The Hippocrates Health Institute has deep New England roots. The institute started in Boston’s Back Bay in 1956. Dr. Clement worked with the founders, Ann Wigmore and Viktoras Kulvinskas. The Hippocrates mission “is to assist people in taking responsibility for their lives and to help them internalize and actualize an existence free from premature aging, disease and needless pain,” as described on their website.

At the Expo, you will have opportunities to try vegan, organic, raw superfoods that are also gluten and dairy free. Come out to meet your local network of health-conscious businesses and be supported in adopting a more holistic lifestyle. The event is organized by Optimum Health Solution which supports the Real Kids Real Food Program, an after school program that teaches kids about healthy foods and how to prepare them.
