HealthCoach Prevention Program (HCPP) is a shift in the treatment and prevention of chronic disease syndromes such as Type II Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Obesity and Neurodegenerative Diseases – Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease.
HealthCoach uses data from anthropological studies of modern day hunter-gatherer populations, Blue Zones regions from around the world with high concentrations of centenarians, and peer reviewed studies to develop prevention protocols for chronic disease syndromes and for cognitive loss.
HealthCoach emphasizes a return to the more primitive pre-agriculture diet and physical activity plan that made our ancient genome thrive.
HealthCoach suggests that the current rise in Chronic Disease Syndromes and Cognitive Loss is connected directly to the stress caused by consuming our modern Western American diet, and the lack of sustained physical activity that our genome was designed for.
HealthCoach addresses the connections between diet and “diseases of civilization” (evolutionary discordance) by modifying both diet and physical activity to match the complexity of our genomic selves.
HealthCoach understands nature does not miscalculate, it designed humankind and built our bodies to forage, hunt, eat plants, and to move daily in order to sustain a healthy life. Mankind was not built to go to a grocery store in a car and consume processed foods, that does not sustain life!
GERALD J. JOSEPH INTERNATIONAL, LLC
The Founder
I have spent my adult life studying public health, chronic disease prevention, and the science behind physical activity. My lifelong pursuit of knowledge has led me to the following core principles: 1) Nature got it right, 2) Chronic disease syndromes including cognitive loss is preventable by eating well and by being physically active, 3) We are a species designed to move distance with gate speed daily, 4) Whole, none processed organic foods are good for you, and 5) 8 hours of sleep a day allows the body to heal, restore and boost positive attitude. By following these principals my clients have improved the quality of their life through a host of health difficulties.
