About Hippocrates Wellness
Starting in 1956, the year the Hippocrates Wellness was founded by Ann Wigmore (later joined by Viktoras Kulvinskas), we have operated on the belief that given the proper tools and environment, our bodies are self-healing and self-rejuvenating. That was a philosophy practiced by Hippocrates himself and passed down to us today from this father of modern medicine. Rooted from Hippocrates beliefs of “Let food be thy medicine”, Hippocrates Health Institute focuses on treating the body as w hole, not just a series of parts.
Hippocrates Health Institute sits within a 55 acre campus in West Palm Beach, Florida. It hosts over 86 guest rooms that are private and shared, luxury villas, exercise and medical facilities, organic garden, greenhouse and juice bar.
The Hippocrates diet consists of 80% raw and 20% cooked food to assist you in the transition from a cooked food diet. 100% raw is advised for those working to conquer disease. An integral part of the program’s success is due to the way in which we prepare the food. The focus is on maintaining the bioactive forces present in raw and live vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, grains, and legumes.

Hippocrates Wellness Reviews
I quite enjoyed everything, the schedule, the food, the juice, the community, the organic comfy bed and pillows, the educational talks, and more details. I was only there for one week, and i did feel a little confused, i wish someone would have shown me the ropes, so its not 3 days before you realize you should make a Wheat grass juice every morning and book a colonics early in the week too.
my biggest complaint was they let a family with 5 kids come to all events, a young child crawling everywhere, and some screams and cries and hogging the mineral pool like it was a resort vacation. that seemed like a money grab, and took from the zen experience i think alot of the adults would have appreciated. It was quite pricey.
Made me worse by poisoning me with Stevia, a product I listed as allergic to on my intake form!!
This grand old place has tumbled far from the top of the wellness retreats. I've been here at least 7 times over the last 20 years but this last time confirmed it was my last.
First, it's gotten incredibly expensive while the quality of the classes, lectures, and accommodations are down. The buildings have become full of mold and mildew, particularly the Yurts and the Hut. In the Yurts are moldy dirty hand weights that are completely disgusting. It's ironic that the lecture about the evils of mold takes place in the super moldy hut. See photos. To "clean" the air, there are machines that spray chemicals into the rooms, while the unclean machines have unknown gunk growing in the dispenser. Photo. Speaking of air, the rooms where the guests stay are air conditioned, but you can't control the temperature. Since the saunas are inside the living areas, and the thermostat is next to the saunas, the temperature in the bedrooms becomes EXTREMELY cold in order for the ac to cool itself to 74 degrees. My bedroom was about 65-66 degrees.
Then there's the feral raccoons who are unafraid of humans and roam around during the day. Hopefully not rabid. They get fed there, with lots of cat food put out by the shipping department, day night. Oh man, this is a lot...
It's no secret that this place is anti-vax and a believer in covid conspiracy theories. In one of Brian's lectures he's still mentions that hospitals were claiming that covid deaths were faked in order to get higher insurance payments. They are also very casual about covid outbreaks amongst employees. I personally know two of the massage therapists that had covid and worked while actively infected. One was taken out of her massage room directly to the hospital in a state of near collapse, red-faced and crying. No contact tracing or notification was done. No masks were worn.
Expect several classes and lectures to be cancelled and incorrect locations listed.
Finally, they freely use stevia in many foods and have it available for use, despite the NIH fall of 2023 study and research report that recommends against its use due to finding numerous adverse effects, including raising cholesterol and blood sugars, raising bad liver and kidney markers, and raising autoimmune disorder risk. Despite that, the food and juice here are the highlight of the program.
There are other places to go that are much less expensive and more focused on the actual food and healing. Consider the Ann Wigmore Institute in Puerto Rico, True North Health in Santa Rosa California, Optimum Health in Austin Texas, or Tree of Life in Patagonia Arizona.
Shame on them ! They are dishonest frauds that want to scam you out of your hard earned money. They practice the old bait and switch trick. They will book your accomodations as a brand new updated private villa and then at arrival drop you at a shared house with 4 other people. The intake questionnaire is not even read. I completely dehydrated and almost passed out. They aren’t real doctors. There is not one genuine employee that actually cares about your physical or mental well being. They are mere salesmen pushing their own brand of supplements. Their “core”lectures are sales pitches for their supplements or extra services. Those lectures are scheduled the same time as the few exercise classes they have. The raw food diet is not a cure for anything. Oh, you will loose some weight, but you will be starved with 2 raw, boring identical green meals a day. The diet is completely unsustainable by anyone for any real length of time. It’s ironic that it’s called the Vitality program. You are on your own, wandering aimlessly on campus without direction or guidance. The last thing you feel is vital.
