Lifestyle & Weight Management
The Lifestyle and Weight Management Program at the Pondera Medical Center is the latest program offered by the Wellness Center. The program assists people struggling with weight to become permanent weight controllers not dieters. Controlling weight is a struggle because biological factors work aggressively against us. In this program participants learn to become just as aggressive in their dietary intake and fitness regiment to combat these biological factors.
Participants learn about scientifically proven nutrition and fitness habits and not just fad diets. This program does not tell you what to eat, but gives solid guidelines to finding success. The program lasts six months and is designed to be rejoined as participants need.
Like any chronic disease, participants learn that weight control must always be managed as a lifestyle change. With acceptance of this aspect, weight controllers discover success.
For more information, contact the Wellness Program Manager and let the Wellness Center become your wellness advocate.
