The program is a science-based comprehensive program conducted by experts from the University of South Carolina’s award-winning Exercise Science department and the Cancer Prevention and Control Program in partnership with Providence Hospital. The program will focus on ways participants can change their diet, physical activity, and stress levels for long-term results. This program is for individuals who have chronic disease risk factors such as high cholesterol, blood pressure, or blood glucose; who have a family history of heart disease, diabetes, or cancer; or who are overweight. Classes meet twice a week for an hour and a half over 12 weeks. Each class uses a combination of cooking classes, exercise sessions, individual sessions with the exercise physiologist and licensed and registered dietitian who oversee the program, small group discussions of progress and strategies for change, and stress reduction sessions to help individuals meet their lifestyle change goals. Guest instructors such as Patricia Moore-Pastides, MPH, First Lady of USC, who will instruct participants in the basics of Mediterranean cuisine will provide exposure to different types of physical activity and cooking methods participants can use to keep their changes engaging and long term.

In addition to the course content, individual diet and physical activity assessments, and personalized instruction, participants will receive a pre and post assessment of their weight, body circumference, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, and inflammatory levels.

Physician Prescription is REQUIRED.
