The Yorkton CHIP Program is back and it's your chance to get healthy. CHIP stands for Complete Health Improvement Program. It's a 40-day inspiring, educational program on how to make "major diet and lifestyle changes" that are necessary to reverse or normalize Obesity, Heart Disease, Adult Onset Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Osteoporosis, Digestion Problems and Constipation and much more.
Local Volunteer Facilitator Glenda Nischuk says CHIP offers participants the complete education they need in order to make informed diet and lifestyle changes and to stick with them.
"It's easy to just tell people they need to make 'major diet and lifestyle changes' but a lifetime of bad habits and wrong choices do not change easily. It's hard to do this alone or without a coach, and this is where CHIP's success lies.
"When a person understands how their body works and what the foods that they eat, do to their body, they have the education they need to understand not only WHY they need to make these changes, but HOW to do it.
"With knowledge comes power, and with the power CHIP participants get from the program, they are able to easily make the changes that are necessary AND stick with them. As Dale Carnegie once so aptly put it, "Wisdom only becomes powerful when it is applied."
CHIP program participants meet two evenings a week for six weeks starting February 11, with streamed in video presentations by the dynamic health lecturer Dr. Hans Diehl, DrHSc, MPH, FACN and other educators from the Lifestyle Medicine Institute.
Before and after blood draws and health screenings and health risk assessment allow you to see the difference that YOU can make in just 40 days!
CHIP also offers presentations by local health professionals, heart healthy meal samples each evening, Grocery Store Tours, reference materials, on-going support meetings and a banquet to celebrate the participants success at the completion of the course.
Yorkton CHIP has over 70 graduates who have experienced an average of:
A 17 per cent Cholesterol drop with some drops up to 25 per cent.
Weight losses averaged seven pounds, with losses as high as 30 pounds.
Blood Pressure, Triglycerides, and Heart Rates also showed dramatic improvement.
Diabetics showed great improvement and were able to lower insulin or drop their need for for it completely in just eight weeks by continuing on the program with guidance from their physician.
There are no drugs and no gimmicks, says Nischuk, "just a straight forward inspiring education on how to make healthy choices so that you can enjoy a lifetime of better health - a precious commodity today!
"I have taken on this task, because I am a believer in the CHIP program and I have seen first- hand the great results that people can achieve by making CHIP their new lifestyle. It's like handing them their life back!"
