Obesity Epidemic

Over 66% of American's are considered obese. At our current trends of increasing weight gain as a population, experts predict by 2022 over 80% will be overweight. Plus obesity is one of the leading causes of almost all major health problems:
  1. Heart disease
  2. Cancer
  3. Stroke
  4. Type II diabetes
  5. Sleep Apnea

Plus with current levels of obesity, it is estimated that this young generation will be the first whose life expectancy will be less than their parents. However this is ALL preventable. What are we each doing to make changes. Once we ourselves get healthy we can become examples and advocates for our children, grandchildren, friends, and neigbors.

Take Shape for Life and Medifast Meals are a scientifically researched program that works. It has programs to fit anyone's needs. From senior's, diabetics, even youth. So call Dr. T and take that first step back to health. 878-3304.
