Obesity in U.S.

Obesity has been a major problem within the United States since the late 90's and it doesnt seem to be slowing down as Obesitry reaches an all time high among U.S. adults. As youth rates of obesity begin to rise, we can only hope there is a solution to the growing health epidemic.  At Speck Health, we believe that preventative care medicine will be that solution and programs such as our new Exponential Health program will provide a way to help people achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle while having fun at the same.
