CHIP powerfully guides and supports people in reducing risk factors for today's common chronic diseases - heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and osteoporosis to mention the main ones. These diseases relate largely to our lifestyle - how we eat, drink, smoke, exercise and handle stress. While medication and sometimes surgeries can alleviate symptoms, CHIP attacks the causes of these diseases. It motivates and inspires people to make better choices and then measures the clinical results through screenings of risk factors such as cholesterol, blood pressure, weight etc., both before the program begins and when it ends. These screenings are used educationally, not diagnostically. CHIP promotes and supports a close association between participants and their physicians both during and after the program. After the initial 40 hour educational phase graduates are encouraged to continue their learning and be supported in maintaining their healthier lifestyles through regular meetings of the CHIP alumni. CHIP is without peer in what it offers - AND DELIVERS! Its 40 hours of education is provided in 16 main sessions and 2 workshops. The CHIP program can be delivered over periods from 4-8 weeks utilising a high-quality DVD lecture series combined with local content. The goal is to facilitate disease reversal by lowering blood cholesterol, triglycerides and blood sugar levels, by reducing excess weight, lowering high blood pressure, enhancing daily exercise and by eliminating smoking. |
