NO MUD, NO LOTUS
THICH NHAT HANH
Lotus Health Foundation was named for the nature of lotus flowers that grow tall from a muddy environment. A lotus flower rises above its murky environment to display to a beautiful bloom. It’s humble and elegant.
The lifestyle of fast food, sedentary living, high-stress and social isolation is like mud in today’s society.
Our approach is holistic, focusing on education and practical strategies to achieve and maintain good health. By teaching others how to live healthier lives, we not only improve individual well-being but also inspire the growth of a healthier, more vibrant community. Like a lotus spreading its petals, our influence extends outward, fostering a supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
Community Focused
We believe that all individuals are worthy of respect and dignity, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. Lotus Health Foundation delivers culturally-sensitive and responsive education for all.
Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle medicine is the recipe for health and happiness. The Petals of Health represent the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine: Nutrition, Movement, Passion, Social Connections, Stress Management, and Sleep.
Evidence-Based
Research shows that lifestyle medicine can address up to 80% of chronic diseases. This proven, evidence-based approach is the foundation for an equitable healthcare delivery system, leading to whole person health.
