Strengthening Health Institute

Strengthening Health Institute Founded in 1997, we are a non-profit education center located in Philadelphia dedicated to promoting health and well-being through plant-based nutrition.

The Strengthening Health Institute (SHI) was founded in 1997 by Denny Waxman to teach others how to create lasting health through a plant-based diet and lifestyle practices (also known as ). In 2002, SHI was incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit school with a mission to:
- Demystify and simplify Macrobiotics to allow access to a much larger number of people.
- Create the model for Macrobiotic education for the present and future to move Macrobiotics into the mainstream.
- Empower people to make their own wise choices for lifestyle and health.
