LIFESTYLE CHANGE PROGRAM

One proven program. Two ways to participate.
YOU KNOW YOUR RISK. LET’S TAKE THE NEXT STEP.

Because prevention isn’t about living longer
It’s about living fully — when it counts.

Many people are told they’re at risk for type 2 diabetes. Few are given a clear, structured path forward.
Information alone doesn’t change outcomes. Support does.

Prevention isn’t just about avoiding a diagnosis. It’s about being there — fully — for the moments that matter.

Walking your daughter down the aisle.
Keeping up with your grandchildren.
Traveling without hesitation.
Saying yes to life instead of worrying about what’s coming next.

STRUCTURE. ACCOUNTABILITY. COMMUNITY.

We deliver the CDC-recognized National Diabetes Prevention Program — a year-long, evidence-based intervention focused on changing the behaviors that lead to chronic disease.

This is not a diet.
It’s not a trend.
It’s a structured, supported process for sustainable change.

Here’s what makes it work:

  • One year of accountability and support
  • At least 22 live, coach-led sessions
  • Small, cohort-based groups
  • A trained Lifestyle Coach guiding every session
  • Personalized action plans designed for real life
  • Practical problem-solving skills
  • A supportive community where lasting friendships are formed

Graduates reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by at least 58%

TWO WAYS TO PARTICIPATE.

The Lifestyle Change Program is designed to meet you where you are — because building healthier habits should fit into your life, not compete with it.

IN-PERSON

  • Attend sessions at select community locations
  • Small group setting
  • Face-to-face connection

VIRTUAL

  • Join live, interactive sessions from anywhere

  • Same small group experience

  • Real-time Lifestyle Coach guidance

Whether you join us in the room or from home, you’ll experience the same supportive environment and guided coaching.

Same curriculum. Same structure. Same support.

So you can focus on what matters most — living the life you love.

ACCESS MATTERS.

Our National Diabetes Prevention Lifestyle Change Program is covered by most major insurance plans.

Scholarship options are available for those who qualify.

Because we’re a non-profit, we work hard to ensure that zip code, insurance coverage, or financial circumstances never stand in the way of living the life you love.
