Inspiring a Chain Reaction For Special Needs Families To Better Health
Non-Invasive Preventive Screening to understand how lifestyle affects health, and how to make changes to optimize wellness.
Statistics show that 1 in 4 people in the United States live with a disability. Studies have found that people with disabilities are less likely to get preventive health care services which they need to stay healthy. Also, they are three times more likely to develop diabetes due to poor dietary habits, low physical activity and/or weight disturbances.
At BodyK we provide support and assistance with the goal of optimizing the current and future health of people with autism spectrum disorder as well as other disabilities. We are also focusing our efforts on supporting the health of their families and caregivers.
