Health and Hygiene & The Four Temperaments
The temperament of a human being reveals the interaction between the physical and the spiritual characteristics of that individual. Understanding the Temperament of a person allows choosing which therapeutic modalities or lifestyle interventions would be best for helping an adult or a child in a particular situation.
Rudolf Steiner has considered the topic of the temperaments to be so important that he returned to this subject throughout his life. We will present specific characteristics of each temperament and discuss, among others, new remedies that may help to balance each of the four principal temperaments.
A New Physiology of the Heart
At the turn of the 20th century, Rudolf Steiner presented a revolutionary model of heart physiology, contradicting the notion that the heart is a pressure propulsion pump! He further warned that this misconception would promote harmful consequences for human health and social life.
Dr. Branko Furst has lectured and published widely on this subject. He shares his extensive expertise and research confirming Steiner’s groundbreaking discovery and present a new paradigm of the human heart and circulation. Further, he discusses with us how the heart serves as a bridge between the spiritual and physical constitution of the human being, which has great significance for the future development of humanity.

Our Values

Empowering Teachers and Parents to Nurture Healthy & Resilient Children
At the Foundation for Health Creation, we believe that healthy children thrive in healthy communities. Our mission is to empower teachers and parents with practical, holistic tools to foster well-being through wholesome nutrition, holistic approaches to learning, healthy environments, emotional resilience, and meaningful family and community connections.
About Us
FHC was founded in 2019 by Dr. Steven Johnson, Dr. Carmen Hering, Dr. Daciana Iancu and Amanda Jacobs out of an impulse to renew our collective vision of public health- to prioritize health creation, with the individual human being and human relationships at the center. This vision is fueled and inspired by our work in Anthroposophic, Integrative and Osteopathic Medicine, but our impulse seeks to unite with all those who seek the same goal. Public health and health creation belong to everyone and is not just a medical or health care issue. Our health and resilience is also a reflection of the health of our natural environment, social environment and our individual freedom to choose and pursue our own paths to health.
Our Partners
At the Foundation for Health Creation, we are deeply grateful for our valued partners who share our vision of fostering holistic health, resilience, and well-being—particularly for children and thriving communities. Through meaningful collaborations with like-minded organizations and innovators in integrative, anthroposophic, and holistic approaches, we advance practical tools, educational resources, and inspiring initiatives that bridge science, spirit, and everyday life. Together, we are building a movement centered on health creation, nurturing meaningful human connections, supportive environments, and empowering teachers, parents, and individuals to cultivate wholeness across all stages of life.
