In 1956, Ann Wigmore, joined later by Viktoras Kulvinskas, embarked on a mission that would redefine the way we view our bodies and our health. They founded the Hippocrates Wellness Institute, breathing life into a belief that our bodies possess the innate ability to heal and rejuvenate themselves when given the right tools and environment.
This belief finds its roots in the philosophy of Hippocrates himself, the ancient Greek physician who revolutionised medicine in the fifth century BC.
Hippocrates was a visionary who viewed the body as a holistic entity rather than a collection of isolated parts. He advocated for a natural healing process anchored in a wholesome, natural diet.
For over half a century, the Hippocrates Wellness Institute has welcomed guests grappling with a myriad of illnesses and diseases. Some arrive as told by their conventional medical practitioners that they have mere weeks or months to live. Others come with a proactive stance, recognising the importance of detoxification to fortify their immune systems. Some seek to stall the aging process, control their weight, or simply enhance the quality of their lives.
Brian Clement, Ph.D., L.N., stands as a guiding light in the international progressive health movement, with over three and a half decades of dedicated service. Having worked alongside Ann Wigmore at the original Hippocrates Wellness Institute in Boston, he played a pivotal role in relocating the Institute to Florida in 1986.
As the director of this institution, he and his team have conducted daily clinical research, crafting a state-of-the-art program for health maintenance and recovery. The Institute’s pioneering work in active aging and disease prevention has impacted hundreds of thousands of lives over the years, providing Clement with invaluable insights into the lifestyle required to prevent disease, enhance longevity, and maintain vitality.
Among Brian’s numerous contributions to the field are books like “Living Foods for Optimum Health,” “Longevity,” and “Lifeforce,” lauded by Dr. Colin Campbell as “One of the most important books ever written on nutrition.” His latest work, “Supplements Exposed,” exposes the global pharmaceutical fraud surrounding nutritional supplements, while “Killer Clothes” educates readers about the hidden health risks in seemingly innocent clothing choices.
Brian Clement is not only a healthcare pioneer but also a devoted husband, a caring father of four children, and a grandfather of three grandchildren. In addition to his daily counselling and research endeavours, he conducts conferences worldwide, sharing the secrets to attaining health and creating longevity, providing humanity with a roadmap to enriching and extending their lives.
Anna Maria Gahns Clement, a naturopathic medical doctor and Ph.D. nutritionist, embarked on her journey as a practitioner of natural healthcare when she assumed the directorship of Sweden’s Brandal Clinic in Stockholm. Her diverse skill set includes iridology, bodywork therapy, touch for health facilitation, and nursing healthcare provision, all of which enhance her instinctive qualities.
Anna Maria is not just a healthcare practitioner; she is a trailblazer who founded the first living food organisation in Scandinavia and contributed to the unification of complementary healthcare in Sweden through her involvement with the Natural Health Care Coalition. For over two and a half decades, she has co-directed and served as the chief health administrator of the Hippocrates Wellness Institute.
Author of numerous books, Anna Maria’s works encompass a wide range of topics, from applying natural health methods for families to shedding light on hazardous clothing choices and children’s care. Her latest collaboration with Dr. Kat Powell, EdD, titled “The Power of a Woman,” offers a powerful historical portrayal of women’s contributions to the advancement of the human condition. This thought-provoking work provides a fresh perspective on how women have shaped our future.
Anna Maria takes her message to global audiences with a down-to-earth, scientifically supported approach that emphasises the importance of taking responsibility for every facet of one’s life. However multifaceted her life may be, she cherishes her roles as a devoted wife, a mother to four children, and a grandmother to three grandchildren, all of whom exemplify the remarkable benefits of the Hippocrates lifestyle.
