CHIP Graduates
- “I have lost 25 pounds now all together and am off my lantus insulin, 47 units daily, and no more regular sliding scale insulin. Thanks again for all you have done to impact my life in a positive way, and for giving me the knowledge to make the right choices for myself and for my health! I am a lot healthier today than I was when we first met.”
- Sherry Kok, Director of Nursing (IL)
- “The more I learn about the CHIP concept and its clinical results, the more I am impressed. It is a fantastically practical way to capture the essence of health education and making a big difference in the lives of many.”
- Darren Morton, PhD, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Education, Avon College (Australia)
- “Based on documented, sound nutritional practices, this approach is for anyone who wants to improve their lifestyle and well-being. Following the principles of this program helped me lose weight, feel better, and have more confidence in my health.”
- Peg Haffey, 3rd Grade Teacher (IL)
- “It [CHIP] changed our lifestyle. We feel healthy, we eat healthy. I wish all of the doctors would be aware of it. I would highly recommend it. I don’t see why doctors don’t recommend it more”
- Mark Corke, Dentist (FL)
- “I lost 52 lbs., cholesterol dropped 50 points, and I have more energy than I can remember. Thank you for CHIP.”
- Lynda Kettering
- “I had a massive heart attack on November 10, 2000. I am also a Type II diabetic. I started the CHIP program in February. The results have been outstanding! I am no longer on medication for diabetes, I’ve lost weight and my heart condition continues to improve. This program is for everyone wanting to have a healthy lifestyle.” –Denis Van Raes, Penticton
- “I’ve had fibromyalgia for 20 years and was to the point that I couldn’t walk without a cane. I couldn’t sleep for more than 2 hours at a time because I’d wake up from the pain. I was too young to feel so old. I went to a free information session and decided to register as a birthday present to myself. After only one week I was sleeping 6-8 hours without waking up. After 4 weeks I walked 20 miles in one weekend without pain and without my cane! I am alive again! With my increased health, I am discovering Penticton for the first time!” –Wendy Willan-Cohoe, Penticton
- “I started going to CHIP because I just wasn’t feeling good. I hoped to drop some weight which I did but also my cholesterol went down significantly. I’ve also had a reduction in blood pressure. I’ve never felt so good and this is after just 4 weeks! I’ve got more energy than I’ve had for years. I’m so enthused about this program!” –Ed Gowe, Penticton
Physicians and Public Policy Leaders
- “If a cost-efficient program like CHIP were expanded across the country, it could reduce the risk of heart disease (and diabetes, obesity, and cancer) in millions of people.”
- Michael F. Jacobson, PhD, Executive Director
Center for Science in the Public Interest
- “CHIP has the tools which allows a workable lifestyle medicine approach to health that many doctors and medical students never learn. We have been implementing the CHIP system with our medical students with great success and are considering this training on a on-going basis.”
- Wayne Dysinger, MD, MPH, Chairman Dept. of Preventive Medicine
Loma Linda University School of Medicine (CA)
- “When I first heard about CHIP through the glowing testimonials of others I was skeptical. But, after holding three CHIP programs in our community, I was amazed at how the success of the program matched and exceeded the testimonials I saw on the DVDs. The CHIP program really works!”
- Simon E. Witter, MD, Family Practice Physician (FL)
