About the Author

Ernest J. Brake, DMin, is the author of The FULL POWER Plan: Unlock Nature’s Formula for Optimal Bodymind Vitality and founder of the FULL POWER Centre for Bodymind Vitality.

For more than three decades, Ernest has helped individuals and communities pursue healthier, more purposeful lives through speaking, counseling, strategic planning, nonprofit leadership, and community health outreach. That experience shaped the FULL POWER framework, a practical system that helps people strengthen the daily habits and conditions that support long-term health.

FULL POWER is distinctive because it connects lifestyle medicine with personal growth. It helps people address lifestyle-related risk factors while also strengthening the mindset, motivation, relationships, purpose, and daily choices that make lasting change possible.

Through his writing, seminars, and programs, Ernest also helps adults and professionals in their 50s, 60s, and 70s take realistic steps toward better blood pressure, healthier blood sugar, greater energy, clearer thinking, and reduced chronic disease risk. His approach is educational, practical, innovative, evidence-informed, and hopeful.

Ernest earned his Doctor of Ministry from Andrews University, studied psychology at the University of Waterloo, and is currently pursuing PhD studies in lifestyle medicine.

Ernest lives in Parksville, British Columbia, with his wife, June.
