Introduction:
Cardiometabolic disease including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, obesity, insulin resistance and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease make up three of the top six diagnosed diseases in the United States. Reducing risk at the root cause for these diseases involves more than just a prescription medication. The good news is several lifestyle modifications and natural solutions are available to help you regain control and reverse your cardiometabolic risk. Your health care practitioner may begin by implementing a Mediterranean diet or prescribing an exercise program and daily stress-reducing techniques. Following an assessment of your needs, a comprehensive program is developed to help you take control of your cardiometabolic risk. There are 12 sessions of online group coaching covering all the areas of lifestyle medicine and 3 in-person group sessions for lab assessment and interpretation for cardiometabolic risk.

These daily choices are important because they add up over a lifetime to create your disease risk profile. If you’ve made some unhealthy choices over your lifetimes, it’s ok!
