Hippocrates Wellness

What Hippocrates Wellness does

Hippocrates Wellness is a privately held 501(c)(3) nonprofit wellness organization operating from a 55-acre tropical campus at 1466 Hippocrates Way in West Palm Beach, Florida. Founded in 1956 by Ann Wigmore in Boston as the Hippocrates Health Institute and later rebranded and relocated to Florida under co-directors Brian Clement, Ph.D., L.N., and Anna Maria Gahns-Clement, Ph.D., L.N., the organization has operated for nearly seven decades delivering residential lifestyle medicine programs built around its proprietary Hippocrates Scientific Living Plant Based Nutrition Protocol and an integrative stack combining Lifestyle Medicine, PsychoNeuroImmunology, Swiss Biological Medicine, and BioEnergy Field Medicine.

The core commercial offering consists of two immersive residential programs — the 21-day Life Transformation Program and the 28-day Comprehensive Cancer Wellness Program — delivered on-site alongside accommodation, organic enzyme-rich plant-based cuisine grown on the campus Garden of Vegan, comprehensive health testing via the Vida health center, and daily lectures and therapies. Supporting service lines include the Oasis Therapy Center (massage, acupuncture, colon hydrotherapy, EMDR, psychotherapy, NLP) and the BECOME Organic Salon (vegan hair, skin, and nail services). The company earns revenue through program fees, accommodation, therapy and salon services, retail (LifeGive supplements, clothing, books, equipment via store.hippocratesinst.org), content (Healing Truths Podcast, 153+ episodes; Healing Our World quarterly magazine), and the Nuro-Size online subscription at $9.99/month distributed via Kajabi. Pricing for residential programs is not publicly disclosed and requires a consultation; a 50% deposit secures reservations with the balance due 21 days before arrival.

Hippocrates Wellness serves a globally distributed individual consumer base — primarily chronic illness patients, cancer patients and survivors, and prevention-focused health-conscious individuals — with dedicated booking flows for UK/Europe, Asia, Middle East, Oceania, and Africa. It employs 51-100 staff, holds multiple industry memberships (ISPA, BBB, Spas of America, Chamber of Commerce), and reports having transformed over one million lives across its history. Strategic clinical alliances with The American Health Institute, BioEnergy Fields Foundation, Simonton Cancer Center, and Sonnenberg Biomedical Health Center Switzerland underpin the Comprehensive Cancer Wellness Program.
