducted with the Centers for Disease Control and Kaiser Permanente’s Department of Preventive Medicine in the late 1990s. This research revealed the profound link between childhood trauma and its impact on physical, emotional, and mental health in adulthood. Our mission focuses on raising awareness, promoting healing, and fostering resilience to improve well-being worldwide.
