Welcome to Ogden Academy
Welcome to Ogden Academy, an online learning space dedicated to preventative healthcare and whole-person wellbeing. Our approach is grounded in more than 30 years of clinical experience and over 9,000 patient case studies, supported by blinded research in hospitals worldwide showing an accuracy rating of 96.8%.
But the roots of this work go even deeper.
John’s journey began in childhood. He lived with a severe speech impediment and was almost unable to speak until the age of 21. A turning point came when he worked with a hypnotherapist who guided him back through his life—even to the moment of birth. John discovered he had been born with a caul covering his face, preventing him from breathing or crying out. When he visualised removing that barrier, his stammer disappeared.
This profound experience sparked a lifelong study of the mind, self-hypnosis, and healing. In 1967, hypnotherapy was widely used in hospitals such as Whittington Hospital for pain, anxiety, depression, childbirth and more—so John’s exploration was both personal and medical.
He then travelled the world alone for two years. In 1969, arriving in Japan by cargo boat, he discovered traditional steam bath centres where the body was honoured and understood holistically. Practitioners assessed health through the feet, hands, ears, eyes, smell, sensation—each offering a piece of the whole. This became the foundation of what we teach today: health as the harmony of the entire being.
About the Courses
No medical background is required. This training teaches lifestyle and functional wellbeing practices that can be physically measured and monitored and hopefully reversed. Health as the harmony of the entire being. To find the CAUSE of what is creating the disharmony and metabolic imbalance.
Insulin resistance is increasingly recognised as a key inflammatory driver behind many chronic diseases and can now be measured quickly, accurately, and affordably. Measuring it provides a clear baseline of a client’s health vulnerability and allows practitioners to objectively track improvement. Without measurement, there is no reliable way to confirm whether a treatment is effective.
By testing before and after any form of treatment plan, practitioners can demonstrate real outcomes, improve client compliance, and validate the effectiveness of their methods. If change cannot be measured, health improvement cannot be proven.
We begin with core foundations that are often forgotten:
We measure the overall balance rather than isolated readings. Any shift from optimal level reveals disharmony. Most imbalance can be corrected through personalised nutrition, lifestyle, exercise, and restorative sleep.
What’s Included
Each of your course fees include:
All diagnostic equipment
Software for automated interpretation and reporting
Individualised lifestyle, nutrition, exercise and sleep recommendations
Full training and support
Primary Natural Health care course
High insulin resistance (IR) increases future cardiovascular disease risk by 40–70%, and rates have risen sharply since Covid. British Heart Foundation show 12 young people die every week with undiagnosed CVD. Overall 1 person dies every 3 minutes with heart attack.
The course includes a 6 lead ECG and the equipment for measuring the IR and the individuals lifestyle number for health. 7-14 hours study to qualify and make a difference saving lives.
Our instant screening report takes between 5 - 10 minutes to complete.
*You can purchase the weight scale separately for a more exact measurement of the individuals health.

Foundational digestive markers and microbiome‑supportive protocols.
Pattern recognition, arrhythmias, and functional circulation insights.
Practical oxygenation metrics and breathing‑centric interventions.
Assessing regulatory patterns for thyroid, metabolism, and recovery.
Peripheral/visceral fat, muscle, bone density, metabolic age, body water, and BMR.
Fascia tension patterns linked to organ stress and practical relief.

We measure the overall balance rather than isolated readings. Any shift from optimal reveals disharmony. Most imbalance can be corrected through personalised nutrition, lifestyle, exercise, and restorative sleep. Where inflammation or chronic disease has already developed, additional therapies are used — and their effectiveness can be measured.
You will learn how to integrate Western biomedicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine—understanding how energy, structure, and function align and everything works together.
Qualifying in months instead of years.

Advanced - Phase Microscopy Course
How live blood closely follows ancient interpretations of Qi, Chi, energy
It's astonishing that the works and teachings from 3,000 years ago correspond with the blood images we see today using phase microscopy.
According to ancient philosophers, life and death themselves are nothing but a condensation and dispersal of Qi or energy. When Qi condenses in the ovary it creates life. When you die the Qi disperses again. Wang Chong in AD 27-97 (2,000 years ago) wrote “Qi produces the human body just as water freezes into ice, so she coagulates to form the human body. When a person dies, he or she becomes spirit again, just as melted ice changes its nature back to water.”
Illustrations of how they clearly perceive Qi closely resembles the live blood that we are looking at, by combining the two it’s incredibly useful to use the wonders of traditional Chinese medicine to explain to clients what is the cause of their symptoms. With particular reference to their Qi - their energy, health and fitness. Here’s an illustration showing how they perceive the aggregation and dispersion of Qi alongside my photos of the live blood which shows the energy the person has. One can also tie this up with their emotions.
Taken from “The Foundations of Chinese Medicine” by Giovanni Maciocia
For example: Liver and Gall Bladder - Immune System
Symptoms (not necessarily all of them)
- Heartburn, indigestion, strange taste in the mouth
- Headaches or migraines, around the temples and behind the eyes
- Eyesight issues and floaters
- Circulation problems, especially in the extremities
- Moody, liverish, not suffering fools!
- Menstrual and hormonal problems
- Neck or hip problems, sciatica, lower back pain
- Dizziness or vertigo
- Disturbed dreams, nightmares
Compare this to the full report, generated for the client.
This is usually linked into High Triglycerides and Uric acid. Acidic saliva, acidosis, dehydration, Sympathetic Nervous System dominance, high blood pressure, visceral fat etc … all is measurable and as these are trended and as they are corrected the above symptoms usually dissipate and the live blood improves and opens up.
Includes live blood analysis with a phase-contrast microscope, allowing for a unique and comprehensive health screening system unrivalled anywhere.
With just two drops of blood, taken at the same time as the screening, trained practitioners can show exactly how those ‘out-of-optimal’ results actually affect the body and are visible in the blood.
Both live and dry blood samples can be analysed and the results often provide a dramatic wake-up-call to make appropriate lifestyle changes.
Our instant screening report takes between 15 - 20 minutes to complete.
