Let 2013 be YOUR year!

 

 

 

 

 

We are gearing up for an exciting new year by starting our STRIVE 2 Survive wellness program on January 8th! STRIVE 2 Survive was initially started by Dr. Dan Reiffenberger and evolved into a complete wellness program when I came on board with the Brown Clinic a few years ago. We piloted the program with our own employees and then decided to provide it for our patients and fellow residents of NE South Dakota. Along the way, we have had the opportunity to work with a few hundred people in efforts of helping them live a healthier lifestyle which aids in disease prevention and longevity.

STRIVE 2 Survive is a program for anyone who has a heartbeat! Whether you have a disease such as diabetes or heart disease, want to lose weight or maintain weight, or just want to learn more about nutrition and eating healthy, we are here for you! We meet 6 out of the 12 weeks and the weeks we don’t meet, you get a take home lesson emailed or mailed to you so every week in the 12 week program, you get a lesson on activity and nutrition. Our speakers include several physicians, our Pharmacist, Physical Therapists, and myself-the dietitian….providing you with a top notch multi-disciplinary team! In addition to the education, lab work (fasting glucose and lipid panel) and body composition testing (weight, height, BMI, waist circumferce, BP, fat %, and muscle mass) are included pre and post program for a total cost of $130.

If you are interested in learning more, feel free to contact us today to reserve your spot! Wellness is not always easy, so if you are struggling or need a kick start to your new year, let us help you!
