Take Shape for Life testimony

[Guest guest]

Docs:

In listening to the audio of the House hearing on the IME issue, it

was interesting to listen to the first part of the session, which

was testimony by "Take Shape For Life" representatives (audio link

below), who are trying to get the State to endorse their weight-loss

program. Apparently due to the Governor's mandate to change the

status quo when it comes to healthcare, the legislature seems to now

be open to options that will lower health costs and risk factors,

and were surprisingly favorable toward the "Take Shape For Life"

program, which is the MLM component of MediFast. Here is the excerpt

of that portion of the hearing, which is definitely worth listening

to:

"Take

Shape For Life" testimony

To my dismay, the testimony for the "Take Shape For Life" program

was given predominately by lay persons and some members of the

medical profession, but not by chiropractors. If we are going to

lead the charge to improve the health of Oregonians and ultimately

all Americans, we need to start offering better solutions for

general fitness and weight management in addition to good

chiropractic care. That's where the EvolvHealth e84 Wellness

Challenge comes in, which, in my opinion, is a better program than

the "Take Shape For Life" system, since it not only targets weight

loss (e84 BURN) but also people who want to increase their fitness

(e84 FUEL) and athletes who want to take it to the next level (e84

EDGE). And the great thing about the EvolvHealth e84 Challenge is

that the Chief Science Officer behind it is Dr. Anne Bodak , a

chiropractor! Her goal is to get 8.4 million Americans to complete

an 84-day wellness challenge over the next 8.4 years and thereby

significantly reduce our healthcare costs. But since we don't have a

lot of time in our offices to promote and manage weight-loss

programs, etc., it's great to finally have someone come up with a

cost-effective, evidence-based (Vern!), as well as Internet-based,

wellness program that simply entails referring patients to a web

site. As patients participate in the program and begin purchasing

products, just like the "Take Shape For Life" representatives

revealed to the legislators as to how they get paid, EvolvHealth

rewards you by paying the difference between the wholesale price and

the retail cost. Very simple, yet highly effective, and it keeps us

at the forefront of the wellness revolution in our patients' eyes.

from Dallas, Texas. The second is to a web site that gives

details on the e84 Challenge. And the third link is to a segment on

the "Good Morning Texas" TV show in which Evolver and professional

cyclist Geoff Godsey (who intends to break all of Lance Armstrong's

records) promotes the e84 Challenge and the Evolv products to the

show's staff.
