My Call for HELP!<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>

Hi \u2013 welcome to our Blog<\/p>\n

We all know that keeping ourselves healthy is a good thing for many reasons \u2013 if we don\u2019t, we run the risk of suffering from all the issues caused by carrying a few too many pounds \u2013 things like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, stroke even some cancers!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not rocket science to realise that eating differently and exercising a little more than what we do now is the way forward. But the providers of service i.e. the NHS, Public Health, GP\u2019s, Education or the even the Leisure Industry I work in has got it right \u2013 the prevalence of lifestyle illnesses continue to grow.<\/p>\n

The added ingredient to diet and exercise that we promote and include in our service \u2013 and this is from my own personal experience \u2013 is looking after your mind too \u2013 mental health illness is a growing concern!<\/p>\n

So, what are we at GCLL doing about it?<\/p>\n

At GCLL, we do things different to most other similar facilities \u2013 we really are supportive of those who have a lifestyle illness but more important, I want us to be the preventative service to help and support everyone to give themselves the best opportunity to allowing themselves to not suffer any of these horrible health issues. At the end of the day, they can take lives away from us! Our focus is moving towards being much more health related than solely on increasing people\u2019s exercise!<\/p>\n<\/div>

My Mission<\/h3>\n<\/div>

My mission is to \u2018change what we eat, increase our exercise and for us all to look after our minds\u2019!<\/p>\n

We will be employing different people with different skills and qualifications to help us achieve my mission. Not only will we have highly qualified and experienced Fitness Instructors, Personal Trainers, Group Exercise Teachers etc but we already have a Nutritionist and a Cardiac Rehabilitation exercise professional to lead on two new hugely successful services we now offer \u2013 Fix Type 2 and our Cardiac Phase 4 scheme. In the future, I expect we will be employing professionals around motivation, physiotherapy, psychology, occupational therapy and, I\u2019m sure, many more.<\/p>\n

We also recognise that we can\u2019t achieve this on our own \u2013 there needs to be a better joined up approach between all the associated services \u2013 the problem with this approach will be the potential of differing and confusing messages\/information\/advice being given to you. To avoid this, we want to work with other service providers who think and act like us \u2013 with this in mind, we have just entered in to a service agreement with EMIS Care (the provider of the NHS diabetic eye screening service) and for them to provide this service at Cascades Leisure Centre. It is hoped also for the diabetic foot screening service to also be based at Cascades in future months.<\/p>\n<\/div>

My Call for HELP!<\/h3>\n<\/div>

With our successes including getting people with type 2 diabetes in to remission, it\u2019s not surprising that I want to spread the word that we can help anyone with type 2 \u2013 so my call of help to you is simple \u2013 for you to please share our Fix Type 2 programme with any friends, family or work colleagues so that we can have the opportunity to help them in turn. For more information on this fantastic and successful service click\u00a0here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You may also find it beneficial to read my own personal journey of being un-well. A copy of \u2018My Journey\u2019 can be found\u00a0here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Please come back here soon as I will be giving further insights in to a very broad range of topics that we all face on a day-to-day basis.
\nKeep yourself healthy
