Mission

The focus of this service is centered on general issues of good health and wellness.

Through workshops, seminars, and lectures, helpful and practical information will be presented on how individuals can maximize healthy and productive lives through proper medical advice, diet, the use of herbs and supplements, and the adoption of health life habits. Information is presented on how to support doctor-supervised medical treatment through a better understanding of the doctor-patient relationship and by using the proper nutritional and lifestyle support systems.

Corporate workshops can be tailored to meet the specific needs of this unique population. Among the greatest threat to wellness is stress and its effect on good health. These varied presentations will provide participants with thorough insight and understanding of the body: how it works and functions and how what happens in life can cause diseases and illnesses. Armed with this information, participants will be better equipped to enjoy healthier and more productive lives while successfully pursuing life goals.

Throughout the presentations, audiences will gain specific insight into some very relevant concerns about health. Among them:

• Cancer Prevention
• Smoking Cessation
• Diet and Disease
• Understanding Medications
• Approaches to Weight Loss
• Living Longer and Healthier
• Stress Management

About Glenn Ellis

When Glenn Ellis, Sr. enrolled in the pre-med program at the University of Pennsylvania more than three decades ago, it was just the first step in his lifelong commitment to ensuring the health and well-being of others. Today, in addition to self-publishing Which Doctor?: What You Need to Know to be Healthy, an informative, easy-to-read holistic health handbook, the Alabama native has earned a well-deserved reputation as an internationally respected health educator and complementary medicine consultant.

After majoring in Health Systems Planning at UPenn’s prestigious Ivy League undergraduate institution, Ellis continued his studies at the International College of Bio-Dynamics and the Atlantic Academy of Classical Homeopathy. Recently, he was named Executive Editor of BlackDoctor.org, the definitive health website for African Americans.

Over the years, Ellis has honed a unique brand of healthcare. He conducts lectures and seminars for a wide range of corporations, associations and community groups. His writings have been published under the auspices of the esteemed European Science Foundation and in the Journal of Philosophy and Ethics in the Ukraine. He also is a member of the Review Staff of the American Journal of Public Health. Ellis was a Borough Councilman in Yeadon, Pennsylvania, serving as Chair of the Public Safety Committee.

Ellis maintains a busy lecture schedule in the U.S. and abroad, where he highlights health disparities and medical ethics. In addition to offering individualized health regimens to hundreds of clients, Ellis speaks at churches and community centers and is a popular and well sought-after university guest lecturer.

Ellis also publishes a weekly web advice column for EURweb.com, the premier online source for urban “infotainment”. EURweb.com attracts 1.2 million visitors each month, and the site’s daily e-mailed newsletter has a database of 72,000 subscribers (including a large celebrity list), which reaches over 1.4 million readers. His syndicated health columns, published weekly in African American newspapers nationwide, also are read by millions. Ellis is a contributor to Real Health Magazine, and contributes to The National Medical Association’s new, Healthy Living magazine.

For 10 years, health-conscious Philadelphians tuned into his weekly radio broadcast, a lively talk show where Ellis could be relied upon to dispense practical medical advice. But it was Ellis’ breadth of knowledge, easy sense of humor and great taste in music that made each broadcast memorable. Ellis’ unique broadcasts are now heard in 53 U.S. markets and 53 countries around the world through weekly health commentaries on Lee Bailey’s Radioscope, broadcast via the Armed Forces Radio Network. Radio stations carrying the program include RadioOne, Clear Channel, Citadel and Cumulus. Ellis still remains a favorite guest and commentator on WURD-AM, WIP-AM, and WHAT-AM talk radio in Philadelphia.

Regarded as an expert in a specialized field, Ellis serves on the Institutional Review Board and the Ethics Committee of Mercy-Fitzgerald, as well as Mercy Hospital of Philadelphia. Recently, he became a member of the Institutional Review Board of Thomas Jefferson Health Systems. In these roles, Ellis is actively involved in the disparities education and protection of rights, particularly, for African Americans involved in clinical trials. He also is a member of the Association of Clinicians for the Underserved (ACU) and has conducted Grand Rounds Lectures on African American Perspectives on Healthcare. A father of two, Ellis was invited to present at the Global Forum for Bioethics in Research in Karachi, Pakistan, and he has presented at Bioethics Conferences in both The Netherlands and Berlin, Germany. He recently delivered a lecture at the IV International Symposium on Bioethics in Ukraine’s capital city, Kiev, where his abstract was published.

For years, Ellis has created and marketed his own line of herbal supplements. Currently, he is President of Strategies for Well-Being, LLC, a health education and consulting company headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he consults with national corporate clients on promoting and providing health education for consumers and providers. He is a clinical consultant in Complementary and Alternative Medicine for QCHC, a federally-qualified community health center. In April, 2006, Ellis became a Consultant on the development of a strategic plan for cultural competency for the City of Philadelphia’s Department of Behavioral Health.

Writer, educator, lecturer, consultant, commentator and public official, Ellis’ career has been dedicated to helping others maintain good health. But, perhaps he is best known as a down-to-earth practitioner who encourages everyone to, “Live the best life possible!”
