MY BODY PASSPORT™

It’s all about organizing our health information.

• Not only your health information — but also those you care for and love.

• Paper based booklet - not an app.

• Your information about your body.

• It’s your body, numbers about your body, records about your body - you should have access and the ability to share this information as you desire.

“It makes me feel a little more empowered about my own Health…because I had everything written down (in my Body Passport) I realized why she (my Doctor) was concerned about some things”

Janet M. Taylor (MBP user since 2018)

• The Classic (2nd Edition)

  All your information in one place for when you need to communicate to your health care team.

  One afternoon, I answered a phone call from a friend… “I am heading to the ER, please meet me there”.  Upon arriving, my friend was already admitted, and, considering the situation, he was understandably medicated with morphine.   Within minutes of arriving, an assistant walked into the room with a pile of paper work, and asked us about his family history, about his current meds, about his personal surgical history, and I realized … I don’t know and I can’t help…. also he doesn’t know and he can’t help.  If you have ever had a conversation with someone under morphine, you know that you are not going to get very far with these types of question. While this was happening, I thought,

  “Ok these questions are being asked to give my friend the best care under his condition, so the doctors need to know this information, but there is no way he is going to remember or be able to tell me and, even though we are good friends, I don’t know this information.” 

  “This is nuts. This is crazy, How often does this happen?”

“…the lack of confusion and the clarity…brings peace”

It helps your keep track of things so that when your doctor says, I want to do this test…you can keep track and also be proactive and make a note to yourself.

The My Body Passport™ is a simple and satisfying personal record of your body's history and current condition, a place for all those hard-to-recall details.

• The ADVENTURE

Take this with you every day. I keep this in my client bag, my everyday bag or whenever I go out of town, because I have certain allergies and I let people know, “Hey, I’ve got this in my bag, just in case.”

‘‘If anything happens to you me, you’ll know who to call, if you need a first responder, show them this (the Adventure), and they’ll know exactly what to do”.

Why make a first responder guess? They can look at your My Body Passport Adventure and see…what supplements, what medications, you are on, history of seizures, chronic illness,

I travel on my own quite a bit and I have this with me. There’s a real peace of mind knowing that should either something known or unknown occur, you have the information that a health care provider would need to know to give you the best care.
