Our Why
Sedentary lifestyle, poor nutrition and poor sleep define our culture. The resulting explosion of chronic disease in our population is robbing us of our health.• 18% of US adults over 30 have diabetes.
• 40% are obese.
• More than 75% are on medication for a chronic condition.
• Even in our hyper-connected world, 1 in 3 American adults report feelings of isolation and loneliness.
• Nearly 1 in 4 struggle with depression and anxiety.Physical activity, healthy eating and community are important, scientifically-proven interventions for these conditions.
