The Taos Whole Community Health Diabetes Prevention Program is a free, year-long lifestyle change program designed to help participants prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. Grounded in the CDC’s evidence-based PreventT2 curriculum, the program focuses on building practical, sustainable habits through professional coaching and peer support.

The curriculum covers improved nutrition, active movement, sustainable weight management, and stress reduction.

Cohort sessions include mindful eating, meal planning, managing triggers, and maintaining healthy choices away from home.

Individuals may qualify if they have prediabetes (confirmed via an A1C or qualifying blood test), a history of gestational diabetes, or a high score on the CDC Diabetes Risk Assessment.

The upcoming round of the program is scheduled to kick off on October 7, 2026.

With 4 trained and certified coaches, you’ll get the best opportunity for the changes you want with the support you need.

"Technically", summer is over, but peach & tomato season has until the end of September, so we’re embracing this dish. 🍑🍅

It’s a dead-simple recipe that puts the goodness of peach and tomato at center stage, with a supporting cast consisting of olive oil, balsamic, and mozzarella.

Enjoy!

Ready for your next Fitness and Nutrition Tip, my friends? Let’s talk about working out consistently!

Sticking to a regular workout schedule, especially in the morning, can really help you lose weight and build solid exercise habits.

Here’s how to make it stick:
- Schedule it: Block out workout time like it’s a must-do appointment.
- Keep it easy: Pick a time and place that fit your day so it’s less of a hassle.
- Start small: Set doable goals and ramp up as you get stronger.
- Prep ahead: Lay out your gear or pack your bag the night before to make mornings smoother.

Stay motivated by:
- Doing what you enjoy so it feels fun, not a chore.
- Setting clear goals that mean something to you.
- Tracking your progress to see how far you’ve come.
- Finding a buddy or group to keep you accountable.

And remember:
- Don’t stress if you miss a workout here and there—just get back at it.
- Mix things up to keep it interesting, but no pressure to change everything right away.
- Be patient and celebrate your wins.
