Join Dr. Jon Repole, a 20-year experienced holistic functional medicine practitioner, for the Jacksonville Health and Wellness Center’s (JHWC) free Weight-Loss Challenge 2022 class at 6:30 p.m. on January 13.

    This challenge will provide attendees with some of the secrets to losing those stubborn pounds without fad and yo-yo dieting gimmicks. Too many diet programs focus on quick weight-loss schemes that sacrifice long-term benefits (reversal of disease and optimal health) for short-term gains (weight loss only). In addition to dietary instructions, additional layers of challenges will be provided to help with stress reduction, hormonal balancing, and exercise initiation. All these strategies can be implemented immediately for sustainability and ease.

   According to the Centers for Disease Control, three out of four Americans are either obese or overweight. Fat accumulation, especially around our vital organs, is directly related to all-cause mortality, accelerated aging, inflammation and increased toxicity.

Location: 9957 Moorings Dr., Ste. 403, Jacksonville. For more information or to sign up, call 904-268-6568. Also visit DrRepole.com. See ad, page 27.
