Greetings!
This workshop is appropriate for all with interest in understanding strategies to heal and reverse type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), pre-diabetes, and coexisting conditions such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol using principles inclusive of Lifestyle Medicine.
I believe this workshop will add value to your organization and benefit the attendees, their families and the community. Today 11% (37 million) Americans have diabetes, and 33% (96 million) Americans have pre-diabetes. Roughly $412, 000,000 is spent yearly for medical costs, lost work, and wages. Overwhelming scientific evidence suggests that lifestyle factors related to nutrition, physical activity and stress levels are often at the very core of chronic health conditions.
This 2-day (20-hour) workshop will provide attendees with an interactive in-depth overview of lifestyle factors that serve as the root cause for T2DM and co-existing conditions, while developing new strategies to combat these issues head-on. Please visit our website here or contact us for more information. We look forward to speaking with you.
Warm Regards
