“WebMD of Holistic Medicine” Reaches New Milestone
The Holistic Option, Inc., which launched the holistic health site www.TheHolisticOption.com, today announced the one-year anniversary of the website. TheHolisticOption.com, which was launched April 30, 2008, has been dubbed the “WebMD of holistic medicine” and has quickly become the standard as an online resource and community for holistic health, vetted practitioners, discussion forums, and featured content in articles, videos, blogs, latest news, natural products reviews, podcasts and more. Access to the site's extensive and user-friendly library of information is available to the public at no cost whatsoever.
TheHolisticOption.com is committed to bringing reliable, holistic health information to the mainstream in the United States. The Professional Associations that have come forth to recognize the site, including the American Holistic Medical Association (AHMA), as well as its professional Advisory Board, are key factors in changing the stigma of holistic care that has existed in the United States until now. The site is now averaging 35,000 visitors per month, each spending an average of 5 minutes on the site. Since the site’s inception in April of 2008, TheHolisticOption.com’s weekly podcast, “Holistic Health & Wellness”, has gained much popularity. The podcast is featured in the Top 50 Alternative Health shows in iTunes and has over 10,000 subscribers, with an average of 125 new subscribers daily.
"Just one year after launching TheHolisticOption.com, traffic to the website is climbing rapidly, many renowned experts have joined our professional Advisory Board, and ‘Holistic Health & Wellness’ is one of the top shows in iTunes” said Kelly Campbell, President and Founder of The Holistic Option, Inc. “The response we've had is incredible, and the rising demand for a reliable health resource and holistic practitioners proves that people want to get back to basics and start living healthier lives, naturally."
TheHolisticOption.com is looking forward to great prosperity throughout 2009. The company is currently developing an iPhone application, called “Holistic Med” which will allow users to browse natural remedies, connect with holistic practitioners and locate natural product providers in their immediate area. Recent partners include Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Mamaherb, American Association for Health Freedom (AAHF), and GenGreen Life. The company is also developing the first-ever supplemental insurance program for holistic health care, which will enable patients to afford the wellness services they seek and need. The incentive for practitioners to enroll is that the program does not limit their treatment capabilities, requires no paperwork and helps to grow their practices.
