Ph.D., CSP (Behavioral Medicine)
AZ, USKeynote Speaker, World Class Musical Performer, Motivational Speaker, Medical Expert...providing unparalleled health & wellness training, inspiration, motivation, and a life-changing event!
Dr. Max Stanley Chartrand, Ph.D., CSP, is a professor of Behavioral Medicine, Chair of doctoral research committees, and Keynote speaker at professional and consumer conferences worldwide. As a profoundly deaf individual, he utilizes a cochlear implant and assistive devices for communication. He speaks about self-efficacy, overcoming obstacles, and reaching human potential no matter the odds.
In 1994 he was honored with the hearing health industry's highest worldwide recognition, the Joel S. Wernick Excellence in Education Award. In 2020 He was named to Who's Who in America. He holds six advanced degrees, and is one of the most published authors in the medical and healthcare field, with his work featured on ResearchGate.com and more than 22,000 websites today. He serves or has served on committees and advisory positions in the
- Council on Nutritional & Environmental Medicine
- International Hearing Society
- Society of Behavioral Medicine
- World Congress of Positive Psychology
- American Tinnitus Association
- Better Hearing Institute
- Audiology Online.
He is a world class virtuoso musical performer on the saxophones and clarinets in several symphony orchestras and jazz bands, and is known for starting keynotes with a stunning song before uttering the first word. He just returned from Japan where he was featured keynote speaker and musical soloist on a national program, the first profoundly deaf individual in history known for such a feat. He includes a live concert of some of his astounding music in some of his lectures to demonstrate not only the power of music but the potential for everyone, no matter the barriers encountered in life, to reach up and achieve more than they would have ever expected.
His topics range from achieving success, exceptional motivation, leadership development, human development, overcoming chronic diseases, such as Alzheimer's, diabetes, breathing disorders, developmental delays, etc.
Dr. Chartrand believes that society has lowered expectations of individuals and created a sense of learned helplessness and victimology. It is time for people to take charge of their lives, including their mental and physical health, love to serve others, and reach their full potential. He awakens and inspires everyone to reach higher, and make it a better world for the ones that come after.
Being profoundly deaf and a virtuosos musician and accomplished and well published scientist and author, he knows what it takes to beat the odds and to change lives, and for more than four decades of doing just that, he vows "to keep going until the world recognizes the value of every human life and the goodness they bring to an otherwise hostile world."

Verified @gmail.comComments from parents who attended a series of motivational seminars designed to help families overcome learning disorders without behavioral modifying drugs. -"Once our sons realized the reason they are behind their sisters academically is because of differing patterns of brain development that they will outgrow in time, it was like a light came on in their heads! Their self-esteem zoomed upward and wow, you should see them attack their schoolwork now! Thank you!" -"When we saw your program several years ago when our son was 8 years old, he had just been forced to go onto Ritalin. He was two years behind in reading. After your program we realized the key was taking him off caffeine, changing his diet, and taking piano lessons. He became a different boy-attentive and respectful and engaged in life! He is now 11 years old and at the top of his class. Thank you so much for showing us a better way!" -"Our children were all diagnosed with high lead levels that affected their development. We had no idea there was a way to remove the lead from their bodies and resume normal development. We are definitely going to do what you suggested!" -"We brought our three teenagers to your program, and want to thank you for helping them see the value of their education at this important time in their lives! Our 14 year-old son, who never liked to study, is bringing his books home and studying like he's never done before. The television is hardly on now, because they are either studying, practicing music, or involved in an activity. It has made such a change in our home! You inspired us!"

My husband suffered from tinnitus for so long it was part of him. It kept him on edge, difficult to be around, and interfered with communication. Now, I have empathy for what he is going through, and understand that the edgy, angry fellow sitting next to me doesn’t have to be that way. Already we are seeing changes in personality and in our relationship. His blood pressure has been reduced so much he’s off his meds. Life is so much calmer now.” • For sure, we learned a lot of new things at your seminar! We had no idea that under every condition are underlying causes that have been ignored by conventional approaches, and that by addressing those—in this case, hearing loss—we can resolve the problem. Thank you for a stimulating evening!” • “I had no idea that my tinnitus was what was keeping me awake—it was to the point that I ended up spending most nights in my easy chair in the living room in front of a television, because I could not relax enough to fall asleep and stay asleep. Now, with the knowledge I gained from the MTM program I fall fast asleep and stay there. My tinnitus is so soft nowadays I only notice it only in quiet.” • “I’ve had my tinnitus since I was in my 30s. Since this then, I’ve had 3 stents, and later open heart surgery. All this time my tinnitus has grown worse. Trying what you recommended has softened my tinnitus to the point I hardly know its there, and I’m off almost all my medication. Getting this information has changed my life!” • “You cannot imagine how the ringing in my ears has driven me to distraction! It was everything I could do to focus and concentrate. Now, I can relax, I no longer hear the ringing. I had no idea it was such a simple thing to take care of. Thank you!”

Wow! This was exactly what my wife needed to get her life back. After wandering around getting diagnosis after diagnosis and still not knowing what is wrong and what we need to do to fix it, you hit some nails on the head! Today's medicine--expensive and sophisticated in the process of managing disease--falls short in the healing department simply because they are trying to fix things that only our body's immune system can fix. Thank you for shedding valuable light on a most important topic!
