Wellness Wednesday: Lifestyle Medicine Pillar: Physical Activity and it’s role in preventing/managing chronic disease
Please join us for Wellness Wednesday with our returning expert Wendy Cody PA. Wendy has a practice in Chili where she sees patients for both Family and Lifestyle Medicine. She is coming to the JCC to educate us on the obesity epidemic in America and what we can do for ourselves to avoid/prevent/reverse this chronic disease using movement/physical activity/exercise.
Obesity can lead to a myriad of complications including cancer, stroke metabolic syndrome, mental health issues and more. Wendy will break down the misconception surrounding the number on the scale is based off of calories in and calories out. She will be using evidence-based research from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine to educate us on things like basic metabolic rate and how to increase it, thermic effect of food, resistance training, muscle mass and more.
Wendy has a walking desk/treadmill in her office and I believe it’s portable. She may be presenting while walking! Please join us for this informative, fun and educational opportunity to learn from a board-certified Lifestyle Medicine provider.
We’d love to hear from you! Send your comments, suggestions, and questions to RRHWellness@RochesterRegional.org
