Change Your Lifestyle with Dr. Fuhrman

We all know that a healthy lifestyle will help you feel and look your best. The Lifestyle Change Program provides an effective plan for establishing, reaching and maintaining fitness, weight and wellness goals. Participants attend supervised exercise, nutrition and stress management classes for two hours twice a week for 12 weeks. This program is based on a whole foods, plant-based Nutritarian diet developed by The New York Times best-selling author Joel Fuhrman, MD.

Twice a week, participants work out for one hour under the guidance of a certified fitness trainer. These sessions will help you establish the principles of proper cardiovascular exercise and strength training to improve balance, core strength and flexibility.

In the nutrition component, a registered dietitian will advise eliminating specific unhealthy foods from your diet and introduce you to new nutritional habits. Some examples of lessons include recognizing true hunger, meal planning and shopping tips, as well as tips for dining out. In addition, Dr. Fuhrman will present three nutritional lectures and answer questions about the Nutritarian diet.

Implementing change can be difficult—we all struggle with day-to-day challenges that hinder success. In the stress management component of the program, participants learn everyday tools to support well-being, as well as stress reduction techniques to help achieve wellness goals.

The program runs every Monday and Wednesday for two hours, with day and evening times available. The fee is $775. Location: Chambers Center for Well Being, 435 South Street, Suite 160, Morristown. For information, call 973-971-4890.
