Building a new Australia

Connecting with aligned communities

The World of Wellness is connected with the natural health and medical freedom groups around Australia.

Together we co host a number of events including book launches, medical conferences, overseas tours and fund raisers.

WOW has its finger on the pulse, and we keep our members up to date with
the latest medical and legal trends, both locally and abroad.

We also offer them a directory of aligned health services, from
integrative GP's to IV vitamin services. This enables people to quickly
and easily find the health practitioners that have their values.

Together we are building a new future for Australians. One where healthy
lifestyles and a wholistic approach to medical conditions are the main
focus.

The long term vision of WOW

Grass roots reform

WOW is not just a social group or an education platform. We don't just make video's about current affairs or react to the latest Canberra policies.

We are absolutely serious about changing the entire fabric of Australia's health industry. For too long it has been in the grip of out-of-touch bureaucrats and pharmaceutical-controlled lobby groups.

Both Doctors and patients have suffered as education and informed consent has been suffocated. Instead of asking questions both Doctors and patients are being increasingly told to just 'keep quiet' and 'follow orders'.

At the same time that bureaucrat salaries are gobbling up increasing large amounts of funding set aside for healthcare, profits for the global pharmaceutical industry are soaring.

Meanwhile, the health of our nation is deteriorating. Australians are now sicker, fatter and have higher rates of suicide than at any time during our nations history. Our bodies are overwhelmed and confused by a sea of pesticides, GMO foods, micro plastics, and artificially created pharmacy medications.

Good health is our birthright. Strong bodies and minds are how we build this nation.

WOW is looking to recruit a million members to help us drive this movement of reform.

Good living and longevity

February 28, 20242 min read

"The more people who live under the one roof, the longer and healthier and happier the family life expectancy will be."

- Professor Ian Brighthope.

During this presentation Professor Brighthope discusses the weakness of modern medicine and the disease-based model.

"We've got the best doctors in the world and this country, when they practice medicine carefully and properly they do a good job. What I'm going to talk about today is what is missing in our healthcare system".

Ian explains that communities that live the longest with the least amount of chronic disease, have the best family and community connections, and eat natural, home-grown foods.

What is healthy ageing?​

Healthy ageing means maintaining our social connections. Avoiding loneliness. Reduce life stresses. Getting adequate amounts of sunlight. Enough proper sleep. Regular exercise. Access to healthy food. Living in a healthy environment. And access to good supplements.

So, first of all, the way to ageing in a healthy manner, is to reduce loneliness and social isolation.

If we're lonely and we're isolated socially, that is a very poor prognosis as far as healthy ageing is concerned.

Loneliness can increase the risk of premature death to levels comparable to smoking daily. Did you know that? The more people who live under the one roof, the longer and healthier and happier the family life expectancy will be.

Having a balanced life, plenty of vitamins, children and family all around you, that's what matters.

One third of the population is affected by social isolation in developed countries, and this problem is only increasing. Isolation is identified as bad as smoking, as I mentioned carries a greater risk than obesity. Social isolation is linked to heart disease, cancer, depression, diabetes, suicide, etc.

So the way to healthy ageing is through a good, close knit family, and a solid social group.

Colby Hickey

"I enjoy the WOW meetings because they give me inspiration and motivation for my health. I started going to the meetings at the end of last year and have been almost every week since. They are a great way to be in a community of like-minded people. The lock-down period in Melbourne was very difficult for me and others- I felt isolated and not myself. The period of being in lock-down kept us more depressed and unable to stay positive. We lost our sense of hope. The community of the WOW group reminded us of our hope and gave me faith in the right direction once more. My outlook was improved greatly with the WOW meetings, thankfully."

"My Friend suggested the WOW to me as we shared the same feelings about the current Health system. I was welcomed with open hearts and an understanding not felt by our usual medical practitioners...There is a power in us that gets denied by the current health care and I congratulate the WOW for returning to real care for a Human Being. The World of Wellness is an important part of our life to share our journey of continued health and well-being through meeting like-minded people with a real interest in the individual and their personal and educational approach. The world needs an overhaul of the current system and I can see and feel that the WOW will be just that for the future."
