Nutrition & Exercise

As the life expectancy of Americans continues to increase, the pressing concern for many health professionals has shifted from living longer to living healthier. Proper nutrition and physical activity are integral parts of the healthy living equation. People who exercise regularly and follow healthy eating habits lower their risk of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, osteoporosis, depression, anxiety, cancer, sleep problems, frailty and more. Regular exercise and attention to proper nutrition is essential to optimal health and reducing health risks. The American Academies of Medicine now recommend 30 minutes of sustained exercise all or most days of the week. There is clear evidence that a combination of regular cardiovascular and strength training provides benefit far greater than any single medicine doctors can prescribe.

Sifting through countless articles on nutrition and exercise can be frustrating. With his experience in medical nutrition, exercise physiology and personal background in competitive bodybuilding and mixed martial arts, Dr. Kocka has the knowledge to help guide program members through effective exercise routines based on their goals. We can also recommend qualified personal trainers and certified strength trainers in the area. Dr. Kocka will provide tips on optimal nutrition and give specific suggestions to change your individual eating habits.

In addition to healthy eating habits and exercise guidance, we recommend specific vitamins, nutrients and herbals which can assist each program member with their specific goals. There are some general nutrients that have been demonstrated to be effective in promoting health and fight the aging process.
