Background


An expanding waistline is sometimes considered the price of getting older, enjoying good food, and a sedentary lifestyle. Yet an increase in weight can do more than make it hard to zip up your jeans.

Research shows that being overweight also carries serious health risks, including impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study is to build the evidence for nutrient-based strategies for the management and prevention of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Participants will be asked to attend four morning visits (1x 1hr; 3x approximately 2-2.5hrs), and will receive an honorarium of approximately $150 for time spent at the clinic.

Benefits of Participation

  • You will be helping to advance medical research to discover a potential new nutrient-based strategy for the management and prevention of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
  • You will receive an honorarium of approximately $150 to cover time spent at the clinic and travel/parking costs.
