OUR TOTAL WELLNESS PHILOSOPHY
Bio-tique’s basic philosophy is based on the concept that wellness, as it pertains to complete well-being and health, is a blend of different areas of a person’s life and immediate environment.
Wellness is about self-empowerment and pursuing the passions of one's life that enhance the core essence of the individual. The state of health influences occupation, friendships, social involvement, and self-worth. A lifestyle of wellness produces a positive attitude toward self, others, and society in general. It is a willingness to learn and experience new ideas in order to establish a positive mindset toward an unfinished life.
Wellness is about training the mind to acknowledge only positive attitudes, thoughts, and beliefs while revising and reframing self-destructive or negative ones.

Joseph Brown
Founder
The inspiration behind “Bio-tique” stemmed from our Founder, Joseph’s own life experience.
Joseph was born in Louisiana and raised in Texas. He joined the military at the age of 18 to see the world. While serving his country for 6 years in the US Navy as a corpsman, he was fascinated with the various healing practices of so many different cultures.
After 6 years, Joseph was stationed in beautiful San Diego, CA, where he finished school and founded a very successful medical device company.
As so many can relate, maintaining his own personal health and well-being took a back seat to everything else. “Work hard – play hard” was his motto and his way of life at that time. This all came to a screeching halt in 2015, when he was surprised to learn of a diagnosis of lymphatic cancer.
Joe was blessed to have the unwavering support of his family and friends to beat cancer within a year. However, the chemotherapy/radiation treatments left him extremely weak and confused, causing a hurricane of depression and anxiety. In 2017, he decided to make some major life changes. After two years of using solely traditional methods of treatment and recovery, with almost non-existent results, he decided to return to learning and experiencing the best self-healing alternatives.
After discovering such life-changing results, Joe wishes to share his experience working with these technologies and methods, creating an experience of self-healing on the deepest level to benefit others on their personal journey.
