CHIP Program

Picture
What is CHIP?
The Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP) - formerly - is an affordable, lifestyle enrichment program designed to reduce disease risk factors through the adoption of better health habits and appropriate lifestyle modifications. The goal is to lower blood cholesterol, hypertension, and blood sugar levels and reduce excess weight. This is done by improving dietary choices, enhancing daily exercise, increasing support systems and decreasing stress, thus aiding in preventing and reversing disease.

Why does CHIP exist?
CHIP is based on the fact that 75% or more of our Western diseases are “lifestyle-related,” according to the U.S. Surgeon General[1]. These diseases are connected to our processed diet; lack of exercise; overuse of cigarettes, alcohol, and caffeine; increased levels of stress; and the quality of our support systems. These diseases include:
  • Heart Disease
  • Stroke
  • Hypertension
  • Diabetes
  • Overweight
  • Certain adult cancers
  • Diverticular disease
  • Constipation
  • Heartburn
  • Arthritis
  • Impotence
  • Depression/Anxiety
  • Fatigue

​​            Normalise Blood Pressure
  • Many CHIP participants that are hypertensive at the start of the program dramatically reduce and sometimes eliminate their need for medication.
​​            Lower Cholesterol
  • ​19.8% reduction in average total cholesterol in 30 days for those with baseline cholesterol of higher than 280mg/dl (7.24 mmol/l).
​​            Lower Fasting Blood Glucose
  • 19.9% reduction in average fasting plasma glucose in 30 days for those with baseline fasting plasma glucose of higher than 125mg/dl (6.94 mmol/l).
​​            ​Lower BMI
  • ​Participants report reduced BMI by the average of 3% within just 30 days and with long term adherence to the lifestyle resulting in achieving ideal body weight.

We have a team of registered trained facilitators that run this fantastic program 1-2 times each year depending on demand.
