Natural Health Research

Founded by Elwood Richard in 2008, Natural Health Research is an independent nonprofit dedicated to advancing evidence-based, natural approaches to health and wellness. NHR continues Elwood’s legacy by providing peer-reviewed research that empowers people to improve their well-being. Dr. Yalda Shokooh became Executive Director in 2023, succeeding Dr. Rick Sharpee. Our values are rooted in scientific integrity, transparency, and objectivity, ensuring the health information we share is evidence-based, balanced, and trustworthy. We empower individuals to make informed decisions about their well-being while embracing a holistic approach to health and collaborating with experts across scientific, medical, and natural health fields. With nearly 3,000 articles covering a wide range of health topics, our website makes peer-reviewed research easier to understand and explore. Our writing staff, with backgrounds in biochemistry, medicine, and nutrition, carefully summarize research published in peer-reviewed journals. Each summary is then reviewed by a team of respected scientists before being published. We are committed to providing objective, science-based information and do not permit commercial messages or influence. Your donation helps us maintain this independence and continue making trusted natural health research freely available to everyone.
