Meet Tim (age 51, Executive)
Health and Wellness Goals: Tim wanted to become more active, and lower both his cholesterol and blood pressure levels without medication. He also wanted to diminish his shoulder pain without having surgery.
“I was working long hours, entertaining and going to business dinners. Life gets in the way and time passes. Soon, 10 years of that lifestyle catches up to you. When I came to Medcan, I felt like I was at a crossroads. I was heading toward a life that required surgery and beta blockers, or I could try another route.”

Meet Ben (age 30, Analyst)
Health and Wellness Goals: Ben wanted to improve his overall health, and avoid needing medication for high cholesterol and early signs of gout. He was also experiencing frequent headaches and low energy levels.
“I was a 29-year-old committed to my job and making little time for grocery shopping or healthy lunches. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised at my health results, but seeing the numbers was a shock. My levels were so high, I had six months to make an improvement or I’d be going on medication for my cholesterol levels.”
Medcan Strategy: Teach the skills needed to balance meals and normalize the timing of meals. Provide guidance on meeting nutritional needs through food and supplements, while minimizing cravings for unhealthy foods during stressful and busy times.
