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, physical activity plan and biphasic slow wave sleep patterns 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, lack of sustained physical activity and poor quality NREM slow wave sleep patterns that our genome was designed for.
HealthCoach addresses the connections between diet and “diseases of civilization” (evolutionary discordance) by modifying both diet, physical activity and sleep patterns 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, to move daily and sleep regularly in order to sustain a healthy life. Mankind was not built to go to a grocery store in a car and consume processed foods, and synthetic chemicals, that does not sustain life!
