Wellness Program Updates
First off, I world like to congratulate two of our Wellness Program members, drivers Kay and Dave, both of whom have really taken control of their personal health. For those who missed it, we were back on Sirius Radio on the Road Dog channel appearing on the Lockridge Report with host Evan Lockridge. Kay “Lady Cow-Girl” who originally heard about Roadside Medical and the Wellness Program on Evan’s show came back on and shared her results on-air.

Kay Update
After hearing about us on Evan’s show Kay contacted me and enrolled in the Driver Wellness Program. Kay’s goals were to stop smoking and lose weight. Good news! Not only has Kay been smoke free for over 40-days but she has also lost 24 pounds!

Welcome New Members
I would like to welcome our new members to the program. Listeners to Evan’s show found Kay’s results inspiring and several new drivers enrolled.

Eating Tip for Everyone
I would like to pass on an eating tip that you we hope you will find valuable. After talking with many of our wellness members that all have a habit of eating carbohydrates late at night, even those who know the health issues it can cause with diabetes.
Here’s the tip; if you are driving late and it is time to pull over for the night, reach for a snack high in protein such as; cottage cheese, turkey, tuna or chicken.

Next Post: Dave Update
Next post I will give you an update on Dave our very first wellness member and his results. Let me her from you with your questions and comments. Look for new clinic locations opening soon.

If you would like to see results like these or want to learn how wellness programs can save your company money by keeping drivers on the road, feel free to email me or call me at 602-692-2734.

Dave's up-date

Dave; it was good talking with you this weekend, sounds like you are staying focused. For all of you that are following Dave's road to reaching his personal health goals we are approaching his 60-day mark. Based on Dave's availability we plan to meet at the Knoxville Clinic around May 13th for his health check-in. So stay tuned!

Dave's Story - 30 Day Update

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:07:00 GMT

In my previous post, I told you Dave's story and how after receiving a free health check risk-assessment at a Roadside Medical Clinic, he realized it was time to take control of his health and wellness and became a member of Roadside Medical Clinic + Lab's Wellness Programs.

I’m pleased to report that Dave has done well in the past thirty days and is on his way to a healthier life. In the thirty days since Dave joined the program, he has:
•    Lost 10 lbs
•    Lowered his blood sugar from 107 to 78
•    Dropped his cholesterol 5 points

Dave has changed his diet, particularly by choosing healthier snacks (for instance, I explained to Dave that almonds or pecans are a much healthier choice than cashews) and he is following our Truckercise Program and Walking Guide to workout 5 times a week only using his rig. Dave has been checking in with me and other Roadside Medical Clinic + Lab health and wellness representatives to help him achieve these goals.

Dave’s goal for next month? Quit Smoking. We’ll be there to help.

Dave's Story

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 20:52:00 GMT

In my previous post, we asked you to Tell Us Your Story. In this post, we'll share Dave's. Dave is a Roadside Medical Wellness Program customer who allowed us to share his story.

Dave is a 39 year-old typical owner-operator. He’s from Pittsburgh, he’s on the road 3 out of every 4 weeks and like a lot of people, he knows he should be living a healthier lifestyle, but didn't know where to start.

Dave enrolled in our Wellness Program after a routine exam at a Roadside Medical Clinic uncovered elevated blood sugar and cholesterol. His risk assessment was:
•    HIGH - Type 2 Diabetes
•    HIGH - Weight
•    HIGH - Lower-Back Pain

Dave is committed to seeing these risk factors turn-around and has agreed to let us track his progress on this site. We’ll post updates here as often as possible. Check in periodically to see Dave’s progress and read other success stories.

If you have trouble knowing where to start with your or your company's wellness goals, feel free to email me here or call me at 602-692-2734.

Interested in making a lifestyle change or maybe you have already started and you wish to talk about it? I’m the son and brother of career drivers – both are owner-operators for over 50-years; I personally have devoted my entire career to the heath and wellness industry. Growing up in a trucking family I have a clear understanding of the challenges the professional drivers faces on the road. My intention is to provide you with a road map to help you navigate through the day by making simple adjustments that can have a positive impact on your health.

I’m committed to improving drivers’ health. To help meet their growing needs, Roadside Medical has teamed up with Pilot Travel Centers to build a coast-to-coast network of advanced medical facilities, tailored specifically for America’s over-the-road truckers.
