In his quest to help Americans battle the obesity crisis and obesity-related diseases like hypertension, Dr. Ian is bringing the The Makeover Mile to cities across the country. This grassroots initiative is designed to provide under-served communities with access to health care and important health information. The Makeover Mile Presents Ease the Pressure aims to turn back the tide when it comes to high blood pressure's effects on American adults. More than 70 million Americans suffer from high blood pressure and its related complications such as stroke, heart disease and kidney disease. By offering blood pressure screenings, educational workshops, and interactive activities, this completely free program will empower people to take control of their health and give them the tools to combat what is largely a preventable condition.
Dr. Ian is partnering with The Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship to help area residents better understand high blood pressure and what they can do to prevent and manage it. Almost one in three Americans are needlessly suffering from high blood pressure, so Dr. Ian and The Makeover Mile Presents Ease the Pressure are committed to empower them with the knowledge to do better, live longer, and live healthier.
