Obesity is A Disease

If you are one of the millions of people in America experiencing the serious problem of weight gain and obesity … it is NOT all your fault. Overweight and Obesity is chronic disease that has extensive ripple effects and is the foundation of other multiple serious chronic diseases.

If you are one of the millions of people in America experiencing the serious problem of weight gain and obesity … it is NOT all your fault. Overweight and Obesity is chronic disease that has extensive ripple effects and is the foundation of other multiple serious chronic diseases.

More than two-thirds of us are overweight and more than one-third of us are obese. We are fast becoming a nation of people with a multitude of serious illnesses caused by excess weight. This Chronic Disease has extensive ripple effects and is the foundation of other multiple serious chronic diseases.

It is our mission and passion to teach you what works and what doesn’t so you will have the knowledge and skills to get healthy and stay healthy. The best time to fix or prevent a problem 5 or 10 years from now is today.

We teach the current science of how to safely lose weight and keep it off. Our goal is to also teach you how to prevent, delay and, possibly, even reverse many chronic, debilitating and life-threatening diseases, including Heart Disease and Stroke, Hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes, High Cholesterol, Joint Disorders and even Cancer. Overweight and obesity are foundational causes of these and many other chronic diseases.

Studies show that more than 80 percent of our health care dollars in this country are spent needlessly on the management of multiple chronic medical diseases experienced by Americans that could be completely avoided. The World Health Organization states that 90 percent of all Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, 80 percent of Cardiovascular Disease, and 30 percent of all Cancers could be eliminated by lifestyle changes and reduction of overweight and obesity.

Contrary to popular opinion, Overweight and Obesity are NOT a lack of will power, NOT a weakness, and NOT a character flaw. It is a very complex and multifactorial disease that requires knowledgeable and individualized diagnosis and treatment.

We are going to teach you the scientific principles that control your environment and your future
