Questions? 800.681.0794 12 Day Stopping Diabetes ProgramWhat is the 12-day Stopping Diabetes Program?Our original program is still the most complete guide to starting your journey to stop diabetes before it stops you. It begins with your 12 day get-away. 12 days where the office, housework, family, and civic responsibilities are left behind, and your only focus is your diabetes. 12 days to renew, re-energize, and re-vitalize your body, soul and spirit. When’s the last time you spent 12 days focusing on renewing your health? You simply thrive in our 'training center' atmosphere. Of course there’ll be classes presented by our health professionals. There’ll be one-on-one appointments and group workshops with physicians, nutritionists, fitness experts and behaviorists. You’ll make new friends and be able to network with others who have diabetes, learning in a collective experience format as you watch the professionals model the lifestyle for you. But the best part of it all is that you’ll get to see our professional staff on campus. You’ll have a chance to sit and eat meals with them. You get a chance to pick their brain. Imagine…what would you ask your physician if you got the chance to eat together sometime? You leave behind the theory of what you need to do and embrace the experience of doing it. You probably already know how important it is to stay active and eat right. But perhaps you haven't realized there are many other lifestyle factors that play a vital role in stopping diabetes. So how do you put this puzzle together? Not only will we show you what it means in our presentations and workshops, but you get to experience it daily. From the stretching class in the morning to the hands on cooking training to the label reading exercise with your nutritionist to deciphering your lab results with the physician. What does this mean for you? It means we take the guesswork out. It is about working smarter, not harder. When you’re back on the shuttle heading home, you’ll finally know exactly HOW to do what has been puzzling you all along, because you’ve been doing it for 12 days. We come up with a tailor fit health plan just for you. Our medical staff runs a complete set of labs for you. Some you’ve probably never heard of. But here’s the kicker. The results tell our physician not only that you have diabetes, but WHY you have diabetes. Did you know there are three possibilities as to the exact cause? Best of all, you get to know EXACTLY how your diabetes is progressing, what you need to do to change its course, and our physician will work with you to create a plan to get you the best results possible. It doesn’t end there though. The nutrition staff, fitness staff, and behavioral team work within the physician’s guidelines to give you the knowledge, tools, and support you need to get your life back. Most clients are surprised how much progress they can make in a few short days. The good news is: You are in charge of your diabetes. You have the power to choose things that stop your diabetes or make it worse. And we teach you how to put that power to work. Do you still need your physician? Of course you do! His medical consults serve as guidelines, but it’s really up to you how to stop this disease. And once you know how, it’ll make all the difference. We know your biggest challenge will be how you succeed at home, that’s why we support you for 12 months. It’s not easy changing your habits. And doing it around family, friends, and old hang-outs makes it even more challenging. Which is why we team you up with a health coach for an entire year. Your training experiences continue through monthly phone presentations with your class. And you have the advantage of using your coach to get answers to your questions, get through life’s roadblocks, and get motivated to continue your improvement. That’s it. It’s simple, powerful and based on 12 year’s worth of experience and results. What kind of results?Here’s what some of our alumni have been able to accomplish:

Physician & Medical Services – A board-certified physician will provide you with the time and help you need to get to the root issue of what is causing your diabetes to progress, instead of just medicating its symptoms.
Laboratory Services – A complete suite of laboratory tests are provided as part of the medical services. The results will guide your physician in the treatment of your health, and will enable him/her to explain what each test and your results mean about your health and what you can do about it. This allows YOU, to make informed decisions about your health and puts you in control of your diabetes care. The following test are included in our services:
Optional lab tests - there are a couple more lab tests we may recommend after your initial lab work depending on your clinical circumstances. Even though they are not part of the standard lab package and additional fees would apply, neither of these tests will be performed without first discussing it with you and getting your permission.
Nutritional Therapy – It is said that “you are what you eat�, therefore a key component of “lifestyle medicine� is optimal nutrition. At the Stopping Diabetes Program, you will learn more about the proven relationship between nutrition and your health than most physicians learn in medical school.
Exercise and Fitness Evaluation – As part of your health assessment, we evaluate your current fitness.
Exercise Therapy – with the results of your fitness evaluation, our trainers will work with you to craft a custom exercise program for you. The exercise method researched at Lifestyle Center of America provides a little bit of rest for every minute of exercise. This results in faster weight loss, better cardio-vascular condition and (almost best of all), minimal lactic acid buildup in the muscles (no soreness!).
Therapeutic Spa Services (a la carte services) – After any spa experience, you'll feel balanced, centered and renewed. Our spa is a tranquil retreat for the mind, body, soul and spirit.
Learning Experiences – your Stopping Diabetes Program features no-nonsense learning experiences that have been created to provide you with the knowledge, tips, skills and understanding needed to achieve your goals. Presented by the highly trained professional staff, you will learn and experience the process of true health restoration.
1 Year Health Coaching & Follow Up - Your Stopping Diabetes Program begins with a 12-day residential experience at one of our locations but it doesn't stop there. We are dedicated to your success for an entire year.
*The spiritual component of our program is Christian-based. However, we welcome and respect guests of all religious faiths as well as those who have none. While medical research has shown that a spiritual component is necessary for optimal health, the Christian spiritual component of the Stopping Diabetes Program is optional.
