HIPPOCRATES LIFESTYLE AND NUTRITIONAL EDUCATION

As a Hippocrates Health Educator student, you begin your training in our 3-Week Life Change Program. Seminars & conferences in the Life Change Program are given by experienced Hippocrates professionals, while evening activities feature local health professionals. During these three weeks, you are taught the fundamentals of the Hippocrates nutritional program and explore related supportive practices. You will also detoxify physically, mentally, and emotionally, and recharge in preparation for the weeks that follow.

The following six weeks of the program provide an integrated health program presented by established accredited professionals, all related to the Living Foods Lifestyle. There are two tests during the course: a mid-term, covering the Core Program, and a final comprehensive examination, covering the dynamics of the specialized conferences and lectures, in-depth trainings and the assigned readings. Evening hours and weekends are reserved for reading, study and project work.

PERSONAL LIFE OR BUSINESS PLAN

Having a tangible written plan is essential to clarifying, monitoring and achieving your goals and dreams. At the beginning of the course we discuss the essence as well as the critical elements of a successful and usable plan. Throughout the course you will create the personal life or business plan of your choice with weekly support from the directors of the program.

PERSONAL DISCOVERY & DEVELOPMENT

As a student you will be faced with the spiritual challenge of "walking your talk," as well as understanding your relationship with yourself and the significant life changes that a decision to become a Health Educator presents. Discoveries are abundant on all levels during your Health Educator experience, as you detoxify and recharge physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. As a student, you explore and expand perceptions of yourself as an individual worthy of actualizing personal life goals and leave the course with the confidence, clarity and focus to reach your goals and live a fulfilling life. Classes that create awareness and elevate consciousness include Art therapy, Phsychoneuroimmunology, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Aromatherapy, Positive Thinking, and Counseling and Coaching, all of which provide regeneration and balance for the body, mind and spirit.

One of the greatest gifts of the Hippocrates Health Educator Program is the insight you gain into your personal preferences and dispositions as well as your life’s purpose. It is our commitment that you graduate with a greater understanding and knowing of yourself as well as what it is that you need to move to the next level in every area of your life.

PURPOSE AND HISTORY

The Hippocrates Health Educator Program was developed to provide an extensive learning experience about the practice and teachings of the living foods lifestyle. It is designed to provide you with the necessary fundamentals from which you can successfully live the lifestyle and educate others about it. While the cornerstone of the Hippocrates Health Educator Program is an education in living foods nutrition, the program also provides students with a concise introduction to complimentary therapies and related disciplines that are essential for a healthy and well-rounded approach to life.

This multi-disciplinary curriculum attracts students from around the globe who, in a short but intensive nine-week-period, come to embody the basic principles of the living foods lifestyle. Graduates leave with the knowledge and confidence to make the living foods lifestyle a permanent part of their life. It is a gift to dedicated individuals who want to share the possibility of a natural, healthy lifestyle with a struggling human population. The program affords you and a wide variety of conscious people, from many backgrounds, the opportunity to experience the benefits of this lifestyle firsthand. Some participants are health care professionals such as therapists, nutritionists, nurses, psychologists and physicians, while others come from non-health related fields; all students, however, share a deep regard for health and nutrition.

The original concept grew out of the personal vision of Brian Clement while he was directing the Hippocrates Health Institute in Boston in the early 1980's. The present program, with its home in West Palm Beach, Florida, has expanded from its modest beginnings into a unique opportunity for those interested in pursuing an alternative health care profession, or to improve personal health and help family, friends, and clients.

Since its inception, this program has graduated students from twenty-seven countries. As a result of their enhanced levels of self-esteem and awareness, most of the graduates have become increasingly directed and vital people. Many have created or become involved in nutritional counseling services, fitness centers, sprouting and organic farming businesses, and a wide variety of other fulfilling and humanitarian causes.

These life enhancing sessions are offered every year, featuring some of the most formidable teachers in the world of alternative care. Times are changing and the medical and insurance worlds are beginning to recognize the effectiveness of complimentary healthcare and the many natural avenues to increased vitality. We now invite you to become a part of this legacy.


HERE’S WHAT SOME OF OUR GRADUATES HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE HIPPOCRATES HEALTH EDUCATOR PROGRAM:

Being a naturopath, I wasn’t “new” to natural health when I attended the Hippocrates Health Educator Program, but this program brought a great enrichment to both my personal and professional life. It gave me a deep insight into living food that has not been surpassed because, despite the many books I have read on the subject, it enabled me to experience first hand the Hippocrates Life Change Program for two months, leading to a new me, more confident, more positive and willing to create the life that truly meets my deepest beliefs. Claudine Richard, Naturopath – Fall 2003

My blood is flowing with inspiration as well as wheatgrass! After a few days of confusion, it became clear as to how I was going to marry my profession as a speech therapist with the program, specifically teaching caretakers how to promote a healthy lifestyle for children with communication and learning challenges. The Health Educator program put me in touch with my passions in life, fed my thirst for knowledge and gave me plenty of hands-on learning. I recommend this program to anyone who has benefited from the 3-week Life Change program and wants to take it further or others who want to start to find their passion in life. Laura Newman – Fall 2002

The Hippocrates Health Educator course was a life-changing experience. The course allowed me to better understand and follow the Hippocrates lifestyle on a daily basis. I received a large amount of information on many different approaches to natural healing and am now able to relate this information to others in a professional manner. During the course I experienced a lot of holistic growth and made lifelong friends with the other students and instructors. I also let go a lot of past issues and negativity. I am now on a path where I can focus on my own well being and help others to improve their minds, bodies and spirits. Tom McKean – Fall 2002

"I left the Hippocrates Health Educator [Program) a different person, it changed my life and I will never be the same. The knowledge and experience gained from the program is unmatched by any education I have ever received. My mission to become more balanced mentally, physically, and spiritually was achieved through the living food lifestyle at Hippocrates. The encounter at Hippocrates was unforgettable and exceeded my expectations." Samantha Bryant - Summer '99

"This course has laid the groundwork for me in so many ways, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, as well as physically, to be able to carry out and carry on with a business and a lifestyle that will truly sustain me. I can't begin to express my gratitude for what you all have accomplished here. It is an honor to be a part of it!" Debora Robles-Summer '99

"I can remember a time when I thought having a car or money was the most important thing. Spending six weeks with a dozen of the most incredible people I have ever met has changed that. I don't care so much for what I have, I just want to make sure that I'll share it with the right people ...This program has changed my perspectives forever, and that's the greatest gift anyone could ask for." Ludovic Brunel - Summer ‘99

Before attending the Health Educator program, I thought I knew a great deal about the holistic health arena; having been an eager participant since the early 1970’s. These years of work proved to be a foundation ...for the intense amount of new information I have been privy to during ...the Health Educator Program. Here, I experienced teachers of the highest caliber ...The variety and the quality of the program format has truly deepened my understanding of the commitment involved in achieving my sought after `radiant health.' I highly recommend the program to anyone who shares this commitment to achieve true health for themselves, their families and their community. Renee Ferry - Summer ‘98

"The Hippocrates Health Educator Course is phenomenal. The benefits are deep and [they] worked on all levels of my life. My goals of both education and emotional enhancement have been more than met. Thank you…for this great growth experience. This is the best of the best, becoming even greater." Brooke Peterson - Summer `99
