Small ‘Bites’ is the Way to Wellness, According to Intermountain Health
(PRUnderground) June 2nd, 2024
The Intermountain Health Way to Wellness Program is a single, “bite-sized” class for people interested in learning about healthier eating.
“Many people are talking about weight loss, chronic illness, healthier eating, mental health, feeling better – all of which are influenced by our food choices,” said Carly Alba, a registered dietitian nutritionist with Intermountain Health. “Food is a huge part of our culture and lifestyle. Even a few easy adjustments in a person’s diet can impact their overall wellness. We often just need a little help in getting started. That’s where the “Bites” class comes in.”
Intermountain Health’s Way to Wellness Program – formerly known as Weigh to Health – is a year-long CDC-approved diabetes prevention program facilitated by a registered dietitian. The program focuses on evidence-based methods to increase physical activity and improve nutrition to address health concerns like prediabetes, diabetes, heart disease, and other weight-related chronic conditions.
For people wanting a taste of the Way to Wellness experience, Way to Wellness “Bites” classes are scheduled for April 25, from 6-7:30 p.m. at both Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Utah and at Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, Utah. The class will focus on “Principles of Healthy Eating,” and cost $35.
The year-long Way to Wellness program, which comes with ample support, resources, and education, is often covered by commercial insurance plans.
