Do you know that the anti-aging/weight loss industry is one of, if not the, most explosive industries in the United States right now.
And what are the results?
We are struggling with weight and weight-related diseases more than any time in history, and there is no sign of stopping.
Colorado used to be the only state in the United States to have a 15-19% obesity rate (the lowest in the nation), but now that the Center for Disease Control has updated its statistics for 2010, we are above 20%, and growing.
Colorado Springs is not immune to these statistics, even though we are a relatively active city.
And Type II Diabetes is following suit, increasing along with obesity rates.
Not only is this a terribly sad state of affairs, ruining lives and (sometimes) relationships left and right, it is also financially dangerous.
