OBESITY

The Obesity Epidemic is DRIVEN by Ultra-Processed Foods

Today, we face an unprecedented crisis in America. Over 80% of Americans are either overweight or obese. The effect of obesity results in over 200 co-morbidities impacting our health and shortening our lives. Wellweight.com is a public awareness project of the Wellness Institute.

Childhood obesity is at epidemic proportions in the US.

The Wellness Institute is developing a series of edutainment programs that will be delivered online and in live events at schools, faith communities, and other public venues. Our goal is to prevent disease before it forms. Educating our young is the only long term solution to prevent obesity and other health conditions. Dr. NERD’s Wellness Habits is the first of our efforts. There will be more to come soon...

Watch Now

The Dr. N.E.R.D. Program, an initiative of the Wellness Institute, is designed to provide education and awareness training to school-age children. Its mission is to prevent the development of chronic diseases by promoting and teaching healthy lifestyle habits that enhance overall wellness and reduce the risk of illness.

The program places a strong emphasis on preventative education, recognizing that many chronic conditions, such as Type 2 diabetes, can be effectively prevented or reversed through simple lifestyle changes. Given that Type 2 diabetes is among the most preventable and reversible diseases in the United States, the Dr. N.E.R.D. Program highlights the importance of body fat reduction and the adoption of sustainable health practices to empower young people to take control of their long-term health.
