As Medical Officer of Health and Director of Primary Health Care in the Cayman Islands, my role includes addressing key policy issues and health protection and promotion programs geared towards improving the country’s health profile.

For the past 27 years, I have served various roles in the country's healthcare system. I have seen the changing demographics and health status through the many initiatives and programs implemented to improve the standard of living for all people in these islands.
The Cayman Islands has one of the most advanced healthcare systems in the region and I am pleased to have been a part of its development over these 27 years.

Whilst the country has a role in setting and maintaining health policies and programs to improve healthcare and well being, health is also a personal responsibility. Each and every individual must make a determined effort to take charge of their health. I commend the members of the GIS team who are participating in this program.

Our workplace health promotion program is available at no cost to workplaces and I encourage all businesses in the Cayman Islands to take advantage of it .

I am a Family Physician with a special interest in Preventive Medicine. For the past three years, I have been the co-coordinator of the Diabetic Public Education course and have participated in various health seminars, specifically regarding lifestyle changes and healthy choices.

Make every effort to increase your daily physical activity. Even moderate exercise is good, and being tired is not an excuse! In fact that may be a a great time to exercise and get energized!

You need to find what works for you. Something that involves friends and family, laughing and hard work. This does not come easy or without its ups and downs!

I have been doing lifestyle counseling for more than five years. I have coordinated several eight weeks to wellness courses at the Savannah Adventist Church, Kings Adventist church and at the Health Services Authority. The course is a lifestyle program dteaches people how to make changes in their lifestyle in order to lose weight, maintain weight and live a healthy productive life.

If their goal is to lose weight, be patient! You did not gain all the weight in one day so you will not lose all of it in one day. Healthy eating and lifestyle changes are what will allow you to achieve and maintain your objective.

I am a Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner whose main focus is directed towards promoting and maintaining health.

Taking the Challenge is one of the most important decisions they have made. Initially all the required lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) will be challenging but it becomes easier as it is incorporated into their daily routine. Participants are encouraged to make their goals realistic and start with small, manageable and achievable ones so that motivation will come from their own success.

I am a certified spinning instructor (Body Training Systems Group Ride &
Keiser Indoor Cycling.) I've also received certification from the
American Swim Coaches Association & the Aquatic Exercise Association. I hold a Fitness & Nutrition diploma from the International Correspondence Schools, and have successfully competed internationally in squash.

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Indoor cycling has a stigma attached to it. Most people think spinning is too hard to handle. But they're wrong! Indoor cycling is for everyone from beginners to the most elite athlete. You are alwayts in control of what you do. Although you are in a group setting, it is very individualized as the participant is the one controlling his/her resistance. Having said this, the biggest hurdle is the saddle. I can’t think of any other activity that might get you in the position you are in on a bicycle, so the muscles do need to get used to it.

I have worked as a physiotherapist for the past 12 years. Currently, I am completing a doctorate in Physical Therapy.

Exercise is the elixir for long life and health. Partake frequently and reap the rich rewards.

I am a senior instructor licensed from the Japan Federation. In addition, I hold an 8th Dan license in Shindo and Wado, as well as an NCCP (from Canada National Coaching Program) Level 1 Technical and Theory for teaching Karate.

Take it easy the first couple of weeks and come with a relaxed mind. Train how your body feels and don’t push yourself until you become stronger with each class. Karate is for everyone – no matter what age or capability.
