‘Ekahi Ornish Experience
Healthier Together
The toughest thing about making lifestyle changes is having to do them by yourself. Each cohort consists of up to 15 people – creating a support network of individuals with like-minded goals. Cohorts are encouraged to continue to meet up together long after graduation, and become lifelong resources for each other in their continued journey to wellness! Our trained professionals ensure that each participant’s unique needs are met to help everyone achieve their goals, and that you’ll have plenty of time to ask questions and learn about the program.
When I come to the Alumni Program and practice stress management with ‘Ekahi instructors, I get an even higher high. There is a real benefit to doing these things in a group. I try to come as often as I can. – Inder, ‘Ekahi Ornish Graduate
The Four Elements
We’ve all known somebody that’s tried to make tough lifestyle changes by starting an intense workout routine or a restrictive diet. But years of research by Dr. Dean Ornish at the Preventative Medicine Institute showed that participants succeeded the most when they were offered a more holistic and balanced approach to wellness – one that involved nutrition and exercise, but also incorporated stress management and group support. At ‘Ekahi Ornish Lifestyle Medicine, we’re proud offer all four of these elements in a safe, welcoming environment. It’s why 87.9% of Ornish graduates continue to see improvements in their numbers one year after graduation – higher than traditional medicine.*
