Vital Choice Chapter leaders with Mike Tyson at Fuel The Fight 2025
The Vital Choice Project (TVCP) is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to empowering undergraduate students pursuing healthcare careers. Our mission is to educate future healthcare professionals in holistic healing and functional medicine, challenging the influence of Big Pharma on America's healthcare system. We believe God created everything we need to be a healthy society! TVCP Chapters advocate for medical freedom, nutrition education, and natural healing modalities, fostering healers, not dealers. Through crowd-sourced grants, we fund students to take nutrition courses alongside mandatory pharmacology classes, promoting a balanced approach to healthcare. We partner with alternative medical training programs outside traditional Rockefeller/Carnegie institutions to support innovative education.
Garrett Pagel and Ashton Portmann, shaped by chronic illnesses, founded The Vital Choice Project to transform healthcare education. Their mission is to empower the next generation of health practitioners to prioritize medical freedom, scientific truth, and proactive wellness over conventional treatment and prescriptions, fostering a healthcare revolution rooted in natural, evidence-based solutions that challenge entrenched pharmaceutical interests.
