Herbalife Encourages Consumers to Take
Action in November to Prevent Diabetes
In support of November being Diabetes Prevention Month,
Herbalife, a premier health and wellness company, announced today
that its Lifestyle Intervention Program is recognized by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the national
public health agency of the United States as complying with their
standards for a CDC Certified Diabetes Prevention Program.
November is National Diabetes Awareness Month and according to
the CDC and Prevention, about 38 million Americans live with
diabetes and 97 million with prediabetes, a health condition that
can lead to type 2 diabetes. A CDC-recognized lifestyle change
program is an evidence-based solution that can reduce a person’s
risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58% and 71% in individuals
aged 65 and older.
“We are excited that we will be offering a CDC recognized
lifestyle change program, a curriculum-based approach that focuses
on behavior change to help improve weight loss, and is backed by
scientific evidence,” said Dr. Kent Bradley, Herbalife’s Chief
Health and Nutrition Officer. “Herbalife is the first direct
selling company to be a provider of this CDC-recognized
program.”
Studies published in peer reviewed journals, including The New
England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet Diabetes &
Endocrinology, found that a behavior change program demonstrated
success better than certain medications in reducing incidence of
Type 2 Diabetes and has now become the basis of the CDC Program,
and is followed internationally.
Upon obtaining certification by the CDC, Herbalife launched a
one-year program with its wellness staff experts with the goal of
them becoming CDC recognized “Master Trainers.” It is the company’s
intent to earn full plus CDC recognition, and the ability to train
and certify its Distributor coaches as CDC recognized lifestyle
coaches.
