Meet your CHIP facilitator Coleen Dietsch-Krubl
 
Hello! Participating in CHIP has had a tremendously beneficial impact on my health.  But let me back up.  I have always been a fairly active person and, what I thought, was a healthy eater.  I thought I was doing pretty good.  However, because I've long had an interest in studying nutrition and health, when the opportunity to participate in CHIP presented itself last year, I jumped on it.  Through this, I discovered there was SO much more I could be doing to facilitate optimal health for myself!  I have implemented changes in my diet and lifestyle based on what I learned in CHIP that have resulted in my cholesterol being lowered to a stellar level, better gut health, reduced arthritis pain and greatly improved sleep (prior to CHIP I used an over-the-counter sleep aid but now I don't need it)! I found the knowledge gained through CHIP so profound and impactful that I decided to become a part of the team that helps spread the word.  I look forward to seeing you in class.  Here's to a healthier you!
