The Organ Wise Guys:

For over twenty years, Suwanee-based, The OrganWise Guys Inc., has developed and operationalized the number one childhood obesity prevention program in the country that is based on a unique set of characters that personify the organs of the body. This program, The OrganWise Guys, is a whole child approach to nutrition, physical activity and healthy living. This solution can be found in over 10,000 elementary schools, 1000’s of Early Childhood Centers and 1000’s of Park and Recreation sites across the country inspiring children to embrace a holistic, health-focused, balanced life.

Research on The OrganWise Guys Comprehensive School Program is published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, the American Journal of Public Health and the Journal of Healthcare for the Poor and Underserved demonstrating statistically significant improvements in elementary school children’s weight, waist circumference, blood pressure measures and academic performance. Similar research on 2-5 year olds, showing statistically significant improvements of waist circumference and BMI percentiles, was presented at the American Heart Association conference in 2015 and is currently in the publication process.

In 2017, The OrganWise Guys Inc. will expand their reach to jumbo employers who are interested in combatting escalating healthcare costs with prevention-oriented strategies.
