CHIP has helped more than 50,000 people to recover their health through its exciting and engaging journey into the causes and consequences of our "present state of health" in Western countries. CHIP is helping everyday people learn not only "WHY" we need to make better lifestyle choices but also "HOW" to stop the 'good life' from killing us. CHIP teaches how the choices we make everyday can enable us to prevent, arrest, and even reverse the diseases that are killing us (heart disease, diabetes, obesity, & hypertension). CHIP teaches that the principles of health are an absolute necessity rather than a fad, here today and gone tomorrow. It is NOT natural to be obese and hypertensive, have high cholesterol and triglycerides, and to suffer from heart disease and angina, diabetes, constipation, & heartburn. CHIP teaches how to make the choices that enable these "Western diseases" to be overcome.
