Many patients and physicians have the ability to assist themselves and others in leading a healthier lifestyle, they just don’t quite know where to start. The CHIP project is a local program that is completely run by volunteers with a goal of educating others about the importance of proper nutrition and exercise. The program has been shown to not only have a dramatic impact on participant’s physical health, but on their mental health as well. Many found that they had enhanced psychological well being due to heightened confidence and overall wellness.

- Those who follow the CHIP method found that their risk of complications associated with future chronic illness notably decreased.
- It has been shown that just being a part of a health study alone can subconsciously impact a persons’ behavior, subtly pointing them towards healthier choices.
