to support a healthier you and a healthy baby!

Welcome to Dr. Mick and our Programs - specifically, for prenatal and gestational diabetes.

Congratulations! You are visiting this site because you are pregnant or have just delivered your baby - it is a wonderful and exciting time. It may also be a time of anxiousness - especially if you have just been told that you have gestational diabetes. But those words don't have to frighten you. We're here to provide you with continuous support for proper nutrition and exercise throughout your pregnancy. Customizing your diet and fitness plans, your pregnancy diet will be customized for you as will an exercise plan to keep you active and fit while you are pregnant. Your success will be dependent on blood glucose regulation (BGR) and its effect on insulin levels in the blood.

We look forward to sharing with you the most current information to help you progress through all stages of pregnancy - prenatal, post partum and then getting back to shape. We will work to help you improve your health and well being, empowering you to enhance your ability to metabolize food, control BGR, strengthen your immune system, and, at the same time, increase your energy level. In addition, it can really help you to lose weight or maintain the weight you desire without deprivation or hunger. Diet will be a lifestyle - your lifestyle. Exercise, activity and fitness will be your lifestyle too.

Gestational diabetes is a medical issue that is controllable through diet and exercise. We will work with you to ensure your doctor's requests are met. By adopting Dr. Mick's approach to food consumption, regulating blood glucose levels will help control your weight throughout pregnancy. After delivery, the diet and activity habits we'll work on during pregnancy will help get you back to shape after pregnancy. What you eat, when you eat it, how your exercise and what exercises you do all play important roles in making certain you and your baby are healthy.

We invite you to change lifelong habits into life affirming choices for good health via regulating your blood sugar, building and maintaining your vital metabolism, increasing daily activity and exercise, learning proper core eating habits to regulate blood glucose and controlling gestational diabetes. Integrating the latest nutritional facts into a common sense eating lifestyle will increase energy and overall health - all this doing via a safe exercise for the prenatal and post partum.
