90-Day Men's Health Challenge
Does any of this sound familiar to you?
-
I've struggled to make the changes I need to make in order to improve my health.
-
I'm taking more medications than I want to for diabetes, hypertension or high cholesterol.
-
I need help and the proper tools to be successful at making nutrition and lifestyle changes.
If so, you don't have to go it alone.
The 90-Day Men’s Health Challenge will help participants reverse or eliminate chronic metabolic health conditions (i.e., type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity, excess body fat around the waist, abnormal cholesterol, etc.) that cause a variety of symptoms (i.e., fatigue, erectile dysfunction, joint pain, weight gain, urination problems, anxiety, depression, mood changes, etc.).
During the 90-day journey, urologist Dr. Kevin Billups and Restorative Lifestyle Strategist Tony Holt will use an evidence-based approach to equip and empower men with tools to improve, reduce or reverse these chronic health conditions. View their bios below.
