Program: Health Care and the Optimal Life: Bill Van Duker introduced our guest speaker: Dr. Christine Lee

Is the founder of Optimal Life and author of five books and DVD’s that teach individuals how to control chronic

diseases, such as diabetes, asthma and hypertension. Her passion for helping patients help themselves stems from

her experiences in over two decades as a health care professional, but her desire to help people with chronic

illnesses became personal when her son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 14. This life-changing

event was instrumental in leading Dr. Lee to create Optimal Life...Dr. Lee received her Doctor of Pharmacy from

the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California and her B.S. in Clinical Laboratory Science from the

University of Nevada, Reno... At Optimal Life, they believe that having a chronic illness shouldn’t stop you from

being the healthiest you can be and living your optimal life. It is my pleasure to introduce Dr. Christine Lee...Dr.

Lee focuses on the essential tools: knowing how the disease works in your body and how to prevent or slow

complications. Her straightforward, step-by-step approach makes it easy for anyone to walk away with a better

understanding of how to take control of their health. When you’re in control you can live your life to the fullest,

doing what you really want to do. How to Live Today So You Can Live Tomorrow...Diabetes occurs when the

pancreas no longer produces enough insulin. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the US today. Do

you know the four simple things you can do to prevent or slow the complications of diabetes? Once you master

these four steps, you’ll be able to measure and effectively manage your diabetes. The results will bring you back

to what’s important in your life – being the healthiest you can be. 1 out of 7 people in California have type 1 or 2

Diabetes. The secret is getting control and staying in control because your life is meant to be lived to the

fullest...Symptoms of Diabetes are Hunger – Frequent Urination – Excessive Thirst... It is a progressive disease

that causes Hi blood pressure, Hi cholesterol and Hi blood glucose.... How do you control Diabetes???

Remember, If you can’t measure it...you can’t control it...Be Proactive...Know What Tests to Get and When to

Get Tested...GET IN CONTOL – DO WHATEVER IT TAKES – Special Thanks to Doctor Lee for this

important presentation on the effects of chronic illnesses such as Diabetes... For more information you can go on
