History
Hippocrates Wellness began in 1956 in Stoneham, Massachusetts, co-founded by Ann Wigmore, who overcame Stage 4 colon cancer through living foods, and Viktoras Kulvinskas, who advanced its raw, plant-based nutrition philosophy. Wigmore’s belief that There are no incurable diseases if one lives in harmony with nature shaped the institute’s mission. In the 1970s, Brian Clement and his wife, Anna Maria Clement, joined Wigmore, bringing their passion for holistic health and teaching. Wigmore entrusted them with leadership, and under Brian’s guidance, the institute relocated to West Palm Beach, Florida, in the late 1980s, expanding into a world-leading wellness retreat.[2]
