CHIP Testimonials

Employees improved their biometrics, lost weight, and feel better and healthier.

"Through the years I have read a lot of self improvement books and taken quite a few classes in order to improve my health and well being. Without a doubt, one of the best courses with the most far reaching results has been the CHIP program that I took last fall. I will also say it has been one of the hardest, but then again, the results were life changing. I lost 25 pounds, my rosacea has improved, and the brain fog that I attributed to "just getting older" has lifted and I have more energy than I have had in years.  It was pretty challenging at first, but I got used to the new lifestyle and now I feel so healthy and strong. Okay, I still cheat here and there, but now I can really feel it when I'm off track and the benefits of staying the course are so evident. If you're thinking about making a jump and are ready to put in the effort required to make lifestyle changes you will not regret taking the CHIP program. It's interesting, informative and super motivating."

“CHIP is the most educational and inspirational lifestyle program I have ever taken. It truly is comprehensive and complete - my favorite CHIP session is on ‘Practicing Forgiveness’! In general, I considered myself ‘healthy’ -  I’m active, practice mindfulness, don’t eat junk food, and eat lots of fruit and veggies. I still had a few issues I learned to live with such as my tummy aches. After improving how I eat from my learnings in CHIP, my tummy aches are now completely gone! My total cholesterol dropped 25 points with the dietary changes I made, and I lost 8 pounds. I learned there is a whole world of nutrients out there I was missing out on. I love my new lifestyle, and don’t miss anything about how I used to be before CHIP!”

“My girlfriend participated in Pitkin County’s CHIP program, and, while I wasn’t a full participant, I feel like the program has changed my life for the better. Being Italian, and the “cook in the relationship” I was brought along kicking and screaming. Cook with no oil or salt? That seemed impossible and just straight up wrong. I ended up taking it as a challenge and the results for me were amazing. I lost 20 lbs, my blood pressure decreased and my lab values improved. I am now wearing the same size jeans as I wore in high school. I love the way I eat now and although you need to plan ahead and spend a little more time in the kitchen, the way I look and feel makes me a believer.
