FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Leading Functional Health Educator Evolves to Institute of Restorative Health, Reflecting True Scope of Advanced Clinical Training

After 10+ years of training practitioners to solve complex health cases, organization’s new name finally matches the depth and rigor of its education

[Cheyenne, WY, September 2025] – After more than a decade of being recognized as one of the most comprehensive functional health training programs available, Restorative Wellness Solutions today announced its evolution to the Institute of Restorative Health (IRH) – a name that accurately reflects the sophisticated clinical methodology taught to its 1,400+ graduates worldwide.

The transition comes after extensive research revealed a disconnect between the organization’s name and the advanced clinical capabilities developed by its practitioners. While “wellness” suggested general health improvement, graduates consistently demonstrate the ability to solve complex, multi-system health challenges that have stumped other practitioners.

“Honestly, our name never quite fit what we actually do,” said Margaret Floyd Barry, Executive Director of IRH. “We’re not teaching wellness tips – we’re developing clinical detectives who can unravel complicated health puzzles using evidence-based, whole-person approaches. Our graduates help clients who’ve been everywhere else without success.”

The Institute’s approach differs significantly from standard wellness education through its emphasis on:

• Root-cause analysis rather than symptom management
• Evidence-based clinical methodology
• Personalized protocols based on comprehensive assessment
• Advanced critical thinking skills for complex cases
• Rigorous academic standards with 96% completion rates

“When our graduates describe their training, they use words like ‘transformative,’ ‘clinical mastery,’ and ‘advanced,'” Barry explained. “Meanwhile, we’re introducing ourselves as a ‘wellness solutions’ company. It was time for our name to reflect the academic rigor of our program and the caliber of practitioners who successfully complete it.”  

Practitioners certified through IRH, now designated as Restorative Health Practitioners (RHPs), are known for achieving breakthrough results with clients who have complex, persistent health issues. The Institute’s rigorous curriculum and intensive training methodology ensure graduates develop both theoretical knowledge and practical application skills.

The transition maintains all existing programming while positioning the organization’s credentials at the appropriate level within healthcare education.

“This isn’t a rebrand – it’s more like we’re finally wearing clothes that fit,” Barry noted. “We’ve always delivered Institute-level education. Now our name reflects that reality.”