Gratitude to the Hippocrates Institute, without a doubt exceptional service.
Hippocrates can truly be a life changer.
It may be the best money spent on something priceless - your health and life quality. It seems expensive, but you will be able to detox, heal, and learn the essential skills for maintenance of health. All of this in a beautiful (almost like the Garden of Eden) setting.
My two stays at this resort were wonderful.
I met many nice people, some of them faced serious health issues-but Hippocrates gave them hope and guidance for healing. Some people came for prevention, saying that they didn't want to wait until they got sick, they wanted to learn how to optimize their health before.
It is not a spa, you get some spa treatments and organic facials, but you will be exposed to much more: energy medicine, the best possible nutrition, lectures to teach you how to implement this lifestyle at home, and much more.
They have a comprehensive fitness program, aqua aerobics, yoga and a nice gym. Trust me, you will be busy doing all that fun stuff.
Highly recommended!!!
Thank you Hippocrates.
You’d think because they are non-profit they’d be caring and not try and gouge you out of every penny you have. They are not! They just want to keep your money without paying their share of taxes.
Just because they use Dr. or Ph.D does not make them a medical doctor (MD). So, if you do call them be sure to get their exact credentials and pedigrees. You’ll see very quickly they are in no position to treat your illness.
My entire experience with them was them being extremely rude and belittling with the only concern being my credit card.
Their propaganda is simple to give hope for those at the worst time in their lives and rob them blind. All while leaving the “patient” aka mark worse off than they were before they came.
The diets they will put you on will rob your body of electrolyte and nutrients. Yet, they will do nothing but count all that non refundable cash they took while you die.
And if you need proof just look at how many people were taken from their facility to the hospital or even worst died while in their care.
I also witnessed several other miraculous transformations. One woman came in elderly and in a wheel chair incapable of walking. Her legs were almost black, I had no idea what she was suffering from. In just three weeks she was out of that wheel chair and walking the grounds. She couldn't take two steps be herself when she arrived. In those 6 weeks I witnessed about a dozen transformations like this. When you see the transformation up close and personal, you know it's real.
I am writing this review so many years later after seeing several one star reviews. What most people don't understand is that your emotional and spiritual health are often times more important then what you're putting into your body. People expect miracles but miracles can't happen if you're living in a constant state of emotional and spiritual toxicity.
The body just will never be able to heal no matter how much medicine and super foods you pump into it. Even if you go into remission, if you don't fix your emotional and spiritual state, the disease will find it's way back. What this place can do for you is real, but 99% of the healing starts with you and ends with you.
When you leave Hippocrates they can't hold your hand, you have to follow their recommendations and continue the program for life. This isn't a miracle overnight cure, you must work the program religiously in all facets of your life.
Your disease didn't happen over night. It's a build up of years of toxic air, toxic food, toxic chemicals etc etc. Yes there are those cases of people being genetically predisposed to illnesses, but the vast majority of illnesses come from what we put into our bodies, what we put on our bodies and the thoughts we let poison our minds.
To understand just how real this place is, you can research the work doctors like Dr. Esselstyn are doing to reverse heart disease. Very similar protocols, the only difference is that you have to start the protocol yourself whereas Hippocrates gives you an amazing jump start and an educational crash course essentially awarding you a metaphorical Phd in nutritional and healing.
I am very passionate about Hippocrates because I saw the life changing work they do with my own eyes and experienced it with my own body. They started me on my own health journey back in 2008 that led me to opening up one of the most popular plant based restaurants in the United States, "Plant Based Mafia".
Give this nutritional lifestyle a chance no matter where you are on the health spectrum and if you can get your emotions and spirit healthy, miracles will happen when you align that with healing superfoods.

I expected a lot and learned even more and I am very happy, that I spent the money to learn so many things, that are really relevant to my private and professional life as a healthcarepracticioner from Germany.
Now I need to go at least once to Florida to have the whole experience in person!
I think I most enjoyed Brians lectures, that were so knowledgable, funny and awakening. But there are many more good speakers, who all are full of wisdom, experience and look like they practice, what they preach.
Thanks for this awesome program. I wish it would exist in a german version in order to present it to people im my country.
