OUR STORY

Many hospitals and care centres around the world are noticing a significant increase in patients with lifestyle induced health problems, for example type 2 diabetes which can result in amputations and therefore dramatic lifestyle restrictions.

​

We established Greenlight Health because we know that, in many cases, these conditions or diseases can be prevented without prescribed medication, but by changing the way we think and live our lives. At Greenlight Health we feel like we have a responsibility to get the message out there that everyone can live a healthier, richer more meaningful life but this requires lifestyle change and a shift in our thinking.

​

Lifestyle change is difficult, research by Murray in 2013 showed that after one year 50% of dieters regain their lost weight and 75 percent of quitters will start smoking again. Lifestyle change is difficult and the responsibility should not entirely be placed on individuals. We should be supported through this process with evidence-based strategies and a compassionate approach which is where Greenlight Health can help.

 

A shift in mindsets is needed if we are going to succeed in addressing this epidemic of chronic health disorders impacting our societies.
