  2. Our nation’s current health: • We spend more than $2 trillion dollars on healthcare per YEAR • Almost 2/3 of US adults aged 20-74 years are overweight, including 30% who are obese (NHANES). • In the past 3 decades, adulthood obesity incidence has increased 100%

  3. Children’s Health “Because of the increasing rates of obesity, unhealthy eating habits, and physical inactivity, we may see the first generation that will be less healthy and have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.” –Surgeon General Richard Carmona, March 2004

  4. Children’s health: • Among persons aged 6-19 years old, an estimated 15%, or 9 million youths, are overweight. • In the past 3 decades, the numbers have more than tripled for children aged 6-11 and doubled for adolescents aged 12-19.

  5. Diabetes • One in three American children born in 2000 will develop diabetes if they adopt the nation's inactive and overeating lifestyle, according to a new government report. • For Hispanic children, the odds are even worse: About one in two will develop the disease, says K.M. VenkatNarayan, MD, chief of the diabetes epidemiology section at the CDC Atlanta.

  6. Cancer • "Cancer will affect 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women in the United States, and the number of new cases of cancer is set to nearly double by the year 2050."(from the National Cancer Institute)

  7. The Solution: • Preventative, patient-powered natural medicine, which includes education about healthy eating and lifestyle choices.

  8. Mission: • To educate Americans how to live up to their health potential – psychologically, emotionally, physically & spiritually – through natural medicine and lifestyle choices.

  9. What is naturopathic medicine? Based on 6 principles: • Do not harm • Identify and treat the cause. • Let nature heal. • Treat the whole person. • Educate patients. • Prevent illness.

  10. Our Plan • To educate the country! Through community events and media attention - connect with the people where they are and challenge them to take steps to improve their health.
