    • Challenges of global health epidemic is well known to all irrespective of age, race, nationality, etc. As a global community, we cannot continue to do what we have been doing for so long and expect this trend line to change. • I decided to do something about it and got certified in a proven scientific and data-driven Lifestyle Enrichment Program called CHIP in addition to taking a certification in "Plant-Based Nutrition" from Cornell.• CHIP is offered in over 300 locations worldwide. Now, I can offer the CHIP program worldwide, impacting people's health and wellness both at a community and corporate level. • The Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP) - formerly Coronary Health Improvement Project - 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 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 (www.chiphealth.com).• CHIP is based on the fact that 86% 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• Piloted in communities throughout North America, and with results published in more than 31+ scientific and medical journals, CHIP is making a difference• CHIP is designed and developed by Lifestyle Medicine Institute, Loma Linda University, CA.
