A new class is starting that helps participants learn a new way of living that will reduce disease risk factors through the adoption of better health habits and appropriate lifestyle modifications. The Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP) is a scientifically proven lifestyle intervention program designed to prevent, arrest and even reverse today's most common diseases. It was developed by Dr. Hans Diehl, clinical professor of preventative medicine for Loma Linda University. Diehl was inspired to start a program for the community after working at the Pritikin Longevity Center. This community-based program helps participants make lasting lifestyle changes within 35 days followed by ongoing support. The goal is to lower blood cholesterol, triglycerides and blood sugar levels by reducing excess weight, lowering high blood pressure, enhancing daily exercise, improving dietary choices, and eliminating smoking. Programs are distributed via video for showing at each session. Featured presenters on each video include: founder Hans Diehl, Darren Morton, PhD, author and senior lecturer at Avondale College of Higher Education, and Andrea Avery, MD, internal medicine physician and professor of medicine at University of California, Irvine. The CHIP programs are conducted by trained and licensed CHIP facilitators and offered in more than 350 cities across North America, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. The 30-day class begins on Jan. 16 and will meet Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. The course includes two health risk assessments (including blood draws), two lifestyle evaluations, 18 video lectures, guest speakers, textbook and workbook, an exercise segment, cookbook with recipes, food samples and post graduation support.
