Diabetic Health Clinic Newsletter – 9/6/13

Welcome to our weekly newsletter.  What a week it has been.  So much has happened.

This week one of our previous Lifestyle Program attendees sent in a testimonial as to how the program how changed his life.  Ross shares with us how he has been able to make such a monumental change.  To read what Ross has shared follow this link. 

It never ceases to amaze me how much interest there is out there when it comes to dealing with lifestyle diseases.  There is no doubt that today we live in a society that has been sold on the consumption of processed foods  There is also no doubt that these factory made food like products are not just a major contributor to the Type 2 diabetic epidemic which is now sweeping the world but a major contributing factor to many other lifestyle diseases.

A while ago we posted a page on our web site with a link to a video that was put together by ABC’s foreign correspondent.  This is a very interesting bit of viewing as it gives you a very clear idea as to why we have this terrible situation where obesity is in epidemic proportions.  Along with the obesity there is a frightening increase in the incidence of lifestyle diseases.

New Programs

Today was a very exciting day.  Our new Glasshouse Mountains program was launched.  What a great group of people with a great attendance, 13 people struggling with sugar issues and with partners we had a total of 23.  We are looking forward to seeing the huge changes that people in this group will make and we can’t wait to hear the stories of how they have been able to normalise blood sugar levels and how their doctor has told them to drop meds.

We are also running a pilot program that is being conducted via conference call and on-line meeting.  This week will be session 4 out of 12.  We are now at a stage where we are hoping that we will be able to help people in this way.  It means that even remote people will be able to benefit from the Diabetic Health Clinic Lifestyle Program.  We will keep you up to date with the progress of this program and the future availability of these types of programs.

New Recipes

Breaking News

This week a very interesting study was announced by JAMA (Journal of American Medical Association).  This study confirms previous studies and data showing that vegetarians live longer and avoid lifestyle diseases.  This is a fascinating study and worthwhile reading.  It may change the way that you think about what you are eating.  Follow this link to read all about the findings.

Info-Graphic

This weeks info graphic was about how you are what you eat.

It is interesting to understand how the body makes cells from what we eat and we literally become what we eat.  No wonder with all this processed food there are so many diseases.

We would like to wish you a sensational week and we look forward to writing to you next week.
