Strategies for Health and Humanity

Website

Strategies for Health & Humanity (S4HH) was founded in 2024 by Noora Elkoussy, a global health and humanitarian professional with 25+ years of experience. With a master’s in Nutrition Education, Noora created S4HH to provide individuals, communities, and organizations with a Food as Medicine approach to healthcare. From Crisis to Care, Global to Nutritional Health In 2013, while serving as Country Director for a program supporting Syrian refugees in Lebanon, I experienced a life-altering health crisis — a hemorrhagic cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) that left me with sudden vision loss and debilitating migraines. Though I underwent urgent brain surgery, the mass was inoperable. The experience forced me to step away from my career in humanitarian leadership and embark on a profoundly personal healing journey. Determined to find answers beyond conventional medicine, I immersed myself in nutrition, integrative medicine, functional healing, and meditation. I studied micronutrients and herbal therapies, and worked alongside supplement experts, helping hundreds of people improve their chronic conditions. I reversed a prediabetes diagnosis, stabilized my CCM, and transformed my health. This experience reshaped my mission. Already trained in diplomacy and global public health, I returned to university to earn a Master’s in Nutrition Education and became a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES). I founded Strategies for Health & Humanity to reconnect my humanitarian roots with evidence-based nutrition and culturally relevant care. Today, I support individuals and communities worldwide, drawing on a deep understanding of both crisis and recovery, both in the body and in the world.
