"During a routine physical in August 2006, my doctor informed me that I was at risk for a range of health problems including hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes.  I had reached the point where I knew I needed to lose weight and change my lifestyle for myself and family.  My employer directed me to the SmartChoice program to educate and assist me in developing a long-term healthy lifestyle change.  Through the assistance of Licensed Dietitian, Morgan Rouleau, I have lost over 80 pounts, lowered my blood pressure within normal limits, reduced my cholesterol and been taken off prescription medications.  I am looking forward to my continued partnership with SmartChoice as I work toward attaining my ultimate health goals."

"I learned about SmartChoice through an in-service training.  I felt that I needed to make a lifestyle change with my eating habits and exercise.  I signed up and met with Morgan Rouleau.  She has taught me how to pick out healthy foods and alternatives to not so healthy foods.  By changing my diet and starting an exercise program I am hoping to add some years to my life and live healthier.  Not only has Morgan taught my wife and I how to eat better, but also she has taught us valuable information on topics such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, different types of fats, and the importance of a high fiber diet.  I would recommend this program to anybody that wants to get into a healthier lifestyle but doesn't quite know where to start.  Thanks Morgan!"

"I started out at 150 + pounds and with my cholesterol starting to rise and borderline diabetes and high blood pressure I needed a change. I started exercising at Wellness but every time I convinced myself I needed to diet I would just binge even more.

I met Morgan at the NCH benefits fair and she informed me of this great program. A short visit with Morgan and Carolyn I went away with information enough for a lifetime change. I was told that on this diet I would not be hungry, why most starvation diets don't work. Being a non believer I started out on the plan. I started loosing inches and pounds every week. At first Morgan would contact me frequently and I would share my joy at reducing my body fat and pounds.

After a few short months I found I was not counting calories but just watching what I ate. I learned which foods were better for me, what foods were free to eat without too much moderation, how to cheat once in awhile with 1 cookie instead of about 20, and how to choose foods in a restaurant that will still keep me on track. Four months later at a weight of 133, I have reduced my blood pressure, gone from a dress size 12 to a size 8, improved my appearance and most of all FEEL BETTER. The smart choice program teaches you to eat healthier so you can feel better about yourself."
