Why Vital Life?



Why is the Vital Life Community Different?


The Vital Life wellness concept is different from anything that is out on the wellness-driven market today because it mobilizes people to action to develop key relationships as they pursue optimal wellness in the eight "ecologies of life." Adherence and motivation are unique concepts used with wellness programs as these terms often revolve around programs for diet and exercise. What most people do not realize, is embedded in the meaning of these concepts are transparency, accountability, and measurement and this is where the Vital Life concept differs from most wellness programs.

The structure of the Vital Life program, based around the dimensions of wellness, creates councils of equals where everyone has a say and can very quickly connect with a team or other key partner to develop wellness programming that is tailored for the membership's specific culture and norms. Through assessment of the different mini cultures, teams can determine their best course of action and begin to measure their progress, outcomes, and satisfaction ratings to determine the direction of their next wellness focus. These performance groups are called upon to share, learn, teach and create social models geared for stealth health. According to Bill Witte, Executive Director of Vital Nation, "a wellness program composed of a motivated collective, living in a community setting, has the best chance of evolving individually and collectively as being "fully human and fully alive."
