WellnessCampaign.org is registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization created to help people make a permanent, positive change in their health. We use all possible tools—online, mobile, video, print, community, and in-person—to promote common-sense healthy habits. We help people lose weight and feel better—in short, to change the culture of who they are. Our focus is on permanent healthy change and weight loss rooted in established medical research, not fads or diets that don’t create permanent change and, typically, do more harm than good.

We change the culture of both communities and individuals. For an individual, changing one’s culture means grappling with the traditions and habits that we grew up with and understanding how they support or undermine the positive changes that we want to make. We help people to embrace a new culture – a new way of living – that is uniquely their own, but leads to sustainable healthier habits and lifestyle by changing what they eat, how they eat it, how they move, how they sleep, and how they get access to support from friends and family.
