1 in 4 Mauritians have diabetes. Out of those, half are undiagnosed. If those statistics do not frighten you, consider this. The average yearly number of diabetes amputees in Mauritius is 500. This is huge for a small island nation with a population of only 1.3m.
 
Not to mention the other devastating metabolic diseases afflicting our society and putting a huge burden on the health system: cardiovascular health, high blood pressure and obesity.
 
The majority of these cases are preventable by implementing incredibly simple changes to one’s lifestyle and diet.
 
We are thrilled to welcome Dr Damien Steciuk, General Practitioner, to share his knowledge and wisdom about:
 
Diabetes, pre-diabetes and insulin resistance: what is it, how to identify if you are at risk, and what you can do about it
Heart health: is it really about cholesterol?
Stress: how to identify it, the damaging effects and possible solutions
Mind/body medicine: myth or reality
The gut health debate: what is gut microbiome and how you can improve it
Is exercise the magical cure of all ails: benefits and limitations
Sleep: why we sleep so little and why we should all aspire to sleep more.
